I agree, they do change the appearance of your car sometimes drastically depending on the color. Mine is midnight blue and I think the look gorgeous. I went to a Lexsus dealer tonight to look at a 996 turbo tonight and the salesman wouldn't stop about the speedster humps. I like to think I have 3 cars. The standard, with the humps and with the hardtop. All three are very different. In my opinion of course...Here are mine. They came from Vertex Auto (a sponsor of the board). My wife bought them for me as part of an xmas present. They are contracted to a company in Florida, can't remember their name though. I was really pleased with the fit. Customer service is tip top notch as always. I had em finished locally though. I believe in always doing business in my back yard if possible. Vertex charges $599.00 for them and I had them painted to match for $150.00.

I have factory humps on my Ocean Jade '99 and I love the look. Gives the car a whole new personality, I think. Since I never put the top up I leave them on all the time. Also really helps decrease the wind coupled with the stock blockers.

thanks for all the replies.. yeah the interior of my car looks out there when i see the pictures.. it looks really bright and neon looking but in fact it's much darker.. and looks really good with the black.. It's something I had to see when it was for sale.. and when i looked at in person i think it looked great.. i will have to try to get better pictures and post them.. the only ones i have are the dealership pics.

There is nothing wrong with a car that has some individuality to it.
There are soooo many black-on-black and grey-on-silver Boxsters out there that it is nice to see something else for a change.
