Yes, your right. That's where it's from. Don't have ANY after pictures of it. I spoke to Antonio, the manager of the shop and he said he liked the hard top design as much as me and will be making some more in the near future and they may become a regular sale item. Made from Fiberglass. He said he would e-mail me and keep me posted. I'm looking forward to an alternative hard top.

ding ding ding... I think I found it! :dance: Same flared fenders, same turbo-like air intakes, same wheels. The spoiler grew by a few feet, though.
Good luck runnin' from the cops now!

That looks like it! Man that spoiler/wing is anoying looking. Paint and body came out nice. I wonder why no rear quarter pannel window? Some type of track reason? Looks cool. I wish I had that top.

that looks like the one, but just bigger bench on the rear trunk.

that hardtop looks awesome, is it a hardtop, or completely molded into the body kinda coupe car?

It looks like it may be an early Zeintec prototype. The current version replaces the deck lid with a lift hatch, ala the Cayman:


Zeintec USA

Guess you guys did not read my post earlier. I talked to Antonio at Precision Porsche who made that hard top for a customer. It was a one off. But he plans on making more. I told him to e-mail me as soon as he has some made. I'm looking forward to it.

Is it me, or do the turbo side vents on the CHP car and the one that was being worked on... do they look like they were moved higher, (if that is the same car)? They look level with the door handles in the 'in shop' picture, and higher than the handles on the finished car.

I think the door handles look painted on honestly. I cant tell from the pictures, but they sure look fake.

Why race a boxster with a hardtop? otherwise just spend some more $$ for cayman or 911.

Boxster should be race topless just like the good old days.....are we wimps?

Hard tops are mandantory in BSR class racing. As you can tell from my screen name I agree with you. They even make me put the soft top up on solo/DE track days now.
