Thanks for the tip!

Here's a pic of the Boxster being aligned.. It was way off line as I removed the suspension to install the lowering springs..
Still not perfectly aligned. Have to go back next saturday for fine tuning.

so you completely removed the soft top?
how much does the whole thing weigh? did you also remove all the motors and everything from it, or just the top itself?

Im guessing your car had the factory tonnoue option... I see studs on your dash and on the clamshell. If so, do you still use it.

answ

The tonneau was not factory installed. As far as I remember my father bought it afterwards (from Porsche) and had the reselling dealer here install it.
Have I used it lately....
Question is, have I ever used it.
I do have it nicely stowed away in its cover. I swear, I will use it one of these days. Should take a picture of it then! I'm still looking for a model.
Do like the fact that my dad bought the car with all these extras on it (like hardtop/sport package).

On the soft top. No, I only removed the top itself. I'd like to repair/reinstall it in the future. Perhaps go with the newer glassed top..
We'll see..

I'm actually considering an aftermarket bumper... $$$ (turbo style / e-bay).
