I agree with most listers here... Price would have to be VERY good!

If I remember correct with this hardtop the trunklid is removed. To me the top is beautiful on our cars but not having the ability to just pop it on and off is a negative.

If they drop the price to $800 I'm in, but unless it is that low (and I think others will agree) I am happy with my factory top. It can be removed anywhere at any time in about 5 minutes.
Hell, I removed it at my roadtrip destination in Lake Tahoe, and drove around the lake, then put in back on for the ride back home (8 hours).

If you want a Cayman, which this top will make your car look like permanently. For 5K more than a new Boxster and this top, you can just buy a Cayman. Plus, I think the zientops only fit the 987.

Just my $0.02.

The Zeintop fits the 986, look at the pictures, it's pictured on a 986.

I will be ordering one around the first of next year.

email sent -- I'm interested to know more.

I am concerned (like most) about the cost of the top. I think I am more realistic than some about what the final cost will be. I have some questions about the design/engineering of the product. Does any member own this hardtop?

Some questions:
- How quiet is it?
- Rattles?
- Wind-noise?
- How is visibility? Any blind spots? Is it better or worse than having the rag-top up?
- Does the slope of the rear window require a wiper when it rains?
- How effective is the defroster on the rear window?

And, by far, my biggest concern:
- Does the design of the top potentially expose the exterior paint to damage? Either by poor fit -- OR -- by tempting the owner to try to "use" the interior space created by the hatchback.

I'd like some user feedback on the above prior to making the investment in this top.

I do appreciate Chris' efforts to organize this.

Also, what is the timeframe for a decision/feedback?
