Thanks for everyones input on the top. I received new and improved instructions from Zeintec as well and the top is now insulated and the wind noise is significantly reduced from before. Bring on the rain!

If I decide to drive my Boxster all year, I'll definitely get a Zeintop for the 6 months of grey weather and rain. For now, I've made my old diesel ForTwo my winter car while the Boxster naps.
Sigh.

Why buy a roadster and then put a hard top on?
If it could be removed in 5 min. or less maybe, but otherwise I don't see the point.

The Zeintop looks good but if you want a Cayman, buy one.

...because you get a Boxster AND a Cayman if you're willing to deal with the on/off time.

(Unless you're bankrolling the "If you want one, buy one" approach, in which case, yes, I'd love a Cayman. PM me for my mailing address you can send the money order to. )

One of the main reasons why I got the zeintop is because I am just not a fan of the boxster look with the soft top up. I love the look with the top down. This way I have the ability to take the box out during the summer top down all the time and then have a sleek coupe during the winter, which here in Washington is from October to June. Two cars in one. Different strokes for different folks, but it makes sense for me. I will post some more pics in the next week as soon as I get a day off.

Here are a couple more pictures. These pics include my latest additions(H & R springs, spacers) along with the Zeintop.
