I bought a set of OEM Speedster humps a bit back and have yet to get them painted and put them on my car.

So if anyone is interested

I thought about them briefly for mine as well, but in the end I prefer the look without. Plus the PITA factor weighs heavily when a sudden rain begins.

Like the look, but again, the PITA factor...My top goes up and down too much.

I like mine. Lots of compliments. If I had to drive it every day...........I'd probably not have them on as much....but here in Florida, Nov-Feb..............Sunny every day.

Maybe on a speedster from the factory but as an aftermarket add-on... uh, no.

I like mine too. But they're rubbing off the rubberized paint at the base of the clamshell where it meets the top material.

No story - just a funny photoshop job by a buddy of mine.

Wait... you didn't think that was real, did you?

Well I went and laid them on. They don't look too bad on my car. They were aftermarket though and could use some work so they stayed with the owner. Sorry for the iphone pics.

Wow, not too much love for the humps. Before I bought mine, the first question I asked was, "can those ugly things be taken off???". But now that I've had the car a couple of years, they have grown on me. Yup, they're a PITA to take on and off, but mine stay on all the time (my Boxster is a summer fun car). And kind of a unique look. I have yet to see another Boxster with humps in my area. Mine are OEM, but they look just like the ones above. So one vote for yes. And I think those look good on your car.
