WOW.
I’ve never seen a hard top integrate so well into the body lines.
Black one, especially. Looks identical to a Cayman.

Anyone know what that is about ?

Usually, they look horrible like this

Somehow that one makes me want to build a 986 pickup truck.

I haven’t been on Craigslist in some time and wondered if anyone can recommend a Craigslist multi city or state search app or site.

When I bought my booster 10 years ago I found it in South Carolina and used ‘crazedlist’ to search all cities in all states on the trip there and back. I was able to find rims which I still have and some other parts on the way home.

I’m making a trip to South Carolina on the weekend and would love to locate parts for my boxster and a4

Thanks in advance

I like 'Searchtempest'

This one was passed on to me and looks like it has potential:
https://tippecanoe.craigslist.org/cto/d/denver-for-sale-97-porsche-boxster/6827295954.html

A project car '97 with under 90k miles for $2,500. It's too far away from me and I have 4 project cars in progress at the moment, so for not me.

Sometimes it's a small world. This car sits at the other end of the building I have my shop in.

The good part - I got the hard top from the car, a brand new convertible top and the mesh inserts from both seats. :D

An old friend pops back up
 
Was looking thru Denver CL and ran across this ad:
https://denver.craigslist.org/ctd/d/lafayette-2006-porsche-987-cayman-6/6832514139.html

She looked familiar but I didn't remember the sport seats. Did some records checking and sure enough, this is the 06 CS I helped a friend sell 1.5 yrs ago.

Update on my friend - he broke up w/ GF.

It's a small world, but I wouldn't want to paint it.

I could afford this, but no space. Fixer for $2500

Ha! One of my favorite Steven Wright quotes. Well done.

Not today and not CL but I see this on eBay. I'm think China, too cheap so reproductions. Well I get them today and I'm puzzled. They.look real. Boxes, quality and part numbers. $23.80 free shipping 4 OEM caps? Am I missing something?

Thanks I'm thrilled. $6 a piece with free shipping, and nice?
Are they getting that good at counterfeiting?

Those do look great. It must be one and done, huh? I don't see where they have any more!:(

It stated only 1 available but alot say that.

Starter986 03-13-2019 03:56 PM

There's a guy in HB selling these right now on CL for $50 a set. A year or so ago I bought 3... 4 sets to match my wheels. I believe I paid $40 a set back then.

Came in boxes... packaging... look like the real deal. Clearly they're not. However, in my opinion... they're worth the price. Plastic.

A couple of weeks ago I was cleaning my wheels... noticed a little wear on the "newer" caps... turned out to be that protective film you're supposed to remove. Now they look even newer.

Good quality knockoffs. Good detail. Grab a few sets while you can. Don't scratch the paint on them...

robdelorenzo 03-14-2019 05:28 AM

Does spraying a clear coat over these help protect them? Does clear nail polish work? or at that price, should I just not worry about it? thanks -
