I found one out of Orange County, CA that was the right color and came with a stand, cover and the spin locks. Plus the guy was able to drive it out to Arizona. It wasn't cheap but it was cheaper then getting one that I had to have shipped and then painted to match. All in it was worth it. I love the look and use it during our hot summers. With the hardtop on the car garners a lot of unsolicited positive comments from strangers.

Your red on red looks classy! I have a seal grey that will go on my silver car. I don't plan on painting it. I'll post a pic when I receive the spinlocks.

Your car looks really nice with the hardtop and so does your garage!

Doh, of course - I still think all Boxsters should have left the factory with spinlocks though!

Well that's business. Why supply a 3 dollar part for the thousands that don't need it when you can sell it to the few that do for $100 a pop?
