To keep it simple you have to:

Remove the speedster humps
Install spinocks on each side
Then buy a hardtop
I paid $900 and I was lucky enough that was the same color. If you have a weird (rare) color then you will have to pay to get it painted (about $300) Most people want $2000 for a used top but they normally sell for $800-$1400.

I got a hardtop and trust me it the best thing you can but for the boxster. you can remove it for fun trips on curvy roads in about 5min. and put it back on for the day to day freeway commute. The noise differeence between the softtop and hardtop is amazing!

I emailed them a few months back and they said they will not have anything till after xmas. They did have one leftover top for sale that had no carpet, no glass, no paint, no wiring, and you had to pay shipping still. It was 800 dollars. I said they are nuts.. By the time you buy from them and paint, you will end up being higher than a used OEM top that is going to fit better.

I'm going to splurge around Christmas time and buy a Zeintop. I just can't get over the looks of it vs. the stock top. It'd kind of be like having two different cars.
