Also retired, also rainy, also bored and also in IN. I just built a Keurig rack for my wife...and to think I could have been working on my Boxster. Sigh....

Saddest part is I'm not even much of a coffee drinker. Oh well, there's always tomorrow...

The instructions are just awful and I starting to realize this is going to be a B to get done. If I can get it done ��

it's a one-off - OEM speedster humps bonded to OEM clamshell. if you want just the humps, a search on ebay produces quite a few:

https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2380057.m570.l1313.TR0.TRC0.H0.Xboxster+s peedster+humps.TRS0&_nkw=boxster+speedster+humps&_sacat=0

if you want a complete rear deck assembly this is your only option:

https://www.ebay.com/itm/PORSCHE-BOXSTER-986-TO-987-SPYDER-CONVERSION-FIBERGLASS-NEW-TRS-MOTORSPORT/161048725804?hash=item257f40892c:g:GtoAAMXQDK1RwHG D&vxp=mtr

sorry for the hijack.

well, here is a quick pic. so, looks good, but notice that it doesn’t quite fit? because ebay vendor sent me a 987 clamshell instead of a 986 clamshell and i didn’t check fitment before bonding the speedster humps to it. back to the drawing board. this was just a test run before i went full fiberglass, so i think this is good enough for proof of concept and i am going to order a fiberglass clamshell from getty or rennspeed and bond my humps straight to that.
