Link is broken

I was planning on doing a Zeintop on my car... Planning is a light way of putting it. I noticed on Ebay that the top costs almost $10 000. If that's the case I might as well scrap my car and gut a Cayman to get the results I want.


Is this just a fluke or something?

If its not a fluke anybody want to sell their damaged or not wanted z-top; perhaps one that they couldn't complete? hehe

I’m in a sloooow process of getting my money back from that clown.
I also found out who his supplier is and talked to them. They are no longer ordering the tops from their Hong Kong manufacturer. So, as far as I’ve been able to find, no cayman-style tops available at present.

I don't know why they are suddenly $10000. on Ebay.The 986 top cost me $2600 including all parts except spinlocks and is was available at the Ohio dealer. Not sure why the link is broken but you might try calling them. They have active ebay auctions going on now for a factory second cheap.

I know I saw that... Sucks its for a 987. Too pricy for me to risk "making it fit"

I messaged him and he said he only had the one top, none for the 986.


Man, I finally get a 986 that I'm willing to do body work on and they stop making the top I want.


How often do these things come up used? I've never seen one used, but I haven't been really looking hard being that they are not too expensive new.

This guy: https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F18 2453537329

Who, it turns out, buys them from this guy (the seller you posted from your iPhone): https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F32 4050765947

Who told me on the phone that he’s getting out of importing the tops from Hong Kong and only has the damaged 987 top left in stock. After that’s gone, he’s done.

Sorry your having trouble.
I emailed the Ohio company and got a blow off response. I bought one several years ago, $2600 and never had a problem with the Ohio company. Weird.
Ive dealt with extreme before and never had a problem. He must of bought out their stock. Ad says he has 8 left.
Did you buy one and are wanting to return it?
