gtmotorsports humps... - 986 Forum - The Community for Porsche Boxster & Cayman Owners

Hey, if anyone owns Genuine Factory Humps from Porsche and has used them, please respond to this thread...

How is the fit? Do they marr the paint on the clamshell? And importantly, can you raise your windows and ope and close your doors with the windows up without bumping into the sides of them?

Another forum member called me today to tell me his set from gtmotorsports.com are not good quality and he can't roll up his windows with them on, plus the fit isn't that great.

I also have a pair I was about to get painted and didn't roll up the windows, but I am going to do that before I get them painted.

Hi Randall ! I have the humps, but have only used them once. Fit is excellent, they do not marr the paint on the clamshell, and I can raise the windows and open and close the doors ( windows up ) without hitting them.

They attach to the roll bars with L shaped hooks ( not velcro ), so the windscreen does not have to be removed to install the humps. The only problem I had is they also attach to the two spots where the hard top would attach, and I scratched my car with the part that inserts into these holes

In short, there are three contact points for each of the two speed humps, one at the rollbar, one on the clamshell, and one where the hardtop would attach.

Hope this helps...

Nick

Thanks, Nick. I think I'm going to return these then and find some factory humps in black that no one wants or uses any longer.

OK everyone, GTMotorsports asked me to send back both sets of humps they shipped me. Both sets were not in "paint ready" condition, were a very tight fit, and I could not roll up my windows while using them. Back they go.

I'm guessing the lesson in all this is you get what you pay for... they were being sold for $345 or something like that and I should have guessed that it was just too cheap compared to all the other places selling aftermarket humps.

However, $350 is about all these humps are worth as they are simply for looks!
