I really like that top....but I'm also partial the Cayman's looks. I'd be all over it for
$2500, but not $5000.

It is kinda cool to think that I could have a "Cayman" part of the year and a Boxster the other part.....hmmm...maybe 5k isnt too bad....NO NO NO....I will NOT
put any more money into this car!!!!!!!

That's kind of where I'm at, can't do 5K. Their original version did not have the side window and I liked it even more.

Stinks that you have to remove your trunk and top cover. That would eliminate the quick conversion back to original for the day.

I like the look and really want a hardtop but can't find one in my color or without shipping. I could buy a new one for less th any used ones I've seen by the time I add shipping and painting.

I have a factory hard top for my 2001 and absolutely loved it and used it a lot of the time, until I got my plastic window soft top replaced with a GAHH glass top and hooked up the defroster element. Now, the hard top never even goes on my car. I just keep it stored in the shipping box in the back yard, I'm sure one day it will come out again but not this winter as its almost over. I do enjoy having it when I go to the track on cold days though as its got better rear visibility then the GAHH top. On warm track days its much more fun just to drop the top.

Take care,

Mike

I think Zeintec top looks much better than both the standard top and the top above but I agree, (imo) it's just too pricy...

That's why I prefer the one sold at Stuttgart. It is not needed to remove the trunk and you can just remove it when you want your convertable top down. Unlike the other one, where it is more for people who want a perminate hard top. But I agree, the Zientop looks better.

I absolutely love that zientec top. $5k though is a lot of money, though. It also looks like a lot of work to put it on and take it off, not to mention the boot lid and top cover.

The top is the best looking one I've seen.
