Looks Great! Be sure to post more pics after it's lowered.
I really like the convertible top on the 987 much better that the one on the 986. The profile looks much, much better - like it has an extra rib to give it a more vertical rear window. Does anyone know if the 987 top could be retro-fitted to the 986?

Grizzly, I remember someone posting here that this can NOT be done becuase the 987 top does have an extra rib in the top, as you noted. FYI, I have as much, if not a little bit more, head-room in the Boxster than I do in my Ford Explorer.

Interesting info on the new PASM compatible springs. You'll have to be sure to let us know your impressions of them.
Have you been driving around the last while in constant "Sport" mode? I did at first, but then realized I'd be spending a fortune at the dentist getting my fillings replaced.

The springs and clear side markers are in. I know, i know, you guys need pictures, but I can't take them until this weekend, and I will post them on Monday. The car looks HAWT! It is not slammed like my 986, but it looks great. I now have about a 3/4" gap above both the front and rear tire, and it looks even on both the front and rear. In the normal mode, I actually think it rides smoother. That may not be the right statement, it rides less bouncy? In sport mode I can't tell much difference, it either the same, or a little stiffer. It rides nice, looks better, and I will post pics as soon as I clean the car and take some!

The 03's and 4's have the extra bow in there like the 987's. I don't see why it wouldn't work for Grizzly's 97 if it works on 03/04.
