I haven't really got any other pics of interest, this is a slightly different angle.

It is much quieter than the softtop, I have a noisy exhaust and could hardly hear it!

I think your new top looks fantastic. Its amazing how it changes the entire look of the car... Really nice job on alignment too.

I'd sure be in for one but its just too pricey for me. Should the price drop by half, I'd go for one.

To be honest it really is a quality piece of kit, immaculately made and I can see why they are so expensive, however I was in the same boat in that there was no way I could have afforded to pay full price for it.

I was lucky enough to have asked for a quote in June but didn't take up the offer (20%) at the time. They then revised their website and offered the first 5 people 35% off, and the rest is history as they say! I paid up and 4 months later it finally arrived. Although it's been a long, sometimes painful, time, I must say it has been worth it.

The best advice I can give someone that's interested in buying one, is to speak to Zeintec and dont be afraid to haggle on the price. In the current financial climate you may very well end up getting a good deal!

A few updated pics. Decided to fit the wing, but not a fan of it I must say, as I think it spoils the lines of the boot, so off it comes and onto ebay!

I'm saving those pics on my computer for reference later.

Did the top come painted or did you get it painted after?

Do you have M030 suspension on the car? And are those 18" BBS wheels?

I like your seats.

are those a Porsche option, or did you have them custom made?
What is the center section?

All RoW cars are lower than North American cars by 20mm in the front and 10mm in back. So whether Chippy's got the M030 or the standard suspension, it's lower than what we get here.

Congratulations on your new top. I just also installed my Zeintop on my Seal Gray Boxster S just in time for winter usage. I haven't taken any photos yet so stay tune. I had such a difficult time installing the top but with much effort I managed to installed the top. The passenger side spin lock you're having trouble could be fix if you take the rubber out of the latch and just shave off a little bit in order the latch locked into the spin lock. I have to do this to both side because the latch would not locked in. I also install some rubber seal to the hatch back side so that it is air tight to the car when you closed the top down. I also wedge some rubber seal to the side underneath the side window because I don't like the gap that is there. All and all, I really like the Zeintop and it really transformed the car. The car is quieter than soft top but not by much. I will be rigging a pulley system so that I could just hoist the entire top to the garage ceiling for summer storage. I think the future installation would be much easier and quicker than the initial first time. It took me total of 6 hours with another person helping me. Anyone in Calgary would like to see this Zeintop, feel free to contact me at DH930@shaw.ca and I would be glad showing it to you.
