Even finding a used one is very difficult. If I was going to put a lid on my Boxster, that would be the one.
Oh really? You think they're out of business too? Hmmm... Alright. I emailed them anyways looking for a price :P

They are great looking though.

The original Zeintech co. (based out of south africa) went out of business a couple years ago (3?) amidst some scandal -the scandal being they became bankrupt and they took orders from customers and payment in full from some customers then they split and never delivered the product.
This was unfortunate because they did at one time managed to churn out at least a couple dozen of these tops. There were some quality issue but all and all they were very good in terms of customer service, the only hard part being getting the tops through customs (import fee/customs agent and all).
The founder of the facebook page z-art Im told was the original creator of the zeintops and he said he had no part in the downfall of the Zeintech company or their questionable dealings towards the end. He implies he has the molds for the tops in his custody so he can start up making them again as soon as enough orders are placed. He says about 20 orders and payment must be made before he will start producing one (I guess because it takes labor/materials etc) feel free to contact him for clarifications. I'm interested in his bumpers that convert the 986 front to a 987 front cause I like the 987II headlights

The tops I been told is still near $2000 or so unpainted and minus shipping fee.

Damn! If i can get one for $2000! Wow! Used stock hardtops here cost almost that. And I'm willing to lose the small amount of comfort for extra appeal :P Go cayman tops!

I did email him but have not received a conformation yet

I just e-mailed the guy and told him there's a huge market for his product with the introduction and popularity of the Cayman. A simple transformation and you can basically own a new car.

I asked him to post on this forum a question weather we would be interested...I'd like to see the response.
