Since you live in California I wouldn't think you need it for adverse weather. Are you thinking about it for security? My '99 came with the hardtop standard and the only time in was on my car was the day I brought it home from the dealer and the day I sold it. It was on a rack on a wall in my garage for 7 years.

The soft tops on the 997's are excellent. They do an great job keeping weather and sound outside.

Plus it is a pain to take off and put back on. It is a two man job.

I agree. Although I've never had the hardtop, I can say this: We both live in CA! The quality of the softop is outstanding, keeps the wind noise out, etc, and IMO looks beter aesthetically. I saw a hardtop on a cab the other day, it is just very obvious it is a fabricated top plopped on top of a cab, does not create the lines of the regular hardtop S.. Just MHO, of course, I wouldn't bother with it
