    Cayman hardtop for the Boxster

    Ouch, now they have put together a aftermarket hardtop so that the boxster can have the same roofline as the cayman.. not my favorite but thought I'd post it anyway

    Welcome to Rennteam. That hardtop looks totally awful.

    Thanks dreamcar!

    Registered here a while ago but have unfortunately not been that active. Bought my boxster 987 back in March this year and what a machine

    Now the baby is in the garage for the winter since I don't have winter-tires and now the winter has really arrived here in Sweden

    ...but I'll have to be here on the forum instead of driving... can't wait for the spring to arrive

    Re: Cayman hardtop for the Boxster

    Looks exactly like the Cayman IMO.
    Clever idea, but hard to tell if it will work IRL.
    Buy one BEFORE i become an agent.
    Price for Britain will increase by 240%

    Re: Cayman hardtop for the Boxster

    On 986forum someone got information from the manufacturer that stated that it'd be all carbon-fiber with glass and a defroster, but that you'd have to remove your rear hatch to install it. Not so convenient.

    To me, I don't see why you'd want to make your car look like a Cayman, but still be slower than one. *shrug*

    Our winters aren't as harsh as yours, but my car (also born in March) is also now hibernating, waiting for the spring, with a life support machine in the form of Porsche's chargeomat.

    Re: Cayman hardtop for the Boxster

    I'm still waiting for my baby's winter life support...winters in NY suck....hopefully we'll be lucky this year and get no snow

    Re: Cayman hardtop for the Boxster

    Try winters in Canada That's ok though; I'm going to drive the car as I've put on winter tires but I won't drive it on the heavy snow days. A porsche is meant to be driven

    Re: Cayman hardtop for the Boxster

    What will they think of next....
    I'm just waiting for a tuner to chop the roof off the Cayman

    You know its only a question of when one of them will do that, or turn it into a Caymna Targa.

    Re: Cayman hardtop for the Boxster

    The Zeintec hardtop was on display in Essen, anyone here got any pics?

    heres some pics if you scroll down. hope this helps.. i like it

    Re: Cayman hardtop for the Boxster

    I was in contact with them and it won't be available in the States until "Q3 2006".

    Additionally, it is commanding a whopping price tag of $6900 (much more than the Tequipment hardtop).

    I'm not getting it.

    Looks like a Boxster after a botched transplantation IMO

    The ridiculous price tag indicates that some after market suppliers are trying to outperform Porsche in the marketing department

    Re: Cayman hardtop for the Boxster

    Rear quarter window is so far removed from the Cayman the hard top might as well be from a Trabant

    LoL Good one So we might add a new model to the Porsche line-up, the TRABSTER

    Re: Cayman hardtop for the Boxster

    They are working on a new version with somewhat smaller rear windows. Is it really so ugly as Percymon thinks??

    Re: Cayman hardtop for the Boxster

    IMO, i fink it looks kidna nice

    for canandian winter, i fink it's an ok investment~
    wonder how much it cost ~.~

    Re: Cayman hardtop for the Boxster

    This is the answer I got from Zeintec!
    "The product will only be available for delivery approx. 3rd Qtr 2006 Reliable and well established dealers will be selected in the target regions to act as Zeintec distributors. Fitment of the Zeintop is not an "Agents Only" exercise but can be fitted by owners. The removal and fitment is a two person job and your Boxster's boot lid needs removal. Targeted, A-priority territories are USA, UK/Ire and Europe. Sales to other parts of the world is certainly also supported but Zeintec will not have the same presence in these territories. Cost is as yet unconfirmed but targeted retail prices are set at USD4900 with shipping costs excluded. Colour matching: Zeintec follow the coded and dated paint matching process now popular with upmarket coachwork operators, thus, matching the colour of your 3-4 year old Boxster is simplified.

    Target Mass for the Zeintop will be less than 30kg (66lbs)

    Zeintec will start taking orders from 10 December 2005."
