Uh, where on the car? Can you pshop my pic?

Bro

 

Kirk, bro et al,

I bought a demo top in back based on 'Bro's pics of his car with the silver body and black top...my car is white and instead of spending several more grand to paint the top white, I threw a carbon hood on it and am going that route -- thus far, I am thinking it will have a TechArt look.

I like the two tone look....somewhat original.

btw guys, I got the parts for the top after all.

Rob

 

Is it me or does that car just flat out look weird?

 

 

1. The cab is quieter than a 996TT.
2. The cab is quieter than my soft top.
3. The cab is cooler than my soft top.
4. The cab is as cool as any 993/996/997/Cayman.
5. The rear trunk dumps just as much heat with the soft top as the hard top.
6. The hard top on a Cayman can't come off.

When you actually know anything about what you are posting about, come back and play. Otherwise, STFU.

Wow, I can't help but feel the first porsche drivers/owners may have fielded such damning criticisms as well....oddly shaped little tub, rear engined car....and then we have the boxster in general, which is widely considered "the panty porsche" by those not knowing any better....

I feel that Bro was simply asking for help on a color scheme, not a decision of whether to keep the top or not -- and by the way, I just got one and have received far more thumbs up with the top on than driving my boxster a la carte...in fact, I get more praise for it than my 930 or my 911sc...

I guess what I am saying is, we all face enough criticism in this world, as Boxster owners and as regular people to not have to go searching for it...

the guy likes his top...you may like those headlight cover things I hate, someone else may like a regular Boxster hardtop, whi9ch is Miate-like to me -- but it is all opinion....


Bro, keep searching for the color solution and may the naysayers find an extra 6k to keep them busy enough with their own car they need not criticize yours...


thanks for the platform...now off to work

 

I know color matching is getting beat to death, but I agree. Also with the tint and the wheels, but I know how the track thing goes

 

I'm sorry for the negativaty. I guess I have very strong feelings towards my own car and the fact that nothing can live up to it. So we didn't need the "STFU" comment!!

And I do know what I am talking about bro!!! I am a bit of a car enthusiast myself!!

Regards,
Pete

 

............You did say " " Any Imput. " " So I just was givin my $0.02.

 

It's all in the delivery.

We're golden,

Bro,

Just fyi, I had a gent here in Boca with a GT3 stop me last week (I see him time and again in passing at a gas station). He wanted to know whether my Boxster with the zeintop was a techArt Cayman..Currently, I have the black roof/deck/carbon hood and carbon mirrors and the Techart turbo side ducts...he was thoroughly shocked/confused but albeit impressed. Never before would I have thought a man with the ultimate modern 911 (in my opinion) would stop to give me a nod...it felt good. and in short, I owe it to you as I saw your car awhile ago and took the leap based on it....keep the faith.

Rob,

Thanks for the props. Now let's see some pics!

Bro,
My vote is Arctic Silver too.

I'm assuming that you went with this hardtop in Southern California because you needed a hardtop for the track?

The reason I'm asking is because I thought where you lived was the drop-top mecca of the US.

Dave

 

Actually, I did get it for the track, but not because it was required. I wanted a little scratch and scrape protection in case of a rollover. Also, I drive to NorCal often and it rains and gets cold up there.

Bro

 

Bro,

Paint the top and hood to match the body.

I like the look - cool top.

Cheers,
Rich
