"Speedster Humps" for a 996 Cab?

I have seen the humps for Boxsters and they are pretty pricey.

They they have humps for the 996 cab? If so...are they as expensive as the boxster ones? I think it looks kinda cool..but I have not seen alot of cars with this mod. Is it because it is too expensive? Too ugly/tacky?

What do you guys think of the "speedster" look on a cab?

I'm not a big fan... our 996 cabs look enough like boxers as it is. I wouldn't want to take it even further. Plus it looks as if it needs to be removed each time you want to put your top up. That kinda takes away from the smooth/fast push button top we're used to, especially when it rains!!!

Besides....were would you put your golf clubs???
