Has anyone got experience of fitting and using a Boxster with speedster humps (benifits ? downside? etc ) Anyone got any decent pics of these fitted to a car? Thanks

I had them on an arctic silver with boxster red leather. Quite fiddly to put on but worth it if you can keep them on for weeks on end. My car was built to resemble the boxster concept car if you've ever seen it and although the speed humps were better on that, my car still looked great! (tear)

You have to be careful you don't damage the hood cover when putting them on, and where the edges meet the rubber of the front doors.

You get securing belts with them but I never used them in town, also I removed the rear deflectors and glass for a better look.

Don't have any pictures to show, but you can get a 1:43 scale boxster with the speed humps at any good model shop!

Yep Mitch thats them! I can't make my mind up whether I like them or not!! I do think the folded down hood looks a bit untidy and could do with a cover of some sort, not sure if the (expensive) humps are the answer.

I used to have them on my Boxster - they set the car off. They can be fitted and removed very quickly once you know how and do reduce the buffeting further.
When not in use they can be stored (in their bags) in the rear boot.

Sold mine on ebay - always a good seconf hand market for the.

If you have a hard top for your boxster, its the same fitting kit.

Go on ..buy some ... problem is you will want the rest of the aerokit then to go with it... as it really looks the part then.

OH! Silv,Silv,Silv,

I cannot believe you've just said that about the hood being untidy. It should actually sit in The Louvre it is so perfectly right.

I know it's a matter of personal taste but for me these humps just don't look right, if the Boxster was supposed to have the humps it would have been designed with them.

In addition they can't be practical, with the way the weather is at the moment it's great that I can have the roof down on my Boxster within 12 seconds of the sun coming out (if it ever does again). Just as importantly I can get it back up again as quickly.
