I have seen aftermarket speedster type covers for Boxsters but not a 964
Found this on Ebay have no idea who sells it or quality. Its not very practical since the top has to come off to use it.

speedster tops are smaller (and manually operated) so fbireglass speedster cover will not fit over 964 cab top...
cab can be converted to speedster-but expensive and involved:

Please clarify whether you're after fiberglass clamshell, or possibly a tonneau convertible cover, like these Speedsters have...

if not after the tonneau top, here's another hyperlink for an aftermarket fiberglass Speedster clamshell hump:

Hey G, I'm just here to make you -- & everyone on RL -- look better, or maybe more normal.

Besides, wasn't the 'net invented just to help find Porsche pix?

It's all in the name of thinking I might be able to answer fellow RLers' questions ... 'specially about Speedsters! Gives me an excuse: researching for the benefit of, uhm, mankind. Yeh.

P.S. RLer Obersturm helped provide some of the above images. Of course, my intent's to thank him, not implicate him in my crimes.

That is a beautiful car. Be sure to share a few photos of it. You should know by now how much we like to see photos of the 964 in all of its variations.
