GOOD SOLUTION indeed! Quite obviously a well engineered system to get cool temp event in 90 degree heat, even in a soft-window Targa at that!

INDEED - Boxster Spyder12: a’la GT1, cut off the rear behind seats, elongate the driver’s compartment a bit while at it, install a firewall and attach the whole rear end to it, with engine, gear box and revised suspension. Then get together with a friendly Professor at the Pasadena Art College and have a class of his…

You are absoluetly right. It was his precise vision how he wanted it to look. As long as he is 100% satisfied with the outcome, that’s all what counts. Glad you also appreciate what went into it.
