Top was apparently run over by a semi, as pretty much every piece was broken.

Luckily, insurance covers the replacement cost, and the adjuster cut me a check today for a refurbished top from Dan at Carsincnj.com. Here is my dog Daisy's reaction:

LOVE the stance of this Targa... Whats the best way to get this look?
