P.S. I think my opinion of Targa is changing. The yellow one from Vegas is great too. Jay, your car looks great, the one with the fuzzy focus aorund it, awesome photo. Love that color too.

Hi Dan. I own the coupe, not that beautiful targa, but someone here owns it. I saved it because it looks great and I was looking for wheel ideas myself. I'm in S. Whittier, La Mirada border.

I change the inset of the Fuchs every six months....white car....and match the side scripts. I alternate Carrera with the earlier PORSCHE....

Every four paint jobs.....I completely strip and polish....averages out to when I need new tires.

Costs (retail) 80 bucks for the side scripts, 10 bucks for the krylon rattle can.

The non car people at the office think I get a different car every time....I just nod and go about my bidness...

TomH, I'll drop you a PM. Your car is very nice. Just was a little taken aback by that Targa, whoa. Nice touches, the painted rear bumperettes, etc. Nice

911SCPilot - Very nice, thanks. What color is yourcar? That soft yellow is so period correct. I am really liking the Targa's all of a sudden. Any mod's done to your car?

[Joe Bob]

How about red?

I believe its Sierra Biege. The cars original color was that Metallic Brown. But, yes, the color on it now, and probably be repainted as, is the correct period color, even year if I remeber correctly. Targa's are beautiful cars. Sure, they dont have those sexy, and true 911 coupe lines, but she makes well up for it with her own lines.

No modes engine wise. Complete top engine build was done around 5000 miles ago.Ive updated quite a bit on the car, like all new hoses from fan to heat ex,blower hose and socket, new 16inch wheels, H4 upgrade, both L/R knee pads+ashtray pad,stereo,front hood shock's,knobs (dash), LED instrument lights, new dash. The back shelf/seats needs one of the seat backs fixed,seats are in new condition, carpet good, targa top in excellent condition,need to replace seals. So aside from a paint job, door tops/pockets, and the suspension upgrade i'm about to dive into, she`s as if she`s new. She's well taken care, and pampered like a queen, but gets driven the way she was born too.

I still want a coupe though, thats the next addition, down the road

Bob-

Those are 7s & 9s on your car with a spacer up front right? What size tire are you running front and rear?
