New Here
I bought my second Porsche (Well the First was a VW 356 speedster) about a month ago. 1977 911 "Grey Market" Targa. Black.
I have added Cup II rims, new rubber, whale tail and it is getting some new black paint as I type. My question is, and I am by no means a Porsche purist, so forgive me in advance. Has anyone painted the red "Porsche" thing in between the rear tailights the same color as the rest of the car? I am thinking it would look good the same color with a Targa emblem. Pictures, opinions? Mike Here are a few of my goodies (I build custom bikes)

If it is in good shape then keep it and havle some one fab a metal piece to fit in the same spot. The reflector costs $200+ and I bet you could sell it here...

MikeSAV911 - nice toys! You build to customer requests or do you fab according to your own ideas? Ifthese are 100% you, you are some chops ! Three very disticnt styles - a 40's, 50's and 60's style. That car is sweet as well but where is the Targa?

LubeMaster, I build them all how I want/invision and then sell them (or keep 'em) to whoever digs the style.
Anyone have any pics of a painted one? Just curious how it would look. Oh yeah, I wont post a pic of the Targa until it is done. ThX! |

some pic with some chick draped on the car does score extra points...
biker chicks are also ok, doesn't really matter what they are draped on , car or bike, it's the chicks we're after.

Welcome - I've only been a Pelicaner (and P-car owner) a little over 2 weeks but these guys have taught me hundreds of things and made it fun along the way -- ask anything they can handle it easily!

The Targa bar on my 77 is painted white - not sure why but I will keep it that way.

Mike,
Please don't paint the Porsche emblem if it is an original. Find/fabricate a piece to fit in there (there should be some broken ones lying around) and sell the one you have to someone who was rear-ended. You should make money going this route. Oh, nice bikes!!
