To slant or not to slant nose???
 

I have a 1987 911 Targa, my friend has a 1985 slantnose cabriolet, he has offered to exchange fenders with me, is it a fopa for me? am I doing a half a$$ed conversion? I do like the look of the slantnose with the flip up lights and at the same time I would be getting rid of the H5s. The slantoses Ive seen have had wide turbo style fenders, thanks

I like the slatnose look but not on a Targa nor a cab. Just my opinion.

fugetaboutit! but hey it's your choice man.

Don't do it, unless you really, REALLY love the slant nose look.

I don't care for the slant look. Hey, you asked!:p

oh yeah, GO Horns! Longhorns that is. ...watching the Rose bowl as I type this.

I personally would not do a Targa and I'd never do flatnose fenders on a car with Carrera flares. Besides you'll have turbo flares up front and not on the rear.

IMO, I think stock would be best.

Thanks Guys, all points well taken I think i now know why my wife dos'nt ask my opinion when she goes clothes shopping

Now now boys, dont argue. I happen to have a targa-slantnose and I really love it. You wont see another one coming at you. If you dont have wide flares on the rear of your car, dont do it. But, to each his own.

Post some pics strup! Maybe eveyone will convert! I wanna see it.

I may be an old fart but that looks pretty darn good. Nice color with the twists. Looks like you painted the targa bar to match the body. Got a pic from the side with the roof off? Targas always look best topless.

I do, but I cant seem to find it, and the wife's sleeping. Maybe tomorow.

kind of a dated look.

although strup has done a very nice job with it.

It's, just a matter of your taste. Personally I wouldn't do it unless you put the turbo flairs in the rear. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1136437543.jpg

This is a sweet looking car. Something looks missing from the guards red one though, part of the bumper maybe?

Yeah, I'm replacing the fiberglass spoiler with a factory 930 spoiler. The car is pretty low, so it should do better on driveways. I have the one I took off for sale, it looks just like the one from the maroon Porsche...no cracks, if any Nor Cal locals are interested, pick up only!

strupgolf.. gorgeous car.

I'm in the minority here but I like the slant nose exposed light.. muscle fender look on a carrera body car.

I love the slant nose i have one do it if you like it i get somany look with it people stop when its parked to look at it!http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1136443184.jpg
