Sorry, I don't like it. That thing fits over a targa and a cab?
Cheers, Paul.

I like it. How hard is it to get on and off? And how much noise? And what about the targa/cab question?

Here is the Link
There is a down side. How hard to install and uninstall is a concern. However I have to hand it to thr guys that thought it out. It certainly is a different look! Dave.

I don not like the huge b pillar. Total lack of visibility. IMO

Major job to remove the soft top on a cab or remove the targa bar and rear glass on a targa so this is not an on and off again conversion like for for a 996 or a Boxster. I also don't like the huge b-pillar, they should have put a window in there so it more closely resembled a coupe.

I'm with Poohsan, I bought a Targa because I like they way they look. If I wanted a coupe, I'd have bought a coupe. I'm willing to deal with the Targa issues.

The hardtop is okay. The car is ugly.

The B pillar and the rear window really look off. Way off.
Thom's top is much better looking.

I take it with the factory option you needed to remove the cab top also?

As far as the tops themselves go, very hard to find and expensive is what I heard.
