Targa's let's show off!

Here's my new to me '03 Targa. https://rennlist.com/forums/attachme...d=185850&stc=1

A(n '03) targa with Twists? Color me confused! Winter wheels? Just like the look better? Hollow spokes? Nice car - if I had to do it over again, I'd love a targa!

Hi Jim. Came with the car and I like em (plus they're easy to clean ). Thanks for the compliments.

specs on the wheels? Turbo? offset? thanks!

Who's Jim? NP. I actually really like the Silver crest, too, while we're at it!

For someone who has only ever seen older Targas with their tops off, could you show me what a new style targa looks like when made as open as possible?

The glass roof just retracts under the rear window. So it doesn't lok any different except for teh large opening on top. BTW, one of my favorite things about the targa is the hatchback rear window. Nobody ever seems to mention that...

Oh, so that center piece doesn't pull completely out of the car?

Justinmm2, oops sorry didn't have my glasses on when I typed that last reply. Redridge: 18inch 225/40 front and 18 inch285/30 rear (p-zero's) Hamilton; very very nice ride Targa brother! Marlinspike, here's pics with the top open from the outside (sorry, best angle I have, I'll try for a better angle this weekend) also looking up through the targa when closed, and through the open hatchback (which I love as it makes getting the clubs to the course much easier).

hey does the targa makes more road noise?

No, it just slides under the rear glass. It is motorized like a sun roof.

I tried to put up my pics but I'm still too new I think. Post count error message.

"SUCK IT" i love it - great plate.

Ha! I didn't notice that the first time. How did that get past the DMV morailty police?

nice.

I just told them that it referred to fellatio. I got a blank stare and she processed the form.

That is AWESOME!!!

Here's mine...new 19 inch carrera s wheels in black arrive new week.....

trying again...

Anthink - the Targa looks GOOD in white! and I love your sport exhaust tips. Something I want to put on. As a teaser, my '02 Seal Gray Targa is getting detailed on Saturday. So let's keep this thread alive and I'll post pics, along with interior mods, when it's done.... Cheers Piccia

Holy crap that picture is huge! I pulled it from my Imageshack account that is shown for 'forums'. So what did I mess up here?

That pic makes me feel puney. Gotta edit it, all my pics were megasize too, had to edit em down. When you open the pic on your computer go to actual size to get an idea of what you have. Then look for resize to scale it down a bit. I'm not sure what editor you have but most will do those two things for you. If you're having trouble pm me and I'll see if we can work it out.

Here is mine. "Might" sell if fair offer is made.

Well I Geuss it is still mine, (remember I promised it to my son, this coming June) Here is one of my babies, 8 months an couonting for my 997 TT -

Once you go TARGA you never go back

The irritating thing that I get when people will talk to me about the car is, "is that a convertible or sunroof?" Um, neither....it's a Targa top. "...a whaaat?"

yo TD that's a killer interior u got there

Thanks. Some love it (I think it breaks up the sea of black rather nicely) while some hate it. I will miss this car if it sells.

don't pay no mind to the haters OEM CF is choice

I am waiting for Porsche to come out with a Cabriolet version of the Targa!

Nice ride! How much of that interior did you modify yourself and where did you get the parts?

Very nice car! Menacing!

Here are a few shots of my targa..hope you enjoy. These are also the first pics since I had my new suspension installed. and couldn't help but post this one

MIke - the loweres stance on your car looks great!

thanks, Tim, it totally transforms the car.

Not to start a war or anything but do any of you 996 Targa owners actually like the 964 and earlier Targas better- that is from a visual sense only?

no

No. I wouldn't own a pre 993 targa myself.

Some. All parts are OEM Porsche from Porsche dealers . . . My car was pretty loaded from the factory.

Do I like em better, no. But I really do like em a lot!

cute bulldog

Here's my new 2003!

Nice, black is such a cool color.

Hi guys I can see that there are some targa with lower suspension Porsche Dealers don't offer M030 RoW as an optional. They say it will appear noises, rattles because of the heavier suspension. What suspension kit have you get installed?

Pss9s for me. It is plenty soft.

Since the Targa population is here in this thread, I want to jack the thread long enough to get an answer to a question. The area of the roof forward of the glass top is made of what??? The thin strip. Mine came to me scratched and even though it looks like glass, I don't think that it is and want to correct the damage. Before attempting to buff the scratches out I would like to know what the material is. My toy is a 2003 model.
