Thanks a lot - I am really happy with it! Think about those tail lights and you might see if you can look at them on a black 911. The red brakes pull the red in from the tail lights (and remember you'll have red interior bits, including the piping on the seatbelts). Last, even with the clear tail lights the lower set of rear markers is still red, which to me kind of ruins the effect. Check it out live if you can!

casaforte, nothing appreciable for turbulence that i sense. it's seems reasonable to me but again i've not owned a cab.
rzani - no other reason for not getting the pdcc than i didn't have it prior and don't know what i'm missing ;-) for what it's worth, the black with rhodium stitching really complements the silver bar well. i'm quite pleased with the color choices. the jet black metallic looks almost dark blue under clear texas skies, black with a little overcast. on the LED's, i have to say that LED ring light is pretty cool, and the light distribution in general is quite good. Happy i made that call.

However is there any truth to some reviews i've read about creaking noises from the top storage area over bumps or squeaking from the gasket & window glass?

I test drove two targas and didn't notice any squeaks or creaks either time when the top was up or down. But, I wasn't actively listening for it. It seems like some people actively look for noises like that and once they hear them it drives them nuts. As long as it isn't really loud it wouldn't bother me and there certainly weren't any obvious noises on my test drives. Of course, as the car ages that might change.

I have not heard any creaking or squeaking at all - turbulence as you would expect, but even at relatively high speeds it's more than acceptable.

Agree 100%. I've had my Targa 4s for 4 months and not a single squeak or creak. Build quality is exactly as expected from Porsche - excellent!

Hi Everyone.......First post.....Great looking car.......I am about to order a Targa GTS...Selling my 1989 930 Cab ....seems like an even trade to me...... I have had it since 1988, picked up european delivery...Just time to go with the more updated car.... Drove the new GTS TARGA and loved it......Spent many hours deciding on a color....But Matt Henry at Porsche Exclusive help me build a great car......It was between CWM or Carmine Red.......after switching a billion times....going with CM with CM GTS interior. One change I am doing is replacing the BLack GTS Wheels with the TURBO S wheels. Has anyone seen a TARGA with the Silver/Black Turbo S Wheels?????? I know this will be unique, but am still curious to see a photo. Also, was thinking of replacing the Alcantera front seats with Red seat inserts......But not sure on that. All great comments and photos on this sight...I hope to add my car soon! Should be here in October "ish".....Last summer picked up my Cayenne Diesel in Stuttgart......saw about a dozen 918 being put on trucks....so cool

However, the rear TurboS wheels on the GTS have an offset of 48. The rear TurboS wheels on the TurboS have an offset of 56.

I did read that somewhere ... But Porsche exclusive had included this option in my build so it must be ok... approved by Matt Henry as an CXX option code

Note that the wheels on the UAE car are silver rather than the silver/black that come on the TurboS model. Either way, they look great. Keep us posted Werks!

Maybe a bit of semantics? Porsche's descriptions of the standard wheels on the GTS and the Turbo S as the same - 20" 911 Turbo S Wheels. Of course, the standard finish is different on the two models.
