I think Melissa Witek allowed him to go with a Lava Orange Targa bar as her "on the way out the door FU" to Porsche Exclusive, and Torque is a little embarrassed to show it to us.

No, she did that on my car... Nothing like having racing yellow stitching, pulls, belts, etc, but then she adds Speed Yellow mats because Racing yellow mats aren't available??? Luckily, it was just the mats... Could have been worse. I've heard some good stories....

Love the conspiratorial turn in this thread. Contrary to rumor, the car *is* a targa and the bar is silver (to match the exterior CXX options). Pictorial proof is inbound, I promise.

People at ED were certainly confused about a 'new' 2016 model. In fact, I drove to the museum today to grab some pics, with Junior riding in the back, and both Porsche employees and tourists alike were snapping pics. This in a town chock full of Carreras. Quite the compliment.

Neurotic, I begged and begged for that option. It transforms the CL wheels completely. They are factory painted in GT Silver.

Great looking car. Deja view to a month ago when we visited our '16 991 GT3RS in Exclusive and then rented a '17 Targa 4S for our Euro road trip. 2k km's and what a trip.

Yes - we went from Stuttgart to Berlin for a few days, then Dresden and then Prague, then Vienna then Munich and then dropped the car off to Stuttgart...then train to Paris and then home. Two or three days in each place. Was incredible. My wife thought it was our best trip ever, and we have taken some great ones. I was happy that she thought that, as I have another one brewing for next summer! Enjoy and have a blast. These memories are what life is all about.

Your car looks great in sapphire blue. Love how the wheels and GTS badge match the targa bar. Congrats!

Those would be perfect for me since I have a GT Silver GTS. If you ever decide to sell them, please PM me first! I'd love to take them off your hands!
