You'll need to contact Jeff for current pricing. I bought early, and then he offered a group buy deal, to get a wad of orders to take advantage of some volume on metal and labor on the machines. So, I don't know what price is in effect, or what I'm actually paying in the end. It is about $2400, give or take a couple of hundred. Stock finish is the least expensive.

I am partial to Fuchs. However, the BBS look on your avatar is not as out-of-place looking as it is on other 911. I feel a targa lends itself well to variations of wheels/tails. Those wheels are beautiful. I can't wait to see the final install pics! You kinda have a retro thing going on with the chrome/aluminum and RS tail. In the finest taste IMHO.

Thank you so much, she's made a good canvas for my vision. Here's what she looked like with Fuchs on before I made a brake change:

Nice Ed. I always liked the way a targa brings out the "beltline" from the headlights flanking reaward to the tail lights. It's a little more suddle in the coupes. The key(totally my opinion) is having the car properly lowered, and I appreciate a coupe w/out any wing, but a targa benefits from various types of tails. The "tea table" or Carrera tail brings out that beltline on a targa better than anything else. Totally my opinion but it is always a pleasure to see the many variations on these cars and come here and muse. It's like a Mr. Potato Head-you can plug and play with so many combinations.

Throw some handpainted center caps on that baby, and we may have a winner!
