I have a beautiful 1976 Targa in Talbot Yellow Im desiding on cloning this green car by simply adding the Carrera door decals, chin spoiler, blacked out Fuchs and "duck" style 73/74 Carrera trunk. I figure I can easily convert back to original if needed. Any thoughts?

i thin it is a great idea .. it is a relaly nice car either way but the decals will really make it pop and the duck always looks good.

I want to do the same thing to my 77 but I'm not sure I will be happy with the results unless I add rear flares.

The '74 w flares, duck tail, Carrera graphic and blacked out Fuchs has always been my favorite 911 aesthetically. I remember lusting after one when I was 12 like it was Christie Brinkley.

I'm putting SC quarters on my 74, with a ducktail, 15" black fuchs, and Carrera script.

Forgot to say, mine is yellow-green and getting a fresh coat of paint in the next month (once quarters are on). That pic, although a targa, has been an inspiration.
