Default Turbolook wheels?

Previous owner put on the T-Tail, chin spoiler and 205 / 225 16" new pole positions, to go w/ the look. Are the wheels the T-Look wheels as well?

Those are the classic Fuchs forged wheels available on tubo and non-tubo cars but in different widths. I believe 16" were an option on non-turbo cars in '84. They were on my '87. They have been refinished to polished or chrome from the standard anodized.

Turbo look would be more appropriate for a car with the larger fenders/flares. Your Carrera's rear spoiler is the only thing that could be construed as turbo look and that was an option also on the standard Carreras. The wheels are indeed the correct pieces for the car they are bolted to.
I think that is a very nice looking Targa you have there, and I'm not a big fan of Turbo tails on standard Carreras. More pics if you have them.
Also, you may want to reconsider the short shifter...they're not all they're cracked up to be.

I'm not a huge fan of the K&N filters. I just (my own humble $0.02) think the paper filters work better - meaning they let in less dirt. The K&Ns do let out more noise, which is exciting, but in dusty conditions like summer time, I would stick with the factory filter.
