exactly because i'm not a flipper..i'm #1 a porsche enthusiast, #2 a dealer, not a flipper. So these cars i deal in them with "emotion" involved..so i'd want to make the car look good and how i myself would want it or would presume another Porschephile would want it.

The 80s targa wide body are super rear and look great!
Have a look at the singer targa, say no more !!!!!!!!
Just my thoughts as i love the wide body look

I get what you are saying, and perhaps my terminology was wrong, and I should have said "dealer".
Where is your dealership, do you have a website?
Porsche enthusiasts can have vastly differing tastes, a fact I'm sure you already know. Could you really cut off the flairs, weld on new rear fenders, find good used fenders, and then paint the car; for a profit??

now to my silly question- The owner isn't even sure if the car is C2 or C4..yes strange but its a true story lol.
Only way i'm guessing its a C4 is by this diagram i see in the background of the guages of an AWD system, i only see it when dash light brightness turned all way up..however the guages have a white background, so not sure if these are even the stock guages..
No ***** but looks like there was only 1 ****, they replaced it with a porsche decal i guess since there is no spoiler that goes up and down- therefore this is a C2 isn't it??
How do i confirm this is a C2 or C4? i assume id' have to get under and find a diff?

Three Wheelin'
Hit the corners full tilt and if you feel understeer it's a C4. Console looks like a C2 btw.

lol..i'll try that. I suspect its a C2 because when i saw the dash background i told the owner i think its C4 and he said he had never known that..but again the white guage cluster maybe a mod they did on the car and happens to have that diagram in it.

Looks to be a C2 pull the front wheels and see if there are drive shafts if not it is a C2. The gauges are all the same whether they light up or not depends on what they are.

Looks to be a C2 from your last pic of the console, the PO simply removed the **** and covered it with the decal when he put the awful looking wing on it. Gauge faces are definitely not original.
Correction about the wheels... Ditch them in favor of new ones with some dish if you plan on keeping the car, it would look 100% better. OTOH if your plan is to put it up for sale, just keep them (perhaps a cheap repaint in silver or black) and add spacers/studs. Chances are that if you buy a new set of wheels, they won't be to the new owner liking, so why bother.

Also noticed the window tint kills the contrast between targa top and car, so i'm taking off that dark window tint

Far from perfect but anything is better than the wheels on the car. Just for an idea and others come up all the time.

Depending on how your suspension is setup you might be able to use any of these and there are others.
