Now I have seen everything. I will say though that they work as intended and I installed a set yesterday at the dealer when picking up my car....highly recommended, in the color of your choice of course.

Have you made a thread with pics of your car? I don't know about others but I've been waiting to finally see your long awaited targa. Congrats on finally getting your car.

Post some pics!
Hey. I have not but there are a couple in this thread when it was undergoing PDI, starting at post 4268. There is another thread, New Member of the Targa Family", that I will post some pics when I get it back from the detailer in a couple weeks...heading out on a cruise to Cuba Sunday for the Thanksgiving:
The car looks and drives sweet (200 miles of all back roads on the way home) and when I get it back from the detailer I will be getting the Soul cats installed...a bit too quiet for me.
I know that no one will ever see them once the license plate is on, but you'll always know. So... I present you with Print-to-Sample (PTS) mounts. ABS printing filament comes in dozens of colors.
Color choices are fairly endless, but here's a sampling...
Impressive but I wish I knew to wait a week for these. Just received the black ones the other day. And I gave a yellow T coming in a few weeks.
Yeah, I had a big run on these things last weekend and was worried I'd run out of black plastic. Then I noticed all the colored plastic sitting around and the light bulb went off! I wasn't holding out on you I promise. Just sent you a PM to get you yellow ones.
Got it. Thanks Tom for making it easy! And making these cool things.
Thanks a lot Tom. I’ll check the Lulzbot out. Hopefully they’ll run a promo for Black Friday!!

They also make a cheaper Lulzbot mini that is similar and just has a smaller print size capacity. My first printer was a Velleman K8200, which is under $500 but also open source and hackable. You have to assemble that one yourself, which is a fairly involved process, but a really good way to learn about 3D printers. Before the Lulzbot, I had a Makerbot Replicator 5, which is was more of a "consumer" printer for those who want something easy, but not one I'd recommend for a host of reasons.
Fresh set of yellow mounts will go out in tomorrow's mail. With the red 3M tape, they kind of have a McDonald's vibe... When you get them, please post some shots of them on the car. I'm curious how close the colors match up
Unfortunately, the dealer had previously attached two screws along with their dealership frame on the back, so there are scratches already from the frame. I only noticed this after finally getting my plates from the DMV and removing the dealership frame. If you look closely, you can see the scratches. After seeing this thread, I decided to order these for my rear plate. The yellow color doesn't quite match the racing yellow, but it's fine bc the main purpose is to prevent further scratches from the license plate itself. And Tom got these to me in 2 days. Thanks, Tom.
