Default New Targa 4 GTS order!

Just pulled the trigger on a new Targa GTS! I'm generally a black/red/silver with black interior guy so this build is WAY out of my comfort zone, but I thought it was time to try something different. I went a little crazy checking boxes on this one too which is also out my norm...I generally prefer "strippers" and love the air cooled cars, but I thought I'd load this one up. Can't wait!

That is going to be great. Chalk is very subdued so the "flashy" interior will pull the whole thing together.

And hello from another SE PA enthusiast.

One thing on the build . . . did you consider painting the side skirts? I think the painted skirts make the car look lower and work especially well with the lighter paint colors. Just my .02.

Hey Avalon, yeah I did consider that but i had to stop somewhere! I agree, they look great though. You may spot the car on 7 mile island this summer!

Chalk targas are, of course, objectively superior to others. Love the PCCBs. Didn't want to spend the dollars, but I wish I had yellow calipers. I suppose I could always paint them, but then I'd be accused of wanting to pretend I actually HAD PCCBs. Congrats, you will love the way it looks and drives.

Congrats!! Great looking spec and good for you to find that allocation, they're getting harder and harder to get apparently. Looking forward to your delivery pics

Thanks for the kind comments! I sort of stumbled upon this allocation...was at the dealer for something else and one had just become available that morning so I jumped on it. I've always wanted a targa so can't wait!
