yeah. Sport design. I was honestly surprised at the cost vs how subtle it is.

But im super happy I have it. The pain of the cost is gone. And I love the look. Subtle and classy but certainly adds to the lines.

I imagine you will will be super happy you got it. I look forward to your pics when it arrives.

Many thanks for the complements. The concept of the car was a unique, discrete, daily driver. A special nod here goes Evio whose car we carefully studied. The challenge with LTS is the base porsche plastic parts all are black in LTS cars. Thus, the problem is to fill all the black voids which requires a lot of CXX work. Fortunately, Sascha at Beverly Hills Porsche has deep relationships with Porsche Exclusive and we were able to do a number of first or near first build features. It was also helpful that Porsche Exclusive was excited to do the Ascot Brown from CGT with Irish Green. It added 6 months for Porsche to resource and qualify the Ascot since they never made very much of it. For the CXX work we had both a build sheet for the commonly requested items and an excel spreadsheet for the more unique features which we would iterate back-and-forth with Porsche Exclusive to track the pending and approved items. Some of the more unique items of the car were:

1. Deviated LTS for the targa frame;
2. The deviated LTS, color blocked steering wheel inspired again from the CGT with an irish green sport dial;
3. LTS on the front transmission tunnel
4. The window triangle with the LCA signals in LTS
5. LTS in the space between the of the dash and the door
6. LTS in the space around the door handles
7. Black leather lining the targa roof and b pillar to match the steering wheel, instruments, vents, fuse box covers

This was both a fun and maddening experience but we are pleased at the results

Great attention to detail, and I can only imagine what it smells like inside. I am thinking about having my mode dial painted Miami Blue to match the pieces on my steering wheel so if anyone knows for sure how to remove it let me know.

Has anyone looked into getting their wheels redone aftermarket in satin aluminum?

Im curious if anyone has the paint code and what the process is.

Check with this place; however, I am sure there are shops in your area that can do the same but you can get some ideas from them: https://www.calchrome.com/

Nice!!!

how did it do on the track?

Bob Z.

Is the top watertight? Your son is aiming that hose right where if water were to enter it would!

JSETarga

Did awesome! Very capable on the track and lots of fun! Highly recommend taking them to the track. As you could guess I had the only Targa at the PCA track day, but car was confident and perfect!

JSETarga

No water came in. I let him stick his hands in wheels to get the rubber marbles out of my wheels, which was really helpful too. He loves doing stuff to cars with me.

There was a 2015 911.1 Targa 4S at a PCA HPDE at BlackHawk this past Friday. He did just fine. In fact, a base 2009 Cab, yes base Cab, led most laps of the intermediate group. It takes a lot of runway to makeup for poor lines.

Did most people do the rear wiper or not? is it necessary?

Lord Acton

Just drove mine in the rain today and the back glass hardly got wet. In my humble opinion, the rear wiper is anathema from a design perspective.
