Default Targa Roof

Anyone know if the roof brace can be ordered in colors other than the standard chrome/silver?

Also, the weight differentiation between the cabrio/targa, whether one is structurally more sound, handling wise.

Mine is white gold, but it was a special edition. you can get black on a GTS. I'm sure with a dealer that is exclusive manufaktur you could order anything. at a price of course.

The answer is probably yes, but wrapping it is more cost effective and virtually undetectable if done correctly.

Black (back?) is easy. I have a clear/satin finish on mine. You'd never know it was wrapped. Price was just under $300 as I recall. Porsche will charge you that much just to do the paperwork.

Cool, thanks
Will wait until 992 version arrives and give it a go.

When I build a Targa on the Porsche configurator, there is an option to have it in Satin Black.

It is an option on some - mine is Satin Black albeit I have a GTS so that was standard.
