Allows top to be opened/closed with one click of button from inside vehicle (otherwise you need to hold button for entire operation), and also provides open/close activation from your key fob. Works great. Here is a link to their website.

Wife has been fine... in fact her long curly hair and it's incompatiblity with convertibles is what lit our Targa fuse.

Top is fine... Smart Top mod is fun and easy.

Oh, and the manual transmission is the icing on the cake.

I'd be interested to know the take-rate on 3-pedals in Targas. I think initially the pundits thought they'd almost all be PDK cars for folks that wanted something easy to drive. I'm seeing a number with sticks spec'd by people that are all about the driving experience.

Enjoy!
I'm getting MT. If I liked the PDK, I would still have my '15 TT.
Also will be my third SmartTOP. Great to have to return car to ROW spec for the top.

OK...thought so...had them on my 2010 Turbo cab and they were really very nice. I am going to get a set (white snows) for my wife's incoming Targa 4S. Tasteful.

That is one of the best looking Targas I've ever seen. Love DBM, especially with those wheels. Very nice.

I love my TARGA! Had a Turbo for 26 years....never a problem with the electric top. Targa is pretty quiet with the top down....I can't answer about with the top up as I always drive with it down!!!!!

I love the white /Red combo......My Turbo was White/Blue with Blue canvas top.....color adds a little to the look...I think Red Canvas would be very slick.....I hope you take your Targa to GRinderwald / Interlacchen...I took my Turbo there 26 years ago ..driven right out of the factory!

Those wheels look great. Did you get those from Suncoast. Their site says the 19" sport classic wheels fit 2005-2012 models. So these fit the 991 as well?

Yes i purchased through suncoast. They were a perfect fit on the 991 with small spacers on the back. You could get away with no spacers as the sport classic is for the wide body.
