Placed a deposit in September for Targa 4s and my dealer just notified me that they finally have an allocation. Meeting this week to finalize build and anticipated delivery date.

Any feedback on my configuration would be greatly appreciated.

Aventurine Green is an amazing color. Excellent choice.

Basically, this is a blank check build — the kind of build many people start with, then dial it back. The thing is, not everyone dials it back.😜

I don’t need to tell you that the Matrix headlight functionality doesn’t work in the United States. If you want it for style, get it. It’s not like you’re not pinching pennies with this one.

It looks great. The delivery wait will be agonizing, but worth it. Enjoy this car. 👍

 

I have my grill slats painted and it’s hardly noticeable. Look at my avatar photo.

The black targa bar might look good with those rims, too.

Congrats on your allocation!

 

At $197k, you need to find a way to have PCCBs on this build.

 

I love it. I would consider changing the seatbelts from truffle to chalk for contrast. I personally prefer the look without sport design, but that’s just me... I would delete that and add pccb.

 

I would do Spyder wheels, black targa bar, remove sports design package, and add manual transmission. Stick with silver lights and rear slats. Paldao on seat backs, remove truffle seat belts. Aventurine and truffle is a great combo.

 

Just a few suggestions.

Wow what a build!

I would go with Black Seat Belts. With your seat inlays black, think it would look better
As other have said on the LED Matrix (I have them on mine) - no word yet on when or if ever they will be allowed in the US. I would just go with the PDLS+ Terrible waste of a few extra K at least for now and likely a long time to come.
I think I would go with the Black Targa Roof. I have seen the reds ones on Black cars and they look good. Not sure if the brown would end up being too much brown. Also a bit more traditional, and easier resale down the road if that is something to consider.
The other cool thing you did was the Palado wood trim, nice touch. Why not do the back of the seats in Palado instead of leather. I have a buddy with a 992 Cab with Palado trim and seat backs, looks gorgeous and completes the wood look!

 

Some random thoughts.

1. Targa bar in Black.
2. PCCBs in High Gloss Black
3. Extended Dashboard and Door Panel in Leather (instead of just Extended Dashboard Leather).

Enjoy the new car.

 

Agree 100% with Paldao [or Aventurine exterior color] on the seat backs. I have painted seat backs on a coupe and it makes the rear view stunning. On a Targa the seat backs are even more visible. FWIW, finished seat backs should be a "mandatory option" on a cab.

 

Wow - very nice. Glad to see someone who's out spending me on a Targa.

Just two pretty related suggestions. Keep the silver Targa bar - much nicer look with a darker color car. And I agree with one earlier post - consider the top in black. The rear glass has a very dark shade to it and with the brown top it gets a little busy. See your rationale in trying to tie in to the interior but that doesn't really come across, especially considering when the top's up the windows are too (generally speaking). Love the 930 package. Think you have enough leather with that. Unless you're looking to break the 200K barrier for a non-turbo S, the extended dash leather may be a bit much. I had it on a TTS recently - liked it at first and later on it just didn't matter that much (same for steering wheel column).

 

Thank you for the thoughtful recommendations. I really appreciate everyone taking time to reply.

Only thing I'm still perseverating on is rear lid grille vertical slat inlays in exterior color, standard silver, or High Gloss Black. The sport design package front and rear will be matte black not high gloss, but I kind of like the look of the high gloss black vertical slats below the rear window.... 🤷🏻‍♂️
