Look back at the Targa history and you will see many wonderful and sometimes crazy colors on this car. We seem to be in a world stuck on black on gray on black with chalk stitching. Here is one that tries to break the current boring mold:

Do you know what color blue it is (San Marino Blue Metallic?)

That is correct. Gentian Blue Metallic. Here is a great throwback color from the Porsche site:

To tint or not to tint, that is the question. I'm receiving my Targa in a couple of months - my dealer has offered to tint the rear/side windows for free but I can't make up my mind. If you have a Targa in black with silver Targa bar, can you post photos along with the % of your tint? I'd like to hear your reasons for tinting/not tinting... thanks!

Aesthetics, privacy, and heat reduction depending on the % you choose.

On my Cabriolet (in shop now) and our Targa due early February we are going light 55% on sides and rear and 70% windshield. This gives a light tint look, with good heat reduction.

Some good info here: https://rennlist.com/forums/992/1388...-get-tint.html

55% example:

I am in the same boat. Wondering if a 35% tint for sides and rear will change the look of my white Targa with silver bar. What do you guys think?

I love it especially with the silver bar. Your Targa looks sporty yet classy with those wheels. Thanks for posting!

I actually didn't want to tint because if done too dark I think it ruins some of the point of the targa.... but I ended up doing 45% and am super happy with it. Looks slightly darker in these pics than it does in real life. Interior is still quite visible from the outside.
