I love seeing pictures being posted on this forum, so here are a couple... Well, nothing really fancy here but I wanted to add a little added appearance to my Targa. I've mounted an antenna similar to those that we see a lot on late German cars nowadays... It's non-functional and just for looks, but it is a real antenna made by a well known German auto maker. I thinks it adds a little something different to the car. What do you guys think?

I think it blocks the targa top

I think you have waaay to much time on your hands....I think in some circles this is what is known as being a "poser".

The Targa top slides under the back window...fyi

rcwelch, what's the matter? Do you have some against antennas? Besides, it's none of anyone's business...whether I have too much time on my hands or not. I just wanted to hear if anyone has any comments about the ANTENNA. Also I'd appreciate a little more courtesy in your post as you would from others. No ill comments please. Thanks.

I think it looks stupid....sorry.

Ok, I'll take that.

I've always been a sucker for roof mounted antennas going back to the late '80s VW products.
With the targa top it looks pretty clean. On a coupe it would like a little odd.

If it were functional I'd like it a whole lot more.

The reception in our cars is terrible. If you could use this as a second antenna, it would be kewl.

Hook it up to your radio ... it might help with the crappy reception

Thats really cool! What's it for?....

It would be so much cooler if it actually did something.

Well, designers that I know wince at putting anything like that on cars, unless, you know... it's needed. So, as it's moot, then I don't get it, unless you want people to think you've got Nav or whatever. I think that's where the "poser" idea crept in. I must say, it's very LA, as useless appendages abound here.

Btw, very nice Targa.

looks like the nav antenna to a merc car.

btw: heard ya get one free if ya buy a nav.

Jason.... your Targa is so nice already... non functional appendages are not needed...JMHO

Well concerning the look... not a lot to say, it's not damaging!
But I would be ennoyed to answer a friend stupid question: "Oh what is this for?"...

On the other hand, I'm not sure that if you connect you radio on it you'll have a better reception. All antennas are calculated for the job they have to do. In your case, I think it's a gsm antenna.

Last word: if you like it, keep it!
