You MUST keep the rims; but a Turbo front bumper cover will look great, just look at mine!
Enjoy the car for a while; drive it; have fun!

I use 18 turbo twists for my snow tires and have kept stock wheels for my 993 Cab in the warm months.......

Very pretty car .. I really like Targa's a lot and recently a friend in Europe sent me this ad for one for sale in France in Riviera Blue. I've NEVER seen another one in this color. I wish I had a reason to keep a car in Europe ...

There's something missing on those European Targas. Where are the basket handles?

Looks great, and I'm not a fan of Turbo twists...the fact they all go the same way has always bugged me. I know, I have issues!

OMG keep those original rims but who cares what I think, right?

So... what are your impressions of the Targa vs. your older car? Are you loving the roof? Any rattles? Glad you got the Targa instead of the "S"? Any regrets? Lastly, are you worried about more maintenance down the road with those 17 motors that make up the Targa top (unless I'm totally wrong about the motors)?

Congrats. Great color and ... great OEM rims. Keep the rims ON the car at all times.
