Update:

Ordered GT2 lower sills (rocker panels) from the dealer and Modulare B1 Monoblock Concave wheels from Peter @ Wheel Experts. Until they show up (end of March?) I installed a set of 15MM Techart spacers on the rear......

Tint, tires and Bilstein Coilovers to be added shortly.

congrats. i have an 08 targa 4s and our here, it truly is an all season ride (certainly need winter set). you've chosen an instant classic. enjoy and drive it!
since you showed the sills, take a look at this led tail light upgrade from RotTec.
I think this is a pretty nice looking refresh. Not sure about quality or ease of install.

What a beauty Chuck, congrats! Love the Targa 911, great looking cars.

Enjoy in good health.

Nice ! Did you order direct from Techart ? Or do you source from another vender?

What do the GT2 Lower sills cost ?

Chuck Z

Like the TotTec upgrade and may consider after I get the suspension, wheels, tail and sills done.


Thanks Afshin! When are you getting the Spyder?

Thanks Jason! The spacers I used are from a previous 928 I owned. I actually used them on a 996 cab we had a few years ago too. They are the "bolt to the hub" style with wheel studs on the spacer, I used the OE 997 wheel studs to bolt the spacer to the hub and a set lug nuts to bolt the wheel to the spacer. If you're interested in doing this I would recommend getting a 15mm H&R spacer with longer wheel studs.

....sorry, forgot to answer this one. List is $775 each side. I have a long time friend at a Porsche dealer who gives me smokin deals on parts so I paid considerably less.

excellent choice!
i like the supple leather, we considered it and chose not to go that path, perhaps we should have?

Hi Chuck,

Just learned that the Spyder is on the vessel and headed to the states.

I hope to be picking it in early April!

Chuck Z

Craig, I LOVE it!!!! Great car! The cocoa leather is sooooo RICH..... Can't go wrong either way. Thanks for posting the pics.

Chuck Z

Cool! What color did you go with? If it's on the vessel my guess is you'll see it b/f April especially b/c it's a sold unit.
