Longtime lurker, first-time poster. I would have felt weird posting on here if I didn't actually, you know, HAVE a P-car.
After 6 months of trolling the waters for a Targa 4S (and a since-childhood intention to eventually have a carrera), and a couple of deals that got away, I finally got it done this week. Atlas Grey Metallic over black full-leather, with a shocking (to me) array of gizmos and carbon bits. And a Recaro kiddie seat shoehorned in back, to prove how practical a family car it is.
Pics to follow.
For now, first question, to tint, or not to tint? I lean toward yes (everything but the roof, naturally), but how dark, how reflective, etc. are the big questions. If anyone has pics and specs to share, I'd appreciate it.

Congrats. Targa's are pretty rare, and it sounds like you got a well appointed car.

Not sure where you live.. I have an '07 Targa and I tinted the rear hatch window 20%. I'm thinking about doing the roof about 40%. In the summer, the interior gets very hot.. I never did any of the side windows.. Good luck and enjoy the car, I get stopped all the time from people who had never seen a Targa model..

1. Please don't tint
2. Please post pics pre-tinting (ie post pics of your newly acquired ride, some folks here get irritable if you say you just got a car and don't show us
)

ha ha!
does the tinting really make that much of a difference though? I would think if it's that hot out the inside of the car's gonna turn into an oven over a couple hours regardless...
