I need to take some pics this afternoon and will post them up.
I also plastidipped the Targa4S lettering. The nice thing about the Plastidip is that it is easily reversible if I want to go back to stock.

I wanted a Targa but couldn't find one that fit my options requirements and budget. They just didn't come up for sale often enough and I found a cabriolet that I loved so I quit looking. The hatch just seemed like a fantastic idea.
If I ever move over to a 991, a targa will be off of my list. I know the 997-style Targa isn't a true Targa, but in practice it's much more appealing to me than the Rube Goldberg contraption that they've done on the 991 body style.
On a side note, whistling mirrors isn't unique to Targas, IIRC. Thankfully, my car never had it but a friend's '06 cabriolet has it and he's never fixed it. It doesn't bother him but it drives me nuts.

The dark chrome strip looks outstanding.
My 2007 Targa is dirty and it is raining here...so will have to post pictures later.
I swapped out the Targa for my M5 for drive to airport this week - been so long since I drove the M5 the battery was just about dead. I really love the M5 but it is not even close to as much fun to drive as the 997. Took the M5 out for a spin to get it all warmed up before putting in garage and I realize why I never drive it...

Here's a couple of quick pics. Sorry for the not so great quality. Will get better pics eventually.
I happen to have some Red Plastidip on hand, am tempted to do the S in red, but not sure if worth the hassle.

F308gt4 - the Fisters are on the way - somewhere between California and Virginia. Expect to see them Friday. Still scheduled for install on the 24th. So far FD has been great to work with. Will keep you updated.
