Targa 4S Change-up
I have an '08 Targa 4S. I have a silly grin on my face every time I walk up to it. I bought it 2 years ago and am now wondering why I waited so long. As I looked at it, I was always looking at things to do to make subtle changes. I decided to change the brushed metal strip above the doors and side windows to black. I found gloss black vinyl 3 inches wide and 30 feet long. Less than $30 shipped. It took me about an hour and a half to do one side. I did a TERRIBLE job. I had never done vinyl before and it was harder than I would have imagined--especially the curve at the front of the door. Lesson learned-- hire a professional.
All-in-all I LOVE IT. I didn't mind the metal look, but this is much more subtle. I think it is really good with my Atlas Grey. I wonder what others could do (carbon (played out IMO), white, matte, or just go crazy with any color).
Let me know what you think.
FYI--yes only one side or still done; yes, it still has air bubbles; yes, I am going to have it done professionally--both sides. I did a bad job even before I had the IPA.

Having worked with this stuff, it is really easy. Cut lengthwise a little larger than the trim, get hair dryer and do a little at a time. That surface is much easier than many interior pieces I have done. It should be hard but with the width you are using and not heating, it is less pliable which leads to the bubbles

I believe that vinyl will be more durable than plastidip, but I may be wrong. Either way it looks good.
