dmhines did you ever think of getting the black gt side skirts
they are that painted black and they would accent your black stripes quite well
and they would break up all that yellow that is on the side of the car

sorry, not meaning to hijack the thread....


i did the targa top myself joe, and caught a lot of crap for it from either negative or conservative people. all i did was cut the top off with a circular saw, and filled it in w/ bondo and rubber molding. i have built the frame for the removable top w/ twist locks to hold down the top. i would post pics of the frame but i already dropped it off at a place in my town to get rhino lined so it never rusts. i used 1/4 thick by 1 1/2 inch wide flat steel beams to fabricate the top. after it gets rhino lined, i have to find a good place that does custom leather work so i can have a top stitched for it. other than that it wasn't too hard. just took a tedious amount of time to do it.

plus before you chop the top if you or anyone else does, remember to reinforce it first. i chose to go with 1inch by 1 inch solid steel beams and weld them the frame for support. i would hate to see what would happen to a car if you didn't reinforce it...

EDIT: forgot to say i agree with fitbikeco. if i want to paint mine black it wouldn't be too hard. just sand them smooth myself and paint them black then wetsand.
