Well to start IMHO the Spoon top doesn't look good on too many S2k's. With that said it won't look much better with the top cut out of it.
Why I'd want a targa top on my convertible just doesn't make much sense to me. If you live in climates where a convertible is common instant rain stroms aren't a problem. If you do live in places where rain is an issue plan ahead.
I wonder if people with covertible Porsche's think about having a targa top on their convertible?
God forbid you actually got wet with the top down.
Some people want it all I guess.

Just like C6 guys or supra guys or ... Old firebird/camero guys with t-tops
I think it will work for some.
I'm like a light switch with no dimmer... either on or off.
Can't see buying a top, cutting a hole in it for something that gives me half (or less) of what I want in total.

I see what you mean but, is that your car in the sig...the GPW S with a hardtop? Why buy a convertible then put a hard top on it? Looks?
I love having the top down and cruising feeling all the openness. I also love the way the hardtop looks but hate how I feel so closed in. My DD is not a convertible so I always drop the top in the S. I feel a targa is best or both worlds. Plus its different and a change to someone who knows how to play with FB or CF tops.

youre basically making the top into a parachute..
my last car had t-tops; when off you could feel the wind resistance. that being said, if you were to do this you would definitely want to go with a cut out over each seat so as not to loose the front latches when theyre off..

They're Varrosten (sp?) not Volks.
