I think the hoop would look better black.

+1 I think they should offer it in choice of color. Black would look nice. I'm not sure the brushed aluminum works with all main car paint colors.

Pretty good and definitely worth it to avoid sitting in the bath tub.
You can offset that adde weight with a light set of wheels, although I'm not sure what those Hot Wheels looking things weigh stock.

It's funny to think that before the Targa Porsche went quiet a long while without any manner of convertible Carrera.

As someone who currently owns a targa, all I can say is:



Sorry, it's just not for me. (Maybe it will look better in person).
