I think it would be cool to have a targa top like the 993, 996 and 997, with a glass roof that slides down inside the rear window.

The bump to this thread got me wondering... we haven't heard from stelan for quite a while here or in the AOS thread. I see he hasn't logged in since January. Hope all is well.

Please keep me in mind when you get an idea in pricing!!! I'm poor but I will make it work! I've always wanted a targa top car. Every car I've owned I've thought of chopping the top off to make it a targa. I kept searching every few months for boxster targa and it finally popped up!!! You are my hero!!
