well, here's the dmoris top:
and the british one:
don't forget eric's 996-style race top (w 996 side windows):
or the renegade hybrids/boxtcars cayman-style tops (again w 996 side windows):
here's a cool pic of a zeintop without the hatch (that's what bran used for his photoshop work below):
and back on topic and talking targa, here's a cool rendering with the longer glass back and 996 windows:
dunno if you would need a hatch in the back - depending on how it is attached (ie, just two spinlocks) you could just remove the roof to access engine.
if we are talking FG work and opportunities, I think it would be an interesting project to join the tonneau and the rear trunk into one panel:
'
delete your roof motors/transmissions, the spoiler mechanism, the tonneau cover (keep the tonneau hinges) and the rear trunk lid/hinges. replace with a lightweight 'combo' panel that attaches at the tonneau hinges at the front and the trunk latch at the back. pop the trunk to put roof up and down. save 100 lbs. use a fg tonneau and a fg techart rear trunk lid as a base - the techart lid doesn't have the third brake light cutout, and is longer to cover where the spoiler usually is - eliminates a lot of trim lines on the rear and would really clean things up.
and if that works and is cool, take it one step further and 'glass in a set of speedster humps to get the spyder look on the cheap (ie, not the $7500 tuneRS unit):
combining them all into one panel gets rid of all the trim lines and gaps of the current speedster hump system. further, as one panel, you can attach at the spinlocks and rear trunk latch and be done with it - allows you to drive w/o the actual convertible top and save another 50 lbs (and better areo). mebbe get a boat/canvas shop to make a little bimini top for it using the oem front convertible roof bar.
