Enough with the boring colors. How about Speed Yellow, Guards Red, Cobalt Blue? Why look like every other car on the road?

If you choose black, you'll have to be washing it more than a grey or silver but black has the best shine.

Darker colors like black/grey will highlight the chrome window stripe in the targa. Lighter colors will highlight the roof itself. I would go for Nordic Gold, White or Yellow.

If you go for yellow, get the Turbo wheels painted yellow as well. I saw that combination on a Turbo and it was wow, even though I am not normally a fan of yellow.

2) Meteor/black
3) Gt Silver /Sea Blue
4) Midnight Blue /cocoa

I saw a black one back at home in Asheville that had black wheels and tinted windows. Absolutely gorgeous with the stainless 'Targa line' on the side. I actually thought then that the Targa might have the best profile of them all. Really made the car look incredible.

But I'm biased too. But I do NOT think that this car looked like every other car on the road. Just my 2 cents.

If I had to pick from those three colors I'd pick silver. Silver is boring but even when dirty it doesn't look that bad. Swirls and rubs on the paint don't stand out nearly as much as a darker color. I have a black car now and it shows everything, even after a fresh wash.... pollen and dust.

Your Meteor with Tubro wheels look nice..... I would like a light interior.... However, Beige will not work with Silver? Will Beige go with Grey?

Good advice.

I'm biased because I have a GT Silver with stone gray interior. While I love black, my black C2S cab wore me out trying to keep it looking nice. The GT Silver is much more forgiving, and shows the contrasting black glass top better. I also really like the meteor gray on the Targas, and would have preferred it if I could have found one.

Forget what we all say. Buy the one you like.
