Hi members
I just made a contact to possibly make a run of ( Carbon fiber targa tops) yes the REAL THING not a wrap. A 914 top is being source to make the tooling. I understand I have no prices yet...but as soon as a donor top is found. I will be able to get an estimate based on the number of members interested. I will post pictures of a 911 targa top to give you an idea of the finished product. Who might be interested? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) Attached image(s) |

The bare 911 targa top is $1600 without any hardware, or $2700 complete. The 911 hardware is more expensive than the 914s, but I would imagine it would be at least $1200 for a 914. At $1200 each, he will sell 3 or 4. At $400 each he will sell all of them... For $1200 I'd just keep my painted one. For $400 I could justify it since it's mainly coolness factor, or about the cost of a CF trunk lid. Hardware is dime a dozen with 914s. With a CF top, it seems like one could use it as a true structural component if designed as such from the beginning, I think you'd want to eliminate the seals or deal with those somehow so they are not letting things move about. Wouldn't be hard to make bolt together hardware the replaces the factory clamps. Flex is mainly the rears. |
