Your location is in Tulsa, Oklahoma? Not too far from home. I guess when I have time I should go there and check out your Z.

I've always been wanting a targa top for my Z as well.

I've heard that about the rigidity before. The car WAS designed from the start to be a convertible, so the appropriate chassis rigidity is likely already there on the coupe; I haven't seen mention of extra bits in the 'vert.

Pretty pricey, though; I'd sure like to see pics of the top and latch system when completed.

My car was supposed to be the first one with a targa top but that didn't go as planned. The interior isn't really up to par for a car with a targa top but congrats on the targa. I would definately suggest that if anyone here wants a targa that you wait until they have done a few more and gotten made sure that the top doesn't leak. Also have you figured a way to store the top in the trunk of the Z? There are a lot of little things about having a targa that you have to think about including durability and is there much extra strain on the chassis? BTW with no chassis support, I have to ask how the handling is b/c I would think that you would atleast put a GT Spec underbrace on the car.

Looks good, but you can't link your company without being a sponsor.

there are 5 18"s in our Z targa top holder wasn't in the design and we didn't make this one or cut the top as a bizzness move we did it because the car screamed for it

i really liked the xxx12's.. the prior models before the huge *** magnets... if i do put some subs in my Z.. i think that will be my choice... I like Brahmas but they require too much power.. and ID has been lazy keeping up with technology
