Steve great car--love the "Targa" roof treatment. I think Rodney has done that, too--looks great

concerning the Targa.....which i love.
is there anyway i/we can get a more "glass" look?
I would like to blend the roof panels in with the sunroof
i also reminds me of the T-Top cars.i got a TransAm with T's, soo nice.
i think the T Top (all glass) look would be sharp on a Mera....humm......T-Top Meras
got to go see something.
Later

*EDIT* hey, any of you have T-Tops???? Know of anybody with T-Tops????

The F-car Targas were vinyl, I believe.

Doc John is the guy you want to talk to about Targas. http://www.fiero.nl/forum/Forum3/HTML/000006.html

That targa top look is a nice idea. I was looking into doing it with fabric, but vinyl looks good too.

Right, probably fabric. Should have said, "not painted."

Sorry - haven't figured out quotes yest -- I would think that a good painter would have a method to create a smoked glass or reflective finish paint to blend in a sunroof and give it a more targa like look. In responce to a number of questions / comments on my vehicle. Yes - I'm on the big side - 6-4 255 and I fit just fine. Springs were trimmed a bit to lower the vehicle and with the 16 inch tire wheel combo fill the wheel wells up nicely - Paint is Aztec Red urathane - Used on 300 ZX - Roof and bumpers are low gloss Sherwin Williams -- vehicle has always been garaged - except for a short stay at a local repair shop two weeks ago when the fuel line factured as I pulled into a cruise spot, lucky no fire! -- I clay bar the paint twice a year and I use a Boat type "wax" usually Dura Gloss. Paint job is 12 years old. Spent the better part of today detailing the car for a big show tomorrow- Redskins Ride where my junk will be on display with the lambos bentleys and ferraris of the Redskins. I'll post some more detailed pic's and hopefully some show pictures if not rained out.
