    I doubt it would stick well as its a textured surface but not sure.

    Could do padded leather. F355 gts landau edition ;)

    Lol - I bet it would stick, I know it's textured ;) and it would be cheap and quick, I'm gonna try it but inquiring if anyone else has done it.

    Same here. I am looking into doing a wrap if they can match the paint colour.

    Thanks for being helpful and constructive - that shows off the wrap so nicely. still worried about taking points off for platinum at Cavallino if painted.

    When I had my GTS, I bought an extra top and had it painted to match. That might be an option worth considering.

    I guess the best thing is the wrap can come off.

    Have them put it on and see how you like it, if you don't like it yank it off.

    Did no GTS come with painted tops?

    As others have noted, with a wrap, the colour matching could be an issue.

    None of the 348 or 355 targa tops were painted by the factory, they all left the factory with the black textured finish.

    Surely that's not right re 355. It was a factory option as far as I was aware, at least on the later cars.

    If I had a GTS, I would get a second top. One original, one painted. Best of both worlds.

    Anyone have like proof either way?

    because I have no clue, but it would seem the smart way would be to offer either. If you wanted it painted or not.

    Later models color coded roof was an option.

    incorrect

    Please be certain of facts before posting
    Just creates confusion and mistrust when poor info is presented as fact

    My apologies! - when it comes to the 355 it seems that I am indeed incorrect (but not when it comes to the 348!).

    To quote Alexander Pope: "To err is human, to forgive, divine!"
