    i know there was a thread on folding targe tops for 308 GTS awhile back, but I cannot seem to find it. Can someone direct me to this?

    As I recall, this top was not rated for speed but more for emergency use. Ideally, one that would fold into a size to allow full use of the room behind the seats AND was speed rated would be awesome....and quite popular for us tall guys.

    Thanks in advance...

    GCalo made some very nice ones but they are not for use when the car is in use only when parked. More of a sunshde , keep the dust and dirt out when you had to leave the top at home kinda thing

    Yes, Mike, that is it. Thank You. I would seem that it may lift off at highway speeds (legal, of course)

    It's installed by pushing suction cups on the outside of the windows. I cannot imagine a way to install it and then drive the car too (unless you seal the driver in). It's not designed for use while in motion.

    Maybe 5 to 8 mph Top as long as it's not windy. It's really intended for parking under a tree, long hot sunny day at a car show,
    or while you're getting the real targa top replace or repair.

    Forget this thing while you are driving. What's the point anyway? We have a hardtop for that that takes 30 seconds to snap into place for the road.

    This temp thing is great for the qiuck cover so you don't have to uncover, etc. the real top. It's for parked cars only

    I believe GCalo is making the floor mats for the Fcars.

    But yes contact Gianluca, he can make it any color you want.

    The standard targa top is easy to install and more secure.
