Temporary targa top pictures

just got mine today. Very professional job right down to the plastic packaging. i couldn't be more pleased with the product.

 

Just received mine also. Does indeed look great, even better than I expected. I'm having the local F* gang over tomorrow for a tech session, so will have a chance to show it off & maybe you'll get some more business!

Now that I have it, I'm having 2nd thoughts about black. Since it's primary purpose is to keep the interior clean while the car's garaged during the driving season, probably something like tan wouldn't show the dust as much as black will. Hopefully the black will vacuum or wash easily.

I made my own. Bought a quality large off-the shelf metalized mylar sunscreen from AutoZone, & used a knife to remove the outer binding. Then laid a sheet of red ruby paper on my windshield & made a template. Trimmed the sunscreen to match the template, & sewed the binding back on while watching a movie.

However, I'd think there's enough potential for gianluca to consider running off some.

 

Got mine! Looks great!!! I already have some ideas for modifying it to make it "driveable" - I'll post more as soon as I finish the prototype.

 

Verell's approach sounds great for those who can pick up a needle without stabbing themselves. Not me, sadly. I got mine about a year ago from an outfit mentioned here. Purpose made for 308. I'm happy with the fit. Center is held in place by the rear view mirror, edges tuck into the windshield corners/sides, no need to use the visors. Sadly, the receipt did not survive moving, and I didn't find them just now using Search. The shield says Heatshield, Canvas Works, Sunnyvale, CA. I remember the Sunnyvale address, but Canvas Works does not ring a bell....

 

They're at http://info.canvasworks.com/ahs1.html

They've got patterns for LOTS of Ferrari models:

Man, if only I had known about the mint green option

 

I guess I'll stay with black.

BTW, I just noticed that it's longer than my GTS QV's targa top. When the front edge is against the windshield, the back extends onto the roof about 1" past the targa top opening. Is this intentional?

 

Hi Gianluca, WooHoo Finally got my top cover today, sorry for the bad picture but as you can see it fits good and looks great.
Professionally done, just in time for the up coming event. Thanks again.

Received my temporary top today. The top is well made and works great.

Thought I'd post pics on how well the top works with my "custom" sun shade.

Thanks Gianluca

Looks great John, I like your wheels, what kind are they?

 

Got mine -- REALLY well made... thanks! Even the packaging for the shipment is top notch!!

 

It sits on the indent of the "roll bar", rather than end on top of the rubber molding.

 

Thanks. The wheels are Compomotive 3 piece wheels with spun aluminum rims and magnesium centers. They were on the car when I bought it 6 years ago.

Regards, John

You are very lucky those wheels are gorgeous and expensive.
You think you can find more info about those wheels. Thanks.

 

Hey Gianluca, in case you're keeping track, I have mine. Very nice, thanks again!

 

Hmmm. How much of a discount on the green one?

 

to revive an old thread....

does anyone have a temporary targa top availbale ?

I thought maybe Gianluca has some spare left from the former group buy -
but it seems that he has not logged on to F-Chat for more than a year ?


best regards from Germany
Michael

 

You can send him an email by going through his profile then contact Info.

 

thank you Mike,

I contacted Gianluca and he answered right away...great guy


just to let everyone know:

he still produces those temporary targa tops on demand

 

He may have been busy with the fabulous wood-fired brick oven he built in his back yard Got to get up early in the a.m. to make fresh bread for the neighbors and stay up late to make real pizza!
