Hi, I was looking at buying this particular RX7, and I noticed that it has some kind of strange chrome thing on the b-pillars/roof. Is this a factory option, or is it just some piece of crap somebody stuck on there to bling it out? Either way, has anyone ever seen it before, and can it be removed? Thanks

 

Dude, that is a targa band. Rare and worth around $200.

 

-Puts on white robe and olive leaf crown-.....

"Targa,Targa,Targa!"

 

sweet, that's like taxes, registration, and inspection for free

it can be taken off with no ill side-effects, correct?

 

If it is glued on as it appears to be, there might be some glue damage/residue underneath.

 

No! Why did you guys tell him it's value? I could've gotten a targa on the cheap. Rats!

Ignore them! It's worth nothing!

 

If I had one, I'd damn sure sell it !!!

 

my buddys '85 has one of those, kinda lame IMO since it really isnt a "Targa" just says so on the side.

as said above it can be removed and its fairly easy, but there will be marks left where it was attached.

 

yeah what he said ,its totally worthless. but i quess i can take off of your hands, hell ill even give 50 bucks for taking it off and shipping it. hows that sound?


j/k its all personal taste, if you like it leave it, if you dont someone here will give you pretty good money im sure.

its was a factory option and there was also an aftermarket version. i dont remember which one was which but one was a single piece and the other had 3 pieces.

 

well, the car was sold anyway :/

 

I think the single piece might be factory (VERY, VERY RARE) and I know the 3 piece was dealer/aftermarket.

I have a couple of the 3 piece... might be selling one to finance my upgrades...

But I'd KILL for the once piece...

 

those remind me of what people put on their step side chevys on the bottom part...

 

still doesnt belong there, the car was never a real targa.

 

All a matter of personal taste.
You could say the same thing about body kits and spoilers.
For that matter aftermarket wheels, stereos etc.

 

Maybe not factory...

 

yeh if you were to remove such a thing the paint would most likely be faded either side of it and the paint underneath would probably be in not to good shape, i personally think that they are horrible and should never been seen on an rx7...
