I have never liked the targa top. Break up the lines too much. Of course, I don't like any of the aftermarket stuff on a 1st gen: louvers, rear spoilers or wings, front air dams, or side grounds effects. Some of these look fine on the 2nd gen, but 1st gens look best "au natural."

All of the magazine articles on SA22C's have been of Aurora White cars. And for very good reason - it shows off the dark highlights of the car, making it look like a sketch of itself. Plus white is a "pure" color, perfect for showcasing the purity of design that was in the SA's.

The fact that WT was Aurora White is a coincidence. Honest. (Actually, for the price I paid for it I'd have been happy with any color but I was ecstatic when I saw it!)

I like silver, too. My '76 T-bird was silver, as was my Subaru. The Subaru, in fact, was the exact shade of Manco brand duct tape, which was a coincidence that I heavily exploited.

One color isn't enough for me:


Sorry the pic is so dark... But the silver pieces are the replacements for the ones that I broke. The rest of the car is a stock blue color, I don't remember the name or code, and I'm too lazy to look.

Are those "silver pieces?" I thought it was duct tape!
