Looks good. This was all a few years ago? I can smell the paint and reducer fumes just looking at the pictures.

polishing that targa is one of the smartest moves I have seen in a long time.

Never been a big fan of the Targa band but I agree, polishing it gives it a clean, unique look. The whole car looks like a labor of love, very nice. I do have one question. How / where did you get this? Just have it printed as a decal?

I found a company that makes replica stickers for body shops. They just only make it for a registered body shop. Lots of companies do it. Go to a local collision center and ask them to get it made. I’ll have to go thru my receipts and see what company I used.
