As much as I love the blue color of the car - this black bar is taking away all the Targa appearance. Like this it looks almost like a convertible - all the glamour of the Targa is gone IMO.

Agree - on a different color it might look better, but then again - the Targa bar looks best in traditional style -  brushed steel - not even in aluminum. And - nowadays it should be easy to put a foil on it to give it the right look.
