    Initially when searching for a white 430 Spider, I could not find one. I ended up buying a black one of which I am still very happy with, but felt it was time for a change....
    Impressive Wraps in El Monte, performed a professional and amazing job wrapping my car satin pearl white. I researched quite a few different wrap companies and looked at various wraps on different cars and was always able to notice subtle defects.
    On my car, there are no seams, edges noticeable, rippling or any other defects. Michael and his team at Impressive Wraps has performed a stunning job. They even wrapped my diffuser, as I got the wonderful idea from DocWill on his white Scud....
    Without further adieu, here is the old - I always thought that black hid some of the beautiful lines:

    The 430 is such a great looking car in white. I'm surprised how few of them there are. I can't wait to see the end result.

    Can last for up to 7 years. Wash the car pretty much the same.
    It's very durable, but also completely reversible without effecting original paint.
    It's almost like clear-bra'g your whole car.

    I was quoted rates from about $3500-$5000 for my spider. Impressive Wraps has a special for L4P members or 6speedonline that is 50% off - so if interested, contact quick.

    More pics coming.....

    VERY Impressive.

    Why not add stripes? I think the white needs stripes...

    Here is my issue with wraps and plastidip. They do not have the high gloss finish. You cant polish and wax them to a high gloss. So if you are going for a matte black look, then ok, a wrap or platidip finish is fine, and fun for a few months. No problem.

    Do you feel like you want more gloss, like from an OEM white F430?

    I was considering adding a Scud or 16M stripe .... I may do that for fun.

    There are many, many, many choices. Even in white alone, there is gloss, matt, the satin pearl that I chose, and all different shades. I'm sure you have seen Justin Bieber's chrome wrap. There are metallic wraps as well.
    True you don't wax the wrap, but it's very easy maintenance with simple car wash soap and water.

    I personally was drawn to the Satin pearl white color because it has many different shades and hues in different lighting. You could wrap it gloss white as well.
    I will take/upload more pics to show the different shades in the sunlight - very different.

    Very nice. There's a shop in the Seattle area which does wraps. I was pretty skeptical in the beginning, but having seen them in person, it looks unbelievably nice!

    Fits like a glove by the looks of it. Really nice, like the OP said, these cars are really nice in white and you really don't see them that much, which makes it even more interesting.

    That's a nice wrap job hyung.
    Is the headlight housing color coded with the car body on the 430 like it is on the 360?

    Very impressive, if they can do black->white so well, they can do anything.

    white Ferraris are are really looking good these days.

    It is a matter of a personal taste...But that is the same stuff I use to advertise on my company fleet... I wouldn't wrap a Ferrari.... to protect the paint ? To make a car look like carbon fiber ? Few years from now everybody will see how cheesy it was. Sorry but in my eyes it looks cheap... even when they "wrap" in gold "look".

    ^^^NorthWestAutoSalon - those guys are up there and wrap like pro's. Be wary of a poor job, cause they can be horrible.
    OP- the satin white looks outstanding.
