    Gorgeous! :eek:
    I would paint the targa top, but thats just my personal opinion. ;)
    Your car looks beautiful either way and those 355 wheels are sweet. I gotta get me some I reckon. :):)

    Normally I would say YES - paint the roof. But with your car, maybe the 355 wheels set it off, not sure - But I would leave it as is...

    Looks great - love to see 348's being driven! But a question with the tires - these are Pilot Sport 2's? what size?

    I went with Bridgestone Fuzion's to retain the factory tire size and save some cash - but they're nowhere near as crisp as the yellow P-zero's I had on before.

    Can't go wrong either way. If you leave it, then you've got that much more incentive to drive with it off! If you paint it, then you look a smidge better with it on.

    I've got 12 CM's of clearance from the ground up to the lowest point on my front bumper.

    Are you lower than that in front?! If so, that may be part of your bumper issue.

    They are 225/40zr-18 front & 265/40zr-18 Rear.Yes they are the Pilot Sport 2's.It would be hard for me to tell the difference.These are my first new tires so they naturally feel good.

    Great pics Jeff. I really like the look of the 355 wheels. Wish I had a set.

    FYI - I posted some pics of my 348 the other day and a couple of guys noticed that the exhaust tips are very close to the bumper - looks like yours are the same. I'm going to adjust mine (if possible). Are you running after-market exhaust? Just for kicks, here's a shot with the body color top.

    Sweet looking car...but I'd definitely paint it. I opted for a GTB because IMHO the lines of the 348 / 355 are so much better when not interrupted by a convertible or targa roof. Paint it, and it's practically a clean lined GTB with the top on.

    I forgot you're running 18's - thanks :). I'm going to try with the stock wheels if I can.

    Looks great with the wheels. Very clean, also. My top is painted, and I think it helps the lines of the car.

    Normally I would say keep it as is. However, with the pics of the second 348 with a red top, I think it helps the lines and I say paint it.

    Hey Thanks for your input.Yeah I'm actually using a tubi with the stock cats.You know I never noticed that the exhaust tips were that close.I think the consensus is that I should paint it .Like I said I have to repaint the front spoiler anyway.
