    I do like the wheels alot, but I want a chrome finish not the high polish. Once I find another set of wheels, I will be selling these 18" wheels.

    Very sharp, but 285 is right you should paint the Ferrari letters on the Calipers Black... Very sharp car!

    I got the rear brakes painted red too, I got a block of sand paper and lightly sanded over the top of the ferrari logo and it came back sliver. Looks much nicer then painting it white as sanding it made it look perfect and painting it white might look a bit.....cheap.

    Have you noticed any performance benefit?

    Does it make the car louder?

    If you want it to go faster and make it louder,push your foot right down.

    Was looking at the same setup, where did you get it, and notice anything other than added sound?

    Thanks for the sandpaper tip, that worked great and looks good. I have noticed a crisper throttle response with the BMC filters, especially in higher gears. I did a standing to 110 MPH on a stretch of road and noticed a smoother acceleration and nice engine sound in high gears. Its a good mod for $700 In my opinion.

    Well I was too lazy to take the wheels off , so I did it with them on the car. I used Foliatec caliper paint, the best in my opinion. I used a hobbie brush and painted the stock calipers, then took some course sand paper and sanded the FERRARI lettering back to silver and finished it off with some very fine sandpaper to smooth it out. I am happy with it.
