    It looks good! Not to fond of the color and smoked rims. Also, it looks like the stitching on the dash is a bit too big. The glove box opening and the detail on the windows are the coolest parts! Do you mind sharing how much you bought it for?

    You're right about the scale of stitching. The carbon fiber trim also has a similar issue. but it's still much better than the HW cars. In fact, I was just comparing to my HW Elite F430 Scuderia and the HW feels so cheap and inferior - granted it's about 1/3 the cost but knowing the improvements on the HW Super Elite version, the Super Elite version is not worth it compared to anything from CMC or BBR. As it is the Super Elite barely matches the Kyoshos.

    I'll probably get the regular Rossa Corsa with tan interior but I wanted to snag this one given the great deal that it was and also the more limited edition size. I got mine from Toronto Motorsports at their great price of CAD299 :) The Red/tan version will probably come down in price further. Personally, I prefer the Silverstone/red version that will be out soon.

    Another way you can get a decent deal is if you buy on ebay going through Live search at live.com. You get about 25% off Buy It Now items... (but they have to be US registered Ebay sellers).

    Supposedly. My lighting causes it to look a bit lighter/brighter given the metallic/pearl nature of the paint. Compared with the HW Scuderia, the HW is a lighter shade of red.

    In my eyes it looks not light enough!

    I thought that is Scuderia Rosso, the red from the F1 cars:
