    Well, 4 bidders at least seem to think it's all good...

    Not my taste though. Especially the new red accents inside.

    I actually saw a 2004 last week (same year as mine) with the red done on the inside and I liked it better than the plastic looking aluminum I have. That car also had the Ferrari logo embroidered between the two seats (very nice). It had lights blacked out, which I did not like though.

    Chrome wheels: Ewww.
    Red interior pieces: Double ewwww.
    Subwoofer box: Actually nice.
    Amps: Right idea, but way cheesy example.

    someone put >30K miles on that car. someone loved it and drove it. that car was treated better than 95% of 360's out there... not my taste... I'm sure the seller would say... don't bid.

    Good for him (or her)

    Call me crazy but I think the standard 360 wheels could be ordered in chrome straight from the factory.

    I may be wrong though.

    chrome wheels better than silver
    red interior pieces great if they were carbon fiber
    stereo a must and must be done by a professional

    I've seen way worse things done to 360s than this. While the red interior isn't my style, I could live with the other mods.

    Those ARE stock rims; you could order them chrome finish. Agree; not my taste as well.

    The painted interior also not my taste, but was to this guy. Very easily brought back to stick with just a respray. And as anyone who actually USES their 360 can attest those painted aluminum door panels and center console will get chipped with the seatbelts and then you end up respraying them anyway.

    The stereo, to me is a must do. I love my music and what come with the car blows. Again, what's done here was not a hack job; nothing from the stock car was damaged and this entire stereo system can be brought back to stock I'm guessing in 30 minutes or less. Personally I think the box looks bad, but I'm sure it sounds nice.

    THIS is the best custom sub I have yet seen for the 360/430. This man makes it look like a stock option. Read the thread. And again, easily returned to stock if you should so desire. The only reason he hasn't done mine is he wants the car, and will not make boxes from old measurements. I don't want to leave the car in Houston for a while.

    It's is actually very nicely done with exception of red interior. It's easy fix, just carbon warp the 3 interior trims. I like the alpine deck too, it looks better and more modern than stock Becker unit and probably performs better.

    It looks a well loved car. I could live with the wheels and the red interior. Need some place for overnight bag so the box in the trunk would get the heave. If you need louder music, drop a gear.

    This should be 4 things..........

    -Pose while sitting topless on the trunk in skin tight white jeans and/or holding a guitar trying to look half your age.

    Pretty much my thoughts though not sure about the 'better than 95%' bit.


    I realize this is not a glowing review, but "its not as bad as I thought it was going to be" comes to mind.

    1) He needs an engine detail badly
    2) Chrome wheels are a toss up
    3) Before any upgrade to the stereo, upgrade the exhaust!
    4) After the exhaust upgrade, no need for stereo upgrade!
    5) If you are going to upgrade or body color match the interior trim pieces, for god sakes, do the stereo and instrument panels too.
    6) Don't be a cheap arse, buy the Daytona seats.

    I think, modified the car to fit the personal taste and preference is absolutely OK & personal but in return it is harder or cheaper to sell the car becasue everyone's taste or preference might be different. I modified my GT3 a lot but I don't really care what the outcome would be in terms of selling it but I have never modified my Fcars except the exhausts. It is only my personal opinion.
