    Okay...I do love the color of my 360. However...you guys with your various reds def get more attention. That being said....I've gone back and forth with I stalling Challenge Stripes to my 360...however...that makes me a total poser. Is the stigma that bad?? Be honest. Yes I've got 430 wheels on my car. Massively upgraded exhaust, headers and cats...I love my car...I am building a new biz right now so have to conserve cash otherwise I'd buy a 430 spider. But have been toying with the CS stripe to give it a bit of pizazz.

    Dude, you own a Ferrari. If you feel you need more attention you're mistaken. I think you have done enough. It is your car, do what makes you happy but I think you've done quite a bit to make it your own. As for being a poser, that's between you and the haters out there.

    Enjoy the drive!

    If I didnt have a spider I would certainly add the stripe as I think it adds something very special to the 360. That said I would only add it if it had the CS bodykit, mirrors etc, I dont see the point in adding the stripe without the rest. Just my $0.02.

    Personally I would leave the CS stripe with the CS. I like keeping a Ferrari authentic to it's origin.

    I installed the stripe on my black 360 last week, ive had the very same dilemma for 2 years should I .... should'nt I. Really loved the sleek look of the black car that despite being a Ferrari gets a little less noticed than my previous red models, but after two years I just had to do it and have to say im super happy with the results & pleased I finally did it.

    I don't think that came out right...(I'd had a couple of vodkas haha) I'm not seeking the attention. My windows are tinted as I like the privacy. It's just about adding that certain flair to the car I guess.

    Italian flair is right.

    personally I don't like the CS stripe. I am not a fan of the 3 different colors on the CS stripe.
    IMO, it doesnt look good on some color cars. what color is your car?

    if I was going to do it, I would do a Scud stripe instead.

    do it.. esp if u get the CS bumper.. love the look.. nothing wrong with it. As long as you leave off the "challenge stradale" badge in the back.. that is total poseur move if u leave it.

    It's like the M body kit on regular BMWs.. it's fine.. as long as you don't have the M badge.

    If your going to put on a stripe put on the 16M one. Its nice and thin, doesn't add too much flair, and looks great. I prefer the 16M single stripe over the Scuds double stripe, and much more than the thick CS one.

    edit: You can achieve the CS stripes colors with the 16M stripe. Its basically the CS stripe without the white sides. Just the red, white(in the middle) and green.

    Then go for it, as long as you know the first rule of Italian driving:
