    Last weekend PlyCar delivery my Speciale. Love the car but decided I wanted to give her a few touches. Wanted to share photos of the process happening at Exclusive Motoring in Miami. Painted the calipers yellow, smoked the lights and blacked out the logos.

    I'm also upgrading the stock stereo speakers and amp for better sound.

    I will post completed photos next week when I get her back

    I'm not sure I'd have the nerve to have my brand new Speciale taken apart like that! My hat is off to you!! Looks like a great job

    Please let me know what you did with the speakers and amp - not too chuffed with the standard stuff.

    NO matter how good it looked, I wouldn't let anyone take a screw off. I'm sure if the lights were originally blacked out, he would do the opposite... Nevertheless, gorgeous car.

    I just changed out my speakers to JL Audio and put in a different amp with much more control over the EQ. Came out awesome with NO changes in the physical appearance of the car nor any new holes or brackets. Saved the old stuff to put back in for the purists.

    I love the sound of the car but sometimes want a little something different especially when I take the car out with the wife for dinner.

    Very nice. Love the look of the Black Cavallino's and smoked tail lights.

    Congratulations on your new Speciale. I really like the contrast of the black logo and crest on a white car. Very nice work.
