    Clear lights on white. Yes, they do look after-market to us because U.S cars tend to have amber lights because of U.S-only regulations. Many change them out because they prefer clear, thus it feels after-market. I personally think the clears add more detail and depth. That's the look Maranello intended. Amber lights, front/rear bumper reflectors are just after-thought changes to please U.S regs.

    I have a capristo 3 with straight pipe cats and I think the car is too quiet under closed valve driving. It's almost as if you don't even have an after-market exhaust. My Scud w/ stock exhaust system is louder. I haven't heard a Cap 2, but if it is louder during closed valve, I would highly recommend it over the Cap 3.

    I do like the cleaner look in this photo. Have never seen this photo of another white 355 GTB. Looks like a tan interior?

    I'll have to consider clears now. :)

    Wow congrats on a very unique color. You need to do some videos with that new exhaust!

    Putting an amber light bulb behind the clears is a great idea.

    That's because that car is in Japan :). And yes it does have tan interior. I've noticed a common theme amongst white cars is a non two-tone color scheme. Usually, 355's will at least have the upper dash in black. I thought that was interesting.

    My buddy has a white 96 GTB manual with a full Cuoio interior. I prefer your 95 w/ the black interior :).

    I recall that car being sold a few years back. I think it was a TX car at the time. Is it in CA now?

    If we're talking about the same car, it wasn't sold a few years back unless you mean 7-10 years ago. My buddy has had his 355 at least 2-3 years before I've had mine. He actually talked me out of an F430 and got me on the 355 boat. I am glad I bought a 355 instead :).

    He has about 10 Ferraris and a few high-end Porches. I told him he could probably get $120k for his car right now. Said he'll never sell the 355.

    A stealth amber. If use an amber directly it looks like a dirty ghost behind.

    Awesome. You know what would look really good with that 355?

    A white 997 Turbo.

    ;)

    You know me too well...

    Can't decide between that or a 991GTS.

    The one you called about in Virginia is very nice. Let me know if you'd like me to go take a look for you.

    Turbo is needed for any "excitement" in the P-cars. Let me rephrase that... "to feel the speed." So the turbo would get my vote although I like the wingless profile.

    But Neither will compare to the Ferrari in my opinion.
