    Got all the lights (exept headlights) on my F430 removed and painted--"Black Out". Total cost was under $700.00...I think it turned out great. I didn't do a super dark look on the lights as I was still worried about night visability.

    Still debating if I should "tint" the front headlights (from stickercity.com)

    beautiful car.
    IMO, Do the headlights very light and lower the car 1/2" more.

    The F430 is so nice! Everything on it just fits together. I think my favorite 430 coupe.

    Agreed - could probably lower as much as an inch. Might also want to consider having the exhaust tips black ceramic coated.

    Car looks great in any event!

    Thanks....what does lowering the car entail? Can a wheel place do it or do you need a special Ferrari tool from the factory?

    No special tool per se - unless the wheel place installs coil over suspensions and other suspension adjustments, I would have a Ferrari dealership, Ferrari specialist/race shops do the work. I would also imagine shops that can do corner balancing can handle.

    Photo is of your spyder twin, before the exhaust tips were black ceramic coated. Car has 19's and was originally lowered 2", then raised; net 1 1/4" lowering from stock.

    Perfect look!!! I'm sold, gonna lower it...do you have a close up of the wheels with the OEM caps..I was wondering if black center caps would look better than the OEM. I currently have "JG" on mine to represent the wheel maker.

    Car looks great!!
