    Yellow--With my biz name on it. Using the car as a rolling billboard..Alot easier to write off anything related to the car at tax time...

    Looks great in black. White is a pain in the neck to keep clean, feel like carrying a handky every time I drive the car.

    285ferrari,

    Very Nice! The yellow with black wheels make for good contrast, not to mention the red calipers now stand out! Very NICE!! With the challenge wheels now mounted did you go with stock tire sizes or did you use wider sizes and if so what sizes. Fit looks clean and tight.

    PS. Garage looks awesome as well!

    Ciao,

    SRR

    Your car, well is "the baddest Ferrari F355F1 on the planet"! You truly are THE MAN.

    Second, I couldn't be happier to hear the stickynomore is being swamped. I hope it brings you everything you well-deserve (e.g., an Enzo)!

    Best,

    Scott

    P.S. Most people will think "stickynomore" is a porn business/sight! LOL

    No curbs for me--Luckily around here, not many curbs to deal with when parking. Usually open lots with lines...

    Robbie,

    I like that black matte paint color what do you call it and what is the surface texture called?

    Splatter Black is the color name, but can't remember the maker of the powder. I can find out for you if you wish..

    They came out really nice. The decals are a very nice finishing touch. I hope to see them in Richmond this fall.

    Doubt the decals will last. They are a low tac adhesive on them and with the texture, I anticipate the first time I drive it above 50 they are going to fly off, but will find out tomorrow...

    Yes I'd like to find out the paint name and see if it comes in different colors too. I would like to do a harness bar for my 55o with the texture spatter. Is it a powder coat or a paint? Also, do you think even if it is a powdercoat that you can spray clear over the wheel so the decal stays on?
