    Really like the 250 GTO stripe. I would try to follow the hood lines which match the interior lines, with the stripe being the exact color match for the interior, and end the stripe at the interior (it would not continue on the trunk). I think Carbon's car with a very faint gunmetal grey stripe and matching interior would be amazing.

    When we do our deal Carbon...................not an Enzo but......................

    Nice work!

    Would the stripe look more interesting starting a bit more narrow at the top of the hood near the windscreen, just clearing either side of the central vent opening and then getting wider toward the nose of the car? The stripe in the rear could be more narrow to match.

    What do you think? Can you make one like this?

    Hey Carb, I think you have gotten it about as good as one can get it but even like that, unfortunately, you can still kinda see it. :(

    I think it's a great-looking car and I can't wait to see it in person - in any color!


    Grant, I love the narrow stripe..!

    If you're going for the "historic" look, I think the wide stripe is better, but if you want to know what looks best in this car, I think a straight stripe the width of the scoop without the outward curve would be the shiznit.

    Dunno guys, that contrasting stripe makes the car look like a Nike basketball shoe of some sort....

    Thank you kindly.

    Personally i like the wider stripe. There are creases on the hood that line up. But s/n 1499 that the whole stripe idea i am basing it on IS a thinner one.

    I think is a very nice combo

    here is Nicolas' shots of the show. A couple of pics of the Nero one at the Ferrari stand and one further down his page of a Silverstone one at what looks to be the Pininfarina booth.

    I wanted to get some positive input on color choices. I really like the california in black and recently saw the post that showed a color in "nero metillizato" and thought it looked great in that color. Is that a new color? I only see nero daytona listed on the configurator but heard from my dealer that there might be a new color that was between black and silverstone.

    Any input on the interior colors? Here are some configurations I put together. I am attracted to the interior that is black with tan inserts and piping as I think it is more striking but am concerned with a black exterior it might be too dark? Is there a way to get the lower dash in beige? I could not find that option.

    All of the other postings have been very helpful! Tough choices! Thanks in advance.
