    Black is beautiful!!! Congratulations!

    It has been raining here for the past 7 days. I have only driven my new to me 2003 3 times since I got it.

    Hoping to get mine out today or tomorrow to stretch her legs. Enjoy yours!!!!

    Congrats!! Sounds like you're going to have a great day!

    On the clear bra, it really is a personal preference. I personally don't care for them, but some swear by them. I have an '08 with 6K miles on it with no rock chips and no clear bra btw.

    Congrats and she looks like a beauty of a car!!!

    The top up look on the 360 only works with black IMO.

    I agree... black (while hard to keep clean) in my opinion rocks...2 hours until blast off!

    Do the clear bra. A subtle line is way better than the chicken pox from stone chips.

    Have fun and be safe!

    Your car is fantastic, congratulations! The black looks great (our 2003 is also black).

    We also have the clear bra top prevent stone chips.

    Go Clear Bra!

    I have had one on my previous 2 toy cars and my wife's car has one. Plus my 2003 Spider got hers the day she arrived from Italy. I have the invoice from the original owner. Because of it 17k miles later her nose looks as God and Enzo intended, "Smooth and Unblemished!!"

    Only word of advice, don't go cheap. Make sure the Clear Bra has a 5-7 year warranty with full replacement if problems occur (fading, peeling, yellowing, etc.). Plus do research on the installer and make sure they have plenty of experience on your type of car. This is not Window Tint. It has a lot more curves and crevices.

    Good luck!!

    If there are no chips do the clear bra and I agree about finding the best installer in town. My business partner went cheap and it looks wavy. Mine is invisible except for the line.

    If you have a couple of chips you can Dr. Colorchip them prior to clear bra.

    Black will especially show the chips.

    congrats - these are the best posts

    if you are in Toronto - consider getting your car wrapped by Marco at advancedmobilegroup.net - I have no vested interests or connection to them other than being a very satisfied customer!

    first impression (and 100 miles later)...WOW. The car is so tight and responsive...a lot more corfortable than the 911 I had! Quick question...the F1 shifts seemlessly at low(ish) RPM (between 3500 and 4000), but under power and higher RPM (5000-6000) there is a slight pause before the gear in engaged... is this normal?

    Gorgeous! No clear bra! Keep her naked! And contrary to popular opinion, she will NOT melt in the rain, drive her anyway!

    Moving from Porsche to Ferrari ... an exponentional increase in feelings, beautiful sounds, and attention! I had three 928's over the years and these Ferrari's are a far more moving experience.

    Have fun,

    Rick
