    What do you guys think the best color combo is for a 348tb or 348ts.
    IMO black over black is so right for this model.

    I actually like the silver.

    You so rarely see it in anything other than black, yellow, silver, or red. Blues became really popular when Ferrari released a blue 355 in its press photos. So, before that having anything beyond those 4 was really unusual.

    Edit: or white, I suppose, was a relatively common color. But you definitely didn't have the same range as now.

    I thought about blue but I could not find a clean one. The first photo is when I picked it up fro Steve Harris Imports in Utah, the second one after I owned for about 3 months, new wheels and shields!

    Personally, I'm partial to black/black with special order tan seats. :)
    Of course, any time the rockers are painted to match the body, it greatly improves the car's visual appeal.

    I've always been partial to black on black....but maybe I'm bias.

    Forgive the quality of the pics.

    Wow, silver over red... I'm speechless. A ts too! Is it a '94(?), I notice the skirts are body color but I'm not sure what year they started doing that?

    You really do have a jaw dropping ride... heck, its my new wallpaper!! :)

    Happy Driving!

    For a tb or ts, I prefer black 'cause it gives the car a more recent look. Those early models always had black skirts and I didn't like that very much on a yelow or white example. 348's look better with skirts in body colour like they did on the later models.

    To be precise...
    348 tb / 1989-93 / 81617-96679
    348 ts / 1989-93 / 81651-96964
    348 Serie Speciale (US) / 1993 / 92812-95863
    348 Spider / 1993-95 / 96520-99627
    348 GTB / 1993-94 / 96937-99364
    348 GTS / 1993-94 / 96826-99197
    348 GT Competizione (Europe)/ 1994
    348 Challenge / based on different 348's

    The skirts on some earlier models were repainted in body color...

    Overal, a 348 looks best in black, yellow or silver IMO.
    But I wouldn't mind owning another color either :D

    Greets, Alexander

    I agree with Alexander, although I've seen 348s tb/ts where the black parts had been given the same colour as the rest of the body.

    Black/black would be nice, but IMO black/red or black/tan looks a little more livelier.

    I love the car in silver as well, especially with a red interior. Red and blue are great too. Not too fond of yellow and I don't like white. Then again, I don't like white for anything else than a company van.

    Black/black is an unlivable color down here in Texas in the summertime.

    I guess I must like silver, I came out of a Anthracite/Black 308gtsi to a Silver/Tan 328gtsi and now the Silver/Red 348ts, the red took a little time to get use to. But it is a great color combo IMHO. Its a 1991, the lower rocker panels were painted before I purchased it from Steve Harris (Sean was great to work with). I flew from LA to check it out and drive it. I had this photo of the interior so thought I would post it for you all to see. I had to have the aluminum pedals and shifter, other then that its stock. But I keep thinking about an exhaust system or removing the cats and putting strait pipes on it, but living in California, its not easy dealing with the DMV.

    P.S. I keep hearing stories about early 348's, I must say I have not experienced any of those grimlins, but that cars has had every update done including the single plate clutch?

    I like my '90 Gregio Metalic 348tb with gray and black interior. It is the only one I have heard or in that color combination.

    That is awsome, but I will not rest until I find a Black/Creme 348 tha twill fit my budget. It must be black fo rme. All my cars are black and I just have to have a black 348. I think they look badass in black.
