    Sorry, it looks like it has a thousand body panel gaps. Not working at all in that side/rear three quarter view.

    Black helps it most, IMO.

    +1 That's one of the problems with the car in pics, IMO. The rear quarter angled fit lines are strange.. don't look Ferrari-like to me. This car definitely looks better in darker colors. I'm still reserving my final opinion until I see one in person in the light of day, and can really see the proportions and details such as gaps, curved upper vs. angular lower body lines, etc. etc.

    Is the A-Pillar in Carbon Fiber?

    Nice pictures Phil. Slowly, really slowly growing on me.

    Interesting question. I have not heard of that as an option.

    I have seen pics in light blue (azzuro?), red and silver and in each of the shots the A-pillar is painted the matching body color.

    Whatever the answer, I like the look of the "black" A-pillars. It might only work on a white car, but it makes more visual sense when the top is down. The windshield will give the appearance of wrapping around as opposed to it looking like there are two white "goal posts" sticking up.

    Yeah, with tinted windows, that might suit it a lot more.

    OK. Question answered. Just returned from my dealer. There is a cost-option available to have the A-pillars painted black. It is not a carbon-fiber option.

    Wow.

    I can't believe today is the day I say this: I am sold. I always thought the California looked like crap when it came out, but WOW. This white Cali just looks absolutely amazing.

    Can someone photochop black or titanium wheels and lower it just a touch? A more aggressive stance and profile will improve the cars overall looks by quite a bit.

    I really like the "floating" windshield option. Gives it a retro look.

    There is an option for a carbon fiber A-pillar along with side mirrors. Also carbon fiber front spoiler, rear diffuser and rear license plate surround.
