    I'm not normally a fan of 19s on the 348 but I really like those, especially the fact that the color matched. What wheels are those?

    BTW, very nice job on the engine bay. Looks super clean. :)

    Very nice! - The 19" alloys work really well and I love the interior! :)

    The only thing I'd change is the front Cavallino badge for the smaller version.

    Thanks! Color matching them was inspired. I like that color on wheels anyway and the fact that they match makes them look like they belong on the car. I think that's the best looking 19" treatment I've seen on a 348. Would love to see a shot of the rear that shows the 305s. I have a set of 295s waiting to go on my car but lots of stuff on the to-do list before that happens so it'd be fun to see a wide sneaker shot of your car if you have one.

    BTW, do you happen to know how much you lowered it? That's another thing that really makes those 19s work well on that car.

    They might well be lighter, which really helps the ride. The stock wheels are heeeeavy. :(

    What size did you go with on the front?

    Perfect. That color is really growing on me and the wheels with the red interior make it pop.

    Wow. Spectacular work! The color and the wheels really do 'modernize' the car. It looks like something that just came out. I'm not a fan of red interiors, but yours is the perfect 'pop' for an overall aesthetic.

    Congratulations. Your car truly looks like a FERRARI!

    Just noticed you're missing both screw covers on the lower lamp sets - I'm missing one of mine.

    What happens to these covers? Do they come loose and just fall off?

    I've checked My one remaining cover and it seems to be well and truly firmly attached (in fact it seems to Me that it could take a fair old bit of effort to remove it!).

    The front fog lamps is a film cause they are glass all the other lights we do with black base coat and clear coat I own a autobody repair shop so they will not fade and dull out you can do different shades if any one wants there's done we can turn them out quick if you send then to us
