    It was delivered on Friday, sorry for the late post but I was busy driving! I bought it from DC motors in CA, and Todd was great to work with. After three weeks at Orange County Ferrari for PPI the car is finally here. Mechanically VERY solid car, just some cosmetic issues such as the dash shrinkage...which will be fixed soon.

    MUCH more exciting to drive than my Porsche C4S cab. I received more comments, looks and thumbs up on day one than the entire year I had the Porsche. I came out of a resturant on Saturday to prople taking pics of the car...now that's cool.

    I just added to the registry, so now I am offical!

    Very nice!!! Normally, I'm not a fan of aftermarket wheels on these cars, but I REALLY like those color matched 3 piece wheels on your car. Congrats on the new ride.

    Great car!!!! Looks beautiful! I just checked out the DC motors site, they have some nice cars... I especially like the 360 challenge for 99K. I wonder if that is street legal....

    Definitely not stock 355 wheels, but they (and the car) look great!! Try not to wet your pants when you inevitably go out into the garage tonight just to look at it again. This is assuming that you will not be sleeping in it.

    Thanks for all of the compliments!!! Here are some of the details:

    1. Front bumper skid plates
    2. Tubi Exhaust
    3. Carbon Fiber lateral engine protection
    4. All silicone hoses in the engine compartment
    5. Brembo GT brakes, front and rear
    6. 19" Wheels, painted to match
    7. Lowered slightly, using adjustable suspension, within factory spec.
    8. New belly pans (didn't like scratches)
    9. Upgraded stereo with DVD, 600w amp, sub etc.
    10. Carbon fiber interior upgrades:
    ---Center Console, and console fillers.
    ---Trim around stereo
    ---Trim around instruments
    ---Entire instrument cover
    ---Door skins
    ---Trim around both hood and engine release
    ---trim around upper dash defroster vents
    ---Paddle shifters
    11. Custom guages in yellow to match car

    I am sure there is more, just can't think of it now.

    Oh yeah:

    Carbon Mirror pillar covers
    Aluminum pedals and foot rest

    Some of the bad:
    1. Dash needs recovering
    2. Interior door handles need refinishing (Big suprise)
    3. Seats poorly recovered, what a shame I might have to get a carbon set!
    4. Tweeters mounted in the upper door, these are being removed and relocated.
    5. Needs carbon fiber ash tray.
