    Been a busy couple of weeks. Will do a recap on the header install this week. Had a trip to Palm Springs and visited Grant and Rick so will post photos of that soon also.

    Heading to LA this week and will visit some interesting Ferrari places.

    Guido and Paul, owners from Canada came in from a visit and drive over the weekend. Great times.

    Out with Grant last week in Palm Springs...

    Great day with the cars. One thing you will notice is that he has removed the front and rear bumper side reflectors. It has a really clean look now.

    Rick had sold his Red F355 GTS recently and went for the black and gold. It looked stunning. We happened to link up with Henry as well out with his wife in another red car that day.

    But funny as it was, I thought the door handle was super cool like the F355. It was a much cooler design than the standard handles on the F430 and 360.

    Really wish I could have joined you guys on the drive up to Idyllwild. My car is stored in a garage overlooking Hwy 243 and probably heard you all coming up the road for lunch (Grants car for sure). Although I'm going to miss seeing Rick in the old 355, his new 430 is one sweet ride. Thanks for taking the time to track me down for at least a few minutes of bonding on your way through town. I need to take my car out for a little jaunt just as soon as last nights snowfall melts.

    Finished up some architectural photography today at the AMC Networks - creators of Breaking Bad, Walking Dead, and Mad Men...

    So while in town, decided to go see some Ferrari related places.

    First to see Ferrari of Los Angeles in their temporary space while the new dealership is being constructed.

    The manager Stefano Sbettega showed me around. They had a new 488 GTB that I thought looked great in white. I wasn't sure I would like it in person but I'm happy to report it looks great.

    The dealership had a red F355 spider up on the lift and a red F355 Berlinetta parked awaiting a major. Sorry I was unable to shoot these customer cars...

    But they also had another 360 challenge for sale owned by the dealership. It was originally red but now painted black with a wing and center locks.

    Thanks for sharing this entire series, Robb. Really great to get the insight into what went into my own 355's Fabspeeds (2011 install, 3 owners before me). Mine have what looks to be the ceramic coating –*they're not chromed and reflective, but matte and gray. (Is that right?)

    Yes, that is what the ceramic coating looks like. I'm sure they will do well for you.
