    Here're a couple of cell phone pictures.

    Even my wife who never cares anything about cars said "wow". It looks better if you don't stand too close. I think the best thing I did was having the guy wrap a piece of matte black film in the shaded area at the dealership.

    I have a Porsche TT and love the way it drives. But this car is in a different league.

    I really have to thank all the guys here who gave me the great advice. I will post some more pictures later.

    The wrap is very interesting. Would like to see that done with Silverstone or TDF.

    Cool idea on the wrap. Makes the car look way better. Ferrari should take a look at doing that whole section in Carbon Fiber instead of the way they do the sill area currently. You should ask for some royalties.

    You'll have to spend 30 minutes dropping the difuser and installing golf tees into the vacum lines for the exhaust. What a great result!

    Porsche TT is likely the 911 or as some call it the 997 'Twin Turbo' model.

    I agree the red looks spectacular but we need to see pics of that darker than tan interior!
