Red 328 Owners: Why not do this?

I think it looked better before.

 

Do not care enough either way to invest the effort.

 

I always wondered why you don't do this.........

 

or this...................

 

How about this?

 

I just noticed that the other day. On some cars 308s/328s, they are painted red and on some others (like mine) they are painted black. Anyone have an idea which is correct?

Depends on the year of the 308. 84 and 85 QVs have the color of the car painted there where as pre-84 cars are painted black like yours. Both are correct.

 

Ah, I thought that might be the case. Thanks for the info.

 

The World's Best Car Manufacturer & Automotive Design House came up with the 328, And if Ferrari & Pininfarina designed the 328 with a body coloured 'B' pillar then that's how it should be, IMO they got it perfectly right !

Wait...already done it...

 

I'm glad someone saw the humor........ I had a little too much time on my hands.......

 

Why is there a penis stuck on the front of your fcar ?

 

I had to look twice after reading your'e post, now thats funny.

 

Balance. I dont like the way it looks on the front spoiler/valance or rear valence. I like how it looks under the doors.

 

No, don't think so. Still like the original color scheme best.

 

There's been some debate lately about the A and B pillar colors here as well. Mine are body colored (78 308 GTS) but I've seen identical years with black. Kind of like my "boxer trim", was it original?? Who knows and really who cares unless you plan on seriously entering a concours event. I say as long as you like it and it looks good then good for you!

 

I like the original scheme because I am used to it.

Just like the wheels...initially I prefer the non-ABS (concave), but having looked at many and now own an '89 328, I am now used to the "'ugly" convex
one and prefer it.

 

I like the red B-pillar and black lower valences on my 328GTS, but I am considering eventually painting the roof in body color. I've seen several other GTS's done that way and I think they look much better.

 

looks alright. not much of a difference imo.

 

Folks,
That photo you are playing with is my recently purchased 328.
The car is beautiful. Now please, stop messing with it.

I've always felt that 308s & 328s look more aggressive and exotic in black, and it has the advantage of making the GTSs look more like GTBs.

But in the hot southern climate black cars are just too hot. I know one black GTS owner here who has the luxury of being able to park his car indoors while he's at work, plus he has a tan interior which also helps. But if you don't have that luxury, black cars are best left for more moderate climates.
