    Congrats. I don't think I have ever seen a blacked out 550. It looks great.

    Congratulations... the 550 looks great! And might I add - quite an impressive garage you have there! I really like the rear lights - not something you see everyday... I remember having the lights on my old silver NSX sprayed like that...

    What kind of wheels are those?

    Wheels are 19" HRE's - I actually really like them.

    Garage space is getting a bit cramped; the 550 is taking center stage for the moment.

    Very nice, and I think the wheels really set off the car. Enjoy.

    Thanks for all the compliments (including the dissenter)!

    There was something subtle, but unique about the car when I first saw it. Guess it was love at first sight. In my opinion, the wheels do set the car apart: perhaps because they are 19's, combined with the polished outer lip that seems to make the overall look a bit more aggressive, further accentuating the silver color of the car. Probably the same reasons as far as the blacked out tailights.

    The silver car is a GT3, but the black one has a sunroof. I remember Fred used to have a Carrera with an aerokit. That might be the car in the pic even though the rear spoiler looks more like the GT2's with droopy ends.
