    That there is one damn nice lookin' car.
    I agree that these are prettier like this than with the louvers.
    Very cool.

    Looks great....




    So, obvious that most Ferrari owner love the GTB more than GTS... why price of GTS stay up higher...??? Could it be that the GTS is prefer more for the first time owner....???

    I really like that look! The car looks great in white as well.

    I wonder though if it would clean up the lines even further to paint the B-pillar black. Someone should photoshop it....someone much more talented than I.

    Nice, nice job.
    Regrettably being my car in Europe it is not that easy to do the job, otherwise mine could be the next.
    Anyway, even if I like the GTB look better, I by far prefer the Targa removable top. Summer time without it is priceless.

    It's a beautiful job, but I agree. Painting the b-pillar black will really make the car look like a GTB.

    I don't know that MOST Ferrari owners prefer the GTB more than the GTS. Personally, I prefer the GTS look...black loovers, roof. I also prefer US version 308s with the big bumpers...call me crazy.

    Again, I don't know that the GTB is more popular. I would guess it's the other way around, which would explain why Ferrari built more GTSs.

    I always thought a white GTB would look really great, with your great job you can really see what it would look like. Looks great.

    Attention 328 Owners:

    If you are considering this modification, please do me a favor. Keep the original parts so that when I buy your car I can bring it back to stock.


    Thank you.

    If you want an experienced source for doing the louvers, or you want closeups to help you with your project, check out

    Oops ... my post was referring to Augustine's comment. My car's black metallic so the top, spoiler and rear-quarter louvers look great as they are.

    No plans to change it.
