In Progress - Porsche Carrera GT
I've been working on this for a few days now, and I must say this kit is very nice. It was engineered for ease of painting. It would be a pain to mask and paint the interior pieces separately, but Tamiya made it easy and made them all separate pieces.
This will be a box-stock build. I was happy to see Kunta choose blue for his, as I wanted to build a red version. Mine will be Scuderia Red. I have sprayed all the metallic interior pieces and the wheels Titanium Gold instead of Titanium Silver. I think it will compliment the bright red the body will become. It looks a bit harsh now, but after detail painting I think it will tone down a bit and look nice. All of the pieces have now been sprayed the base color, and the body has been prepped for primer. Here's some teaser pics.

Re: In Progress - Porsche Carrera GT
No fair, your thinking the same colors I was thinking plus I still haven't recieved my carrera gt from hlj and it has been 15 days. Well, as sweet as yours is looking I am going to have to just make mine Red with silver wheels and accents with a cream interior. Looking good man, great inspiration you have her.
