Progress: F430
I hate Ferrari, I'll admit it. But this car is so damn sexy. I've begun it, and am completely enamoured with it. I don't know why. Well, I've some ideas, but they're rather odd.
This is the Fujimi Option Parts kit, with the cooler rims and the cooler seats. I really didn't care for the original wheels, and didn't want to put CE28s or anything on this car, so I waited for this version to ship from HLJ. The wheels seem just a tad too small, so to hide it I've grabbed some tires from my spares box that have a thicker sidewall, and they look good to me now. Plus, I got to get rid of the no-name, bizarrely narrow, and uninspired looking tires (the kit ones may be correct for the car, but I don't know. Nor do I really care, these look better to me. Better sidewall, better tread, and they're wide!). Color will be Cobra Colors Rosso Corsa; the only Ferrari in my stable will be red. I'll be working on this off and on in the gaps of the Healey that is giving me so much trouble.  Look at all that progress! Get out of the way! I will finish this so fast you're head will spin 'round and fall off!

Re: Progress: F430
Lookin' good.
The optional rims scale out to 18", they're supposed to be 19's  They did that w/the Sportec rims in the Gallardo as well

 Looking great, Will. I enjoy your builds, and love the subject of this particular one. Good call on those tires. They look at least eleventy-billion percent better.
