Looks nice, you take good pics and the results look very nice. I guess the days of Ferraris not having tons of orange peel are gone though.

This is the car that I mention when people say "if you hit the lottery what would you buy?"

I had the opportunity to drive one briefly last summer.....wow what an experience.

I was never really a modern Ferrari fan. But nice detailing.

You're right that it makes it even worse, and I don't understand why anyone gets clear bras, but the deck lid and rear bumper have pretty bad orange peel too. I haven't even started complaining about the silly fake exhaust finishers or the oddball tail lights yet.

A guy down the street from me has a black one that resolves a lot of the odd angles on that car, but I just don't think there will ever be a folding hard top car that doesn't look awful. The new Z4 comes as close as I've seen to not looking too awkward though.

Detailing still looks great, and the interior treatment looks perfect, just the right low gloss sheen to really make it look clean and like it should. Well done.
