Nice!
What's the life span on a wrap? I live near the beach in Florida, so I'm afraid the sun and salt wouldn't be friendly to a wrap, but I am curious...

From a purist point of view, anything that isn't the real thing, a real gt2 or gt3 is posing as one if it has the badge on it, yet it is not the true thing.
It goes back to the kit Ferrari. Just because it looks like the real thing, and some might go as far as sourcing a real Ferrari engine or better... it is posing as one, ie a "poser" because it is not the real thing.
No one is challenging what your car is capable of, they are pointing out the incorrectness of the badge. Don't take it as offensive and a challenge, because the point is true, anything claiming it be what it isnt is considered a poser.
On a lighter note, nice body work! Anyone else see any off the wall paint jobs or wraps around?

Ive gt an 03' c4s custom painted by rons auto madness in ct. pretty nasty build, 3.8 x51, fabspeed full exhuast, no cats, cold air intake, gt3 clutch, fidanza aluminum flywheel, BnM short throw shift kit, and a nasty fabspeed tune n H&R springs, she runs pretty good. goin to fabspeed on friday the 5th of august for a few dyno pulls. oh yeah the color is house of color CINDER RED, w alot of candy!! oh almost forgot, pulled all of the front drivetrain out, has 21k on it if anyones interested, its a totally dif car now, only complaint is if i get over 1k out of rear tires its a miracle!!

I am thinking a nice two-tone paint job, almost like the typical 50's american muscle car would look good too IF one could create the perfect dividing line to make the 2 colors flow like water.... Have not seen one yet that I like but... I bet there is one out there somewhere :-)
