Holy crap Shawn! Congrats! Details?

Congrats Shawn. Love the red.

Thx! I was looking at a 2004 Ferrari 360 spider and my friend showed me the light and introduced me to a 2008 GT2 at Scottsdale Ferrari. The car has 14k miles, carbon seats and some painted parts in the cabin. The PCM has been removed in leu of $20k in Focal audio equipment. I will have rims cleaned, stripped and powder coated as I can not stand the chrome. Car is well known at Scottsdale Porsche and it has been well maintained.

Congrats!! Good call on the wheels. Awesome car!

Whoa...now that's how you start a new year! Great looking car.

Great choice, but of course I am biased. :)

Rather than redo the chrome wheels, why not invest in something lightweight - those OEM wheels are very heavy anchors.

Beautiful car! Only 200 or so made!!

Night and day difference between that and the 360, great call. You know you got EVOMS right there in town. If I was you I would take full advantage and transform it.
Love the red, and agree about getting rid of the chrome.

That's a winner

Good point on the wheels. Have you considered picking out something, new, forged, light-weight, and baddass? It's a great way to lighten the car and update the look to make it yours. You won't regret it....as long as you choose wisely.

Wow! What an awesome trade! My favorite color too! Congrats on the new ride!

That grin on the pic says it all. Congrats, good call on the wheels it was the first thing that hit me. Not a bad idea to upgrade them either.
