And it begins.......

I picked up my CS (in the "new white") from the dealer less than a week ago. Two days after I picked her up we installed Fabspeed cat deletes and Fabspeed exhaust tips. We're finishing up the turbo front end right now....looks pretty good! Trying to get the LED wiring just the way I want it at the moment.



Tomorrow we install Brembos front & rear as well as my 20 inch winter wheels/rubber. Much more to come....

Looks great! How did the paint come out on the bumper compared to the rest of the car? I know white can sometimes be hard to match even when using the same color code.

Well..the turbo still wouldnt have brakes like Im putting on (unless you opted for the ceramic brakes which adds $$ to the turbo build). My CS was $96K...less the 6% discount I negotiated. A turbo would have been at least $130K....so roughly a 30K difference. This is a difference I just couldnt swing right now. The turbo front end was $1600 plus another 1K in paint (not including my time). So Im still no where near the cost of a turbo. Im sure in the future I'll be trading up to a CTT....but that day is not today.

I would have thought about the CS with a Turbo bumper. I ordered the Turbo, however, likely would get a CS or GTS model in future. Love the power, don't use it enough. Now with the Ferrari here, just seems somewhat redundant.
