Isn't there any problem on painting the carbon fiber? I'm interested on painting my CF splitter @ matte black

Painted just the side leaving the center in carbon:


Full carbon with no paint:
either of the first two options are great. not so crazy about the full carbon/no paint.

Great taste in cars. I've had many of the same including Evo, 3 NSX, 2 Z3M coupe and roady, Elise. Athough I've had a 993 that was done up with coil overs, GT3 body, BBS etc I can only imagine a 997 GT3.

So when you say its such a great car how so - compared to the others? Its not as exotic as Lotus, 355 or NSX, doesn't steer like Evo 8 (but then nothing does), isn't as fast as the GT3 etc. But somehow it probably feels like a mixture of elements from them all?

What makes you smile when you get in? I'm particularly asking in lieu of all the other cars you have at the same time. If the C63 were your only beast I would understand your enthusiasm. But it seems to be a favorite despite some serious garage siblings. So when you get in it do you:

1. oggle the focused interior - its more focused in the GT3.
2. Oggle the power - again GT3 is faster
3. Oggle its handling - several of your cars handle better
4 oggle how much fun it is with 4 doors - ah this may be the winner... But wait, the Evo may be just as much if not more fun and had 4 doors as well.

Tell us... What is it about the car that makes you get in it instead of all the other winners in the stable???
