Rhodium does look good on GT3 and its different. The shade of blue makes it more interesting and blends in nicely. I have white on order and debating if I should change it? GT silver is nice too. uuuuuurrrrr

Macca: I've been wanting the "latest" technology, but I totally agree with you and a neighbor of mine has LEDs and I think they look "off." Less like eyes and more like something distracting. Back to xenon for me...

I don't know.
In a few short years, most cars will likely have LED's. Cars with bi-xenon lights will look dated. Sort of like the cars with older lights look now.
A car with a manual transmission and bi-xenon lights will be an antique.

That F458 is a beaut. Hope they have one at the LA show. -- My fav GT3 was the 997.1 RS in Orange w/ Black wheels. It just looked 'ready for business' compared to a 2010 RS. Maybe it was the color.

It's very personal. I never liked the snout of the 458. The back is fine.
The GT3 is perfect all around.

yes looks are very personal. i for example could never get around the GT3 rear wing, it looks - even after a lot of contemplation- like cheap suburb tuning shops.
also, the plastic front spoiler lip does not qualify as pininfarina-style.
other than that, a wonderful car, at a great price point.
probably the two cars are made for different audiences, with only me cross-shopping::))

If I'm going to be nitpicky, I don't like the lower lip in the rear bumper of the gt3, the smooth round one on the 997 gt3 was much nicer IMO.

Also, I think the rear lower vents are facing the wrong direction, and again, the 997 ones were perfect. Love the front end.. I'm going to add those old school black paint guards which went on the leading edge of rear wheel hump on turbo models in the 1980's
