As i'm on the lookout for a 488 and i'm pretty fussy on the spec..I looking for one in RC and one i've seen has the gloss black roof with the RC body..Is this a good combo or is the 488 better with matching RC roof.?.

What do you think is better? You will be driving it so which do you think looks better?

I haven't seen a black roof RC in the metal, just wondering if anyone had particular views either way.

I think you'll get lots of views on it. The usual camp prefers a monotone color. Depending on the style you are going for, it can be a nice deviation. There's a million photos on autogespot.com, especially in red with and without of course. I would trove through those for a few hours and see the different angles and appearances. Both can look quite nice.

You won't find as many as the all same color but there's a lot to look at. Surely not as many people option it because it isn't as widely desired. But then again there are a lot of red ones out there, so it is one way of distinguishing your vehicle!

My new purchase is all black and I love it. I did look at some two tone models and am happy with my single color.

Buy monoclor and if you want a contrast roof, just wrap it. Couple hundred bucks and if you hate it, just get rid of it.

I had a GT3 then a 488 and now GT3RS. The 488 is the best car I've ever owned. I regret selling it. The torque was intoxicating, so effortless.
