Same, full body, including the metal rocker panel covers, no ppf on the fender flares.
I agree with everything C.J. said much better than I could. I do really enjoy Lambo from a brand experience. Part of it is my local dealer, which is by far the chillest, ethical, customer focused dealer I've ever done business with. Customers are sort of a really wide background, from the hustle 24/7 YOLO crowd who want to flex a Lambo to people that are still 12 year olds at heart that like crazy looks and loud noises. I do however find that owners generally are excited about the brand in general and are less judgemental of how anyone uses their car.
Cars themselves are nearly bulletproof...a little quirky, but more modern ones drive incredibly well. The Sterrato will be a long term keeper... it's both ridiculous but incredibly practical for just having fun.
I do really want a Dakar as well, for the same reasons that make the Sterrato amazing, but for something that I can drive to the office and be a bit more subtle and road trip with more storage. $325k-ish however feels like poor value so we'll see where prices move (though it does feel like a lot of people are thinking the same, so maybe prices don't drop too much).

Probably want to avoid owning a Lambo in Manhattan. Stock exhaust earns a $800 ticket. Wouldn't surprise me if such things don't stop at NY. I've never owned a Lambo but always liked the extroversion.

I think the Sterrato is actually a much better car for my use case than a GT car. I'm thinking about picking up this spec ... Bianco Monocerus with Verde Scandal calipers and interior accents. Thinking maybe stealth/matte PPF would work nicely as well. Thoughts?

Love the spec! Personally, I would keep the gloss to contrast with the matte black parts. I wish I didn’t go satin. It’s too matte. This thing slay miles as a road car.

Yea, hard call! On one hand, it would help hide some of the dust/dirt and I do think matte body work it's fitting for the Sterrato ... but on the other hand you lose the contrast between glossy and matte parts!

Agree with CJ - the Sterrato and Dakar have very different personalities but are great in their own way's... they work best in bad road / bad weather conditions and create fun even at low speed levels... and they are not a GT car - no need to compare to a GT3/4/RS...
Mine are in green - shade green Dakar, Ice Green Metallic (Porsche Color) Sterrato.

Did you do your car with Zack at the NY Lounge? Painted wheels was only for alpha AdP builds in US...not on the configurator, but he suggested I do them on one of the schemes I was considering. I think non-US cars got broader access to AdP items.

I did do that but he never mentioned! But to be fair it was an afterthought for me after getting it and also comparing with the Dakar.
I reckon I might get another set of wheels, paint them white and slap on winters for variety.

Fun fact - the paint is Porsche Ice Green Metallic (930 launch color for Australian market) - Porsche code Y64/266 - In Lamborghini language - "Verde Crystallus" - 1st Lamborghini painted in this color...

Here are two from a C&C this summer. Unfortunately, neither of them are mine. But if I had to pick, I would go with the Sterrato as the one time I own a Lambo and drive for a couple of years and the Dakar as a keeper for the permanent collection.
