Congrats. Very nice ride, I would suggest you consider updating the tail lights and side markers to the LED type and the headlights to litronic. Really updates the look of the car and gives you better lighting at night.

Congratulations and welcome! I'm generally not a fan of black wheels, but these look great. She's a beauty. Enjoy!

Thanks for all the comments.

The red car is a 1978 Ferrari 308 GTS. Fun to drive but the 996 is much more practical.

Under the red car is my 1984 Anson SA4 FA/SV open wheel race car.

MoeMonney - Great suggestions and these will be on my list of things to do in the future.

Fister exhaust in going on next week.

Moemoney - What tail lights/side markers do you recommend to replace with in order to upgrade to LED?


Moving to Litronics cost $000s.... I wouldn't have upgraded to that, but luckily mine came with them already on.
