    Eddie, beautiful Bentley! Clearly white is the new theme in the Plastique999 garage for 2013 :)

    BTW, I think your Bentley was photo'd in front of my friend's D.C. home (at least it was his before his big D, now he just pays for it! :()

    You guys would be the first people I'd contact for a car run/meet.
    Sadly, this was a solo drive up about 5 min. from my house for some scenery.
    Let's meet up on 2/2 guys - C&C!

    I hope not to follow your friend's path :)

    It's funny you mention that - I kind of thought of it as a huge, whole-car clear bra with an aesthetic twist.
    Ironically, the price was probably cheaper than a customized clear bra.

    I'm reposting these pics from a Novitec Scuderia thread. What do you folks think about the white/grey look? Ignore the wheels, as I'm keeping mine stock.

    Just wondering if I should 'copy' this look via wrap, or keep my stock Silverstone w/ stripe.

    I'm thinking keep stock, but this white thread has me curious...

    Don, in all honesty, I love the look of your Scud and would keep it as is.
    I've seen the Novitec Scud, and tho it looks different, I think original paint scheme on a Scud looks best. If I had a Scud, I wouldn't have wrapped it. A 430 sometimes needs some sprucing up.

    Thanks Jerry - maybe see you at C&C on 2/2

    Eddie, let's do 2/2 C&C!

    Don, I actually like your car the way it is. It's a classy look with the stripes. Novatech would give it a slutty flavor which is ok, too! Classy it slutty?

    I disagree. It looks amazing when done well, such as Ed's 430, and terrible when done poorly, seams visible, terrible fading, and just when not clean.

    You are correct...it is a fad, but it's one that gives the owner the option of being able to cheaply and easily change the paint color of their car which previously was only available through the option of painting the car, it also allows removability and protection from rocks and other objects flying on the roadway. Also, with a Ferrari...resale is a key issue, if you paint a Ferrari, the price will go down, when you wrap it, you don't do anything to the value of the car and you still have a car with original paint.

    I get it though, as you said...it's a matter of personal taste, and to each his own, but I like it!

    This is Jason, saw your F430 at Lotus meet in Newport Lotus last week. They did an amazing job.

    Hey Jason, thanks!

    What did you think of the Evora IPS?
    I was impressed by the tranny - very smooth. Also bad quite the punch!

    Amazing. Helps when the base is black. For rosso they'd have to do the door insides and that'd be a real pain. Lovely spider you've got there.

    Ed, I didn't drive the Evora IPS as I left early. Actually saw you again at Southcoast Plaza later that day, I didn't wave, because I wasn't sure that was you. You might have saw me as well. I was in white GTR.

    After seeing your F430, now I am thinking about getting my black Gallardo wrapped in white.

    Oh yea, buddy of mine and I went to go eat at Scott's Seafood. He was driving my 430 and I was driving his Vantage that day.

    Yea a black G wrapped white would look stunning! Let me know if you decide to do it.

    Thank you!

    Thanks! I love your car.. That will be my next F car purchase.

    THANKS!
    I bought this one a few years back for a great price, its a 3 pedal and I can just enjoy driving and modding it not worrying about "loosing value".. If I wanted to buy a car to sit around and collect dust I would have gone for a real CS.
