Nice! I'm used to seeing these all the time though -well at least the Modena 360's, the body shop my bro works at currently has 4 they are working on. Oh, and plus a Laborghini Murcielago, Aston Martin DB9 and a Ferrari Maranello just to name a few. The only cars that I've seen in person that have actually gotten me riled up are the Ferrari Enzo, Shelby Cobra (real thing not the replica) and the Ferrari Maranello

Yeah, I' ve always thought the F360 looks better than the new F430 when I look at them seperately, but putting them side by side can change the impression, & I agree with you.

Actually, I found the same with the 2GS & 3GS. I always thought the 3GS is a step back from the 2GS in design, until this past Sunday at a Lexus dealer. They have a brand new leftover 2GS next to the 3GS in the showroom,after looking & examining them together carefully at different angles, while there may be certain design elements that I still prefer in the 2GS, & the 3GS looks bulkier, but overall I think the 2GS has nothing on the 3GS in terms of appearance in stock form. You may not agree with me though, since I' ve never owned a 2GS so I don't have a sentimental attachment to the model.

a bit OT, and imho just wait till you see a 3gs lowered. i have never been a fan of the 3gs, but once i saw the commercial and then the car in person, and then some ps of the car lowered, i think it's going to match up well against the 2gs

Oh, it's a collision, paint, repair and detail shop that deals mostly with high-end cars

Here are some of the cars they've worked on
