Silver and black pack is one of the nicest combinations to my mind. I've only seen it once in a coupe and I thought it showed off the shape of the car perfectly. But they are all good.

Hey, sweet ride! I just decided on getting a Polaris white F type R the dealer has but it does not have the black pack. I like what you've done with the black pack; was that after market or did you get it done through the dealer? Also, would you mind posting some additional pics of the powder coated rims? Thinking of doing the same. Thanks!

Default To be honest....

Im taking parts into the bodyshop on my Polaris/black to have them matched to polaris.

If you objectively look at the car, the chrome or black vents and louvers clash with the sexy lines of the car. Ferrari's bodies are smooth and flowing and so should the F. The body of the F is too small to have contrasting grills and louvers as it breaks up the lovely lines of the car. The contrasting parts have always looked ricey to me. Our eyes should glide across the bodies of our cars without all the distractions of black and chrome and the body itself should be a solid shape. I do like black or black carbon mirrors for the very same reason. There's no white to interrupt the flow of the shape of the car.

Now if you look at a white Vanquish, they use contrasting vents and louvers but the difference is the car is far bigger and the contrast works. Not so much for the tiny F.

Will post pics as soon as my tasks are done.

I like both of those looks myself. The black pieces are OK in my book; all personal taste. The true beauty of your car is the lack of the big sills + no body painted diffuser to make the back end look tall/big.

Very nice. Your car style, inc the black rims + black pack in Polaris or Salsa = stunning.
