Thanks, I did them at home in my garage, all solid black, but that garage still doesn't look great.
It isn't dry walled and I just sprayed the unfinished wood white.
The two tone tiles look great.

Definite honeymoon stage, but I think I might like driving this more than my Porsche.

The difference in sound is because your F-Type had a cross-plane crank, and the Ferrari has a flat-plane crank. As you noticed, one is more muscular, the other more "exotic".
I can tell you I enjoy driving my Ferrari more than driving my Porsche. But the driving enjoyment level is quite high with the XK. They're just so different in their own ways.

How can 0-60 in 2.6 and 10 second 1/4 miles be boring, but it is just so easy to do.
