Re: Opinions on color

Looks great!

How did you mount the FAST handheld to the back of the gauge bezel?

I disassembled it from the case it comes in and Hot Melt glued it.

Did you print it, or did you purchase it from some one? I really like the setup and am looking into doing something similar to this setup I saw in one of my Facebook groups.

Re: Opinions on color

That looks nice too, I wanted to keep the stock gauges.
A board member on here cut it for for me.
I have a thread in Fabrication on this. His info is there.

Re: Opinions on color

My personal choice wouldn't have been yellow, but they certainly look great either way. Overall the car looks great!

Re: Opinions on color

Great job on the dash. The brake calipers would look great in matching red.

Re: Opinions on color

Like the dash ,not so much the yellow. Depending on your wheels red, black or silver would work with the red better.

Re: Opinions on color

I like the yellow calipers with the red car. Kind of a Ferrari-thing going on. Yellow calipers look great behind gloss black wheels, and gloss black wheels look great on red cars. What wheels do you have or have in mind?

Re: Opinions on color


Ferrari look is kinda of what I was going for. Red calipers wouldn't stand out. The yellow pops and I think they would look great behind the Forgestar CF5 wheels. Going with 18x9 in front and 18x10 for the rear in Gunmetal Gloss finish.

Just got the wheels in last week, tires get mounted Thursday, plenty of clearance front and back with no spacers.

Re: Opinions on color

Very nice. I've been looking at those, but in black or bronze. Very cool. Glad to see someone else running them. Seen a few running the F14, and only ONE other black thirdgen running CF5.

Re: Opinions on color

I was going to go with the F14s but opted for the CF5. I thought the Gunmetal Gray would be a little darker but I love the way it looks. Can't wait to get it on the ground. Going to run 275/35 in the front and 295 /30 in the rear.

Re: Opinions on color

My boss’ Red 488 GTB had yellow calipers. But it also had the yellow on the Ferrari symbols on the wheel centers, front of hood, rear, interior badging, etc. I think red or black would look better on yours.
