Joe, your engine cover looks sick man, I didn't know it was painted that dark! I need to call you and catch up soon man, been too long since we chatted.

I like the 2011 F, I'm hoping to see one soon in the dealerships here. I saw my first two LFA's recently

There are many small details that I like, like the headlights, chrome trim on the DVD player...but I was hoping for a little more change on this model. Why couldn't they take note of the Concept F (orange F with lots of carbon)? I understand it's more track ready, but the vents in the hood and additional or front lip accents are what I was hoping for. A more aggressive look.

Great, now I have to cover up even more chrome now. Those pieces on the steering wheel screams fingerprints galore.

the LED headlights don't look so hot in pictures so I'll have to wait to see it in person.

The one thing I'm bummed is I really like the new gauge cluster and center console but will be nearly impossible to upgrade

You can always take a big hit on your '08 and buy the '11...

I thought about it for a hot second, then decided no. I haven't won the lottery yet.

Already drove the 11 ISF

I personally like the new cluster a lot more then previous models, headlights look downright sick!
