A little ricey I guess... just a bit. Gotta say it matches well with your Z's color though in the first pic.

"Thats like 30 Z's" - Soccerprep205.

You mean 10 Z's right? Unless you got your Z for 10K

As my signiture says, I bought white/blue PIAA parking lights.
Only there way is clear led turning lights that turns amber only when light up(hate the orange bulb inside the headlight space).
ANd for my Day Running Lights(It's a Canadian requirement), I ordered H7 "Hyper White" which is basicaly white/blue.

I hope these white/blue bulbs gives me the exotic white with a bit of blue hue in it. I dislike headlights that is all blue. I prefer the white/blue hue headlights I see on BMW, etc.

yeah, when my headlights are on you cant even see the blue light unless your relatively close to the car, but before when i had the lil stock bulb, the yellowish color would reflect in the headlight and take away from the xenon look (still great xenons, but up close you can see yellow from the stock bulb!!

Yup the F430 runs for like 200K but good luck going to the Ferrari dealer and getting it for that amount. Also the spyder costs more than the coupe..., I think like 230K. Plus he may have added options like the 10K F1 tranny or the 15K ceramic brakes... add tax and delivery and it comes to around 300K. . Thats one lucky b@stard though. But yeah the Z with the blue looks kinda ricey. Buy hey whatever floats your boat dude.
