I've got the flexible fiber glass front and rear. I like it a lot more than the ratty looking old urethane that was on the care before. As far as hard or flexible, both have pros and cons, but...

I'm partial to the white w/black stripe on my 76, but if I were to build a second one, I would go with Daytona sunset orange from the 2005 models with a black stripe and black interior.

I'm sure Ferrari would be willing repair it for a small fortune. Would make a fun project car. I would want to repair/restore it, though that will be pricey, even if you can do the work yourself.

1. Yes, both front and rears are 15x8.

2. It'll depend on your car (build quality on the C3 varies quite a bit), the wheels you choose and which tire you use. I have 17x8 AR105 Torq Thrust M +0...
