    Looks nice - like the race seats. Very hard to find them and very comfortable.

    I have a set of those seats (same color and stitching, too) and I can tell you that it's the single best upgrade to these cars. The F430 and CS have the same shells from Sparco and they only made a few. The CS's got them and a few F430s (with the stitching you see there). They're awesome.

    I test drove this car a couple of weeks ago.

    The paint is spectacular, but it is not the more common black. It is a subtle metallic black.

    The big brake calipers are black. If I would've bought the car, FoH would've painted the calipers yellow with the Ferrari decal in black, They did this for me on my 360 and the results are fantastic.

    The dash has very very very minor sticky parts. Not worth re-doing the whole car, just wait a few years and restore all parts at once.

    I drove it in city traffic when it was almost a hundred degrees (typical Houston day in August) and the AC performed very well.

    The only reason I did not buy the car on the spot was the factory option racing seats. They are very comfortable, but offer no vertical adjustment. I am 180 pounds at 6' and the size large seat fits me well. I have a relatively short torso compared to long legs, so I prefer a high seat setting to have a commanding view over the front of the car.

    PM me or call me 281-224-3383. I am going to FoH this week for other business, so I'd be happy to take another look if you have something in particular to inspect.
