    I did the same thing! Besides having greater performance and being more of an event to drive, the 458 I noticed, seemed to have a less steep depreciation curve. So literally every day I waited to sell the California so I could get a 458, the price gap was growing. Congrats! Car looks great and you will love it!

    Tell us about the roof. What kind of wrap? Glossy? Matt? Are you considering doing any other parts of your car in black?

    Congratulations, your car looks great. I also went from a California to a 458. Ferrari's marketing strategy was spot-on for me.

    First thing I would do is tear off the matte wrap from the top. Have fun! You will love the 458.

    Congrats on the pickup Andrew, she looks incredible! Toss up some interior shots when you get a chance, would love to see the rest of the specs. Looks like a few members jumped into 458's within the past few weeks as well, gotta love seeing the community grow. Don't hesitate to contact me directly with anything I may be able to help with - enjoy!

    Awesome, they did a great job on the upgrade - you can barely tell it used to be a California at all!

    Agree.

    I see a spider around here with a red interior. Stunning.
