    I'm looking at/buying 2010 California - doesn't have carbon fiber wheel with LEDs. Anyone have any idea what ballpark cost will be to have dealership replace current wheel with carbon fiber wheel with LEDs. I am assuming this can be done - wondering what cost will be. Thanks all.

    Ordering it as a new option was $4,250. To take out the current one, wire the connections and install new would probably add at least 40-60% to that total. It wouldn't shock me to have them quote $7,500 for it at minimum. That is just a reasoned guess, but my experience has been Ferrari parts and retrofit is about twice what you think it's going to be. There should be an aftermarket option, though. No idea what that cost might be. Good luck in any case.

    Excellent guess!! Twice as much as you thought it would be $13,000 for the part $2,000 for the labor - and they weren't sure it could be done.

    Best laugh of the day for me. I didn't want to appear negative re what Ferrari would charge so I estimated low.
