    Car is now in MODIS at stage 10 about to go red 10. I went with the following options:

    - Rosso corsa exterior (DS 322)
    - Beige tradizione interior (13042)
    - Nero carpets (152)
    - 20" forged diamond rims (RSFD)
    - Full electric seats (RSFE)
    - Rosso corsa brake calipers (CALR)
    - Tyre pressure measurement (included in US) (TPM0)
    - Scuderia Ferrari shields (LOGO)
    - Sport exhaust system (EXA3)
    - Magneride dual mode suspension (MADM)
    - Heat insulating windscreen (HAW1)
    - US visibility equipment (AFS, front/rear parking camera, int/ext electr. mirrors + home link) (VIEH)
    - Colored stitching rosso (STC1 - 0504)
    - Diamond stitching seats (LOSS)
    - Diamond stitching rear seats beige tradizione (LOS2 - 13042)
    - Horse stitched on headrest rosso (EMPH - 0504)
    - Exterior sill kick in carbon fiber (CISK)
    - Carbon fiber dashboard inserts (DATR)
    - Yellow rev counter (RPMY)
    - Carbon fiber driving zone + LEDs (CIDL)
    - Aluminum driver + passenger footrest (PLAL)
    - Carbon fiber central bridge (CILR)
    - Carbon fiber cup holder (CITP)
    - Apple CarPlay (ACPL)
    - Leather headliner nero (RUF1)
    - Foldable rear seats backrest (SKPA)
    - Additional CD reader in glovebox ()
    - High power HIFI system (SNDB)
    - Rear CD reader (CDRE)

    Once the car arrives (I'm hoping in January since it's a December build) I will have anti stone chipping protective film put on as well as a colorless tint on the windows to keep the heat out.

    Anything I'm missing or I should reconsider? My first Ferrari so I'm trying to be as thorough as possible. Thanks everyone and a special thank you to Ferrari of Atlanta for the excellent customer service.

    -Keith

    The high power Hifi system on the original Cali was a bad joke.
    Maby someone can tell how it behaves on the Cali T.

    Congrats Keith! Wonderful car!

    Thanks Conny! I'm a music buff so even if it's a little bit better I'd go for the option. According to the ordering guide:

    TELEMATIC EQUIPMENT
    The audio system - developed by JBL Professional® with a total of 12 loudspeakers – offers an audio experience comparable to a live concert.
    Three 80 millimetres Midrange loudspeakers in
    Black Kevlar are positioned on the upper part of the dashboard.
    Two 200 millimetres loudspeakers in carbon fibre are fitted into the door panels, together with two 100 millimetres Midrange loudspeakers in Black Kevlar in the panels in the back. These loudspeakers guarantee exceptional and full performance also at the lowest frequencies.
    Another five Tweeters in ceramic have been positioned on the dashboard, the doors and the panels in the back, guaranteeing crystal clear sound in the entire cockpit.
    The result has to be enjoyed live.
    The potent 16-channel 1280-Watt amplifier is available in class D and QuantumLogic® Surround Sound technology developed by JBL Professional®. Thanks
    to the twelve perfectly positioned loudspeakers
    with crystal clear treble and potent bass as well as a midrange with a minimum of distortion the amplifier guarantees an incomparable listening experience for the passengers.
    The system’s equalization, pre-set on two calibrations, guarantees exceptional sound in the car with opened as well as closed top.
    Hi-Fi premium system (Modis Code SNDB)

    Congratulations! That will an awesome car.
    Is the sport exhaust purely cosmetic or does it sound different too?

    By the way, I think the verbiage in the Ordering Guide and MODIS are a bit confusing but it's now my understanding that the California T does NOT come standard with a CD reader but you can option to have one put into the glovebox for no cost. Thus I believe there is no option for a CD reader in the trunk.

    HAHA yes this is often true. I think I lot of people intend to keep their car "for many years" but after 2 years the boredom starts and something else starts looking good. At least this is my MO but I suspect I'm not alone.

    Yep, the ones who KEEP their Ferraris for LONG time are almost always (of course except collectors) those who bought them USED after saving money for a long time. Especially cause after that they cannot afford another one :D

    Those who have the money get bored cause they know that there is always a Ferrari "that goes faster", which is why u ahve as "wanted", the LaFerrari. I guess you would keep that for a LONG time indeed :D

    I am curious as well. Opinions on the sport exhaust option, please. Anyone actually heard it?

    Sport exhaust option is purely aesthetic... No aural difference.
