    Looks like I found the car for me:

    2013 California, 5k miles, 1 year of factory warranty remaining
    Grigio titanio
    Cuoio
    Shields
    Giallo modena calipers
    Daytonas front and rear
    Piping in nero
    Nero carpets
    Nero speciale stitching STC2
    Nero stitched cavallino
    Tunnel and armrest in leather
    Electric mirrors and homelink
    Front and rear parking sensors
    Magneride
    20" forged diamond rims
    Electric seats
    TPMS
    Additional USB connection (anyone know what that means?)

    In a perfect world it would have the LED wheel and yellow tach, although I've heard the yellow tach can be difficult to read in certain lighting conditions because of the white numbers on the yellow face.

    Can the LED wheel be added later or is it a huge hassle?

    Does the car come with a wind deflector or is that an option?

    Comes with wind deflector. No real issue for me with yellow tach but I don't spend much time looking at it tbh... that's what the exhaust note is for! :)

    That is totally beautiful. You picked a winner.

    My wife drives a SC430 Lexus and loves the retractable top.

    Great car. Enjoy the ride.

    Beautiful car Vic. I think you'll love her, nothing beats listening to 5000/6000 rpm along tree-lined back roads, on a sunny morning, in a full convertible Fcar. It's magical! The wind deflector was an option when I bought my Canadian car, but the salesman threw it in as a freebie. If your passenger has long hair she will appreciate it, otherwise, it isn't needed and will likely interfere with backseat passengers.

    I believe the LED wheel can be swapped in without modifications but you should check with the dealer.

    As for the tach, yellow is the traditional colour but it's mostly a matter of personal taste. I learn the locations of the critical RPMs to watch for: 4000, 6000, 8000 and I don't actually read the numbers when I rev the engine, just go by the sound and approx location of the needle before I change up.

    The USB connection is potentially very useful because you can likely charge your phone with it or perhaps even play your iPhone music through it. Otherwise, if you Bluetooth stream your iPhone music, you'll drain its battery very quickly.

    Thanks, folks! Will shoot some real pictures when it's here.

    Red looks great, too. I had my eye on a rosso corsa backup car if this one did not work out. When I went over to sign the papers they had a brand new California T in red/tan on the showroom floor this morning.

    I really liked my 2013 and felt like it was a better build quality then my 2011.. I had each of them 2 years and about 7000miles.. I wish I still had the 13 it was a great car. And I still cannot warm up to the Cali T looks .. I am probably the only one but I think the cali front end looks better..
    best of luck with the car..

    Great looking 2013! You will love it. I ordered my 2013 Blu TdF California 30 new and I have loved it. I looked at the T, but decided that I liked the look and sound of the 30 better so I decided to keep it.
    I ended up ordering a 458 Speciale and I'm still going to keep the 30. It is a fantastic daily driver for any purpose from track days to just going out to dinner.
    Enjoy!!
