    My first post here. My F458 Spider arrives within the next couple of weeks. I owned a pre-owed F355 Spider (manual transmission) from 2000 to 2002. Looking forward to one heck of an "upgrade."

    Thx! I'm in NYC. I'm still status 90. Should be here any day now. The wait is brutal. A new Ferrari turns an adult into an impatient teenager so easily!

    BTW, the red Alcantara is not as bright as in the pictures. It's actually slightly less bright than the car paint. Because of Alcantara's texture, it can look many different color tones depending on the lighting and camera settings/angle. I've seen some awful pictures of red Alcantara that looks orange/pink.

    It real life it doesn't look so great in bright sunlight - has a slightly orange tint to it depending on type of daylight. But when top is up or under florescent or normal day light (some clouds etc) it looks absolutely amazing.

    Best of luck with it. I love the exterior and yellow brake calipers.
