    What do you guys think of these seats? They are $5700 custom option for my 430. Is it worth it? Lambo has these on the lp640. I am looking for some input. Thank you.

    I personally don't like the way its going to look in a F430 (just by visualizing it). Since you're the one ordering the car, then go for whichever pattern you like. I just like the normal seats better.

    There's one thing for sure if you have that in you're F430, its going to be one of a kind! :)

    I think it looks great in a Grand Touring car like the 612 or 599, but not an F430.

    My feeling is get whateve you want and love in your Ferrari, you've earned it.
    I spec'd mine out for me, not the guy pulling up next to me.

    Enjoy!

    I now know where "pimp my ride" came from. It looks good by itself, but a Ferrari - not for me. Best

    I think as others have said it looks good in a GT car but it also might look great in a 430, difficult to visualize, if anything it will surely be unique. I dont own a Ferrari but the main thing is that you like what you choose, some of the more outlandish combinations can sometimes look very good.

    To illustrate this, here in South Africa, very, very few peope will order a Ferrari in any other colour but red, but it took on person to order in Grigio and suddenly that colour was in, case of maybe setting trends!

    I wouldn't do it on a pure sports car like the F430. IMO the pattern looks too classical. Standard seats or Daytona seats in the F430 look great.

    Agree to some extent but something differant is bad idea sometimes, as an aside Tarek did you get the Daytona's, I have found the Daytonas on the 430 to be pretty uncomfortable at times, admittedly those times were when sitting in traffic or not be seduced by the sound of the motor and awed by the power!

    Hi Jacques :). I got the standard seats in mine. Prefered them over the Daytona seats (looks). I guess it's just a matter of taste.

    Looks nice. I prefer my daytona seats in my 430 spider, but these would look good in black or tan.

    I ordered that pattern on the headliner of my 430 just like in the 599, but I think on the seats is a bit much. I went with daytonas

    It looks like what you would find in a custom 50's cadillac.
