    Chad- That is really beautiful. The yellow calipers look really good with the red paint and the open wheel design really shows off the calipers and brakes. Looking forward to interior photos and driving impressions. Great color choice, but then I am partial to red. It does look meaner than a standard 599, which is saying something.

    Are those European style turn signal repeaters on the side?

    Congrats, the yellow brake calipers really add some nice contast and go very well with the wheels. Am certain you will have many miles of awesome motoring, the car is so well balanced, its a monster when you want it to be but also a superb luxury cruiser when needed.

    Gorgeous. I just love the thinned out front grille on the 599.

    I will take interior pictures today, didn't have much time last night and all of the shipping material was still on the seats and on floor. I kindly ask the dealer not to wash or polish the car prior to delivery, I take it dirty and have it detailed myself for the first time. I'll pull the shipping tape today and get some interior pics.

    And the prancing horses on the grill and on the boot lid are a matte/brushed look and not chrome. It's really quite something.

    I love it! I really think the HGTE wheels have a great look and add to 599 as a whole.

    Looking forward to those interior pictures!

    The factory reported back that they were honored to accommodate my request for autographs. But since I opted for carbon fiber, they were a little hesitant and called me back again to make certain I wanted them to sign carbon. I spoke to them at the factory and they said they were excited to do this.

    My dealer suggested that I remove that piece of carbon with autographs, hang it in my house and order another for the car. I don't think so :)
