    Rob, I believe the one I posted photos of is owned by an Enzo owner but not Redcar1. I have no idea if he ordered one or not.

    I'm amazed at the sub-standard paint job on these magnificent cars. I was just at lake Forrest sports cars the other day where they had 4 cars waiting for delivery and the orange peel on all was astonishing. Our new Volvo has better paint standards. Still, I would take a 458 any day

    the Ferrari paint jobs have been like that for several years unfortunately, didn't start with the 458.

    They have overdone the drop, IMO.

    Are the front tires 235 or 245 and how much did the dealer lower your car by?

    The owner already took delivery. He just dropped it back off while he's out of town so that the dealership can display it for a while.

    It's not my car. After looking at the first photos I posted on page 1, it most certainly has been lowered. I would assume the owner had it lowered by someone other than the dealership, considering that it was still a lot higher when he left the dealership with it.
