    Oh my goodness. Just drove her home after paint correction by Eric from Envious detailing and the car was more amazing than I remembered from the test drive. Here are a couple of iPhone pics after the paint was corrected....better ones in the sunlight tomorrow. I also wanted to post a picture of the new CF challenge grill taken in the sunlight. WHAT A CAR!

    She is a beautiful, mean, lean machine. Definitely worth waiting for. Drive her in good health and enjoy her wondrous bounty!

    Black is such a good colour on the 458. Congrats again, Rod! Must be a memorable week!

    Congratulations, looks superb, the black wheels really add to look! Did the paint need much correction?

    Enjoy!

    Actually it didn't. The detailer said it was in pretty good shape. Took about 1 day. It's nice that you can now order the rims painted from the factory in other colors than grey.

    Saw a similar black one (bar the wheels) at my dealer today. The 458 in black really looks like it's ready to rock! Looks great, may your tank always be full.

    Here's a picture taken in a little sunlight outside. The car drives amazingly. I really like the Capristo remote valve openers for that little extra noise when desired. Thanks for all the well wishes. It's a great feeling to finally have her here.

    That is sick! Absolutely outstanding with the wheels!
    How much does the factory charge for the wheel painting?
    Outstanding!

    Just checked invoice $5,674 for the painted sport rims. I did a special request for the Michelin Super Sports as well.
