    458 Spider is at the dealer, and the F12 is on order!

    Argento Nurburgring with chocolate interior (all leather upper, lower dash, A pillar, seats with alcantera chocolate inserts, choclate alcantera headliner and rear shelf) contrasting stitching in Grigio Scuro, and shields. No carbon fiber except driving zone. Premium stereo even though it is a rip-off :D, heat-insulating windshield.

    Basically went for a classic GT look. Apparently I will be the next build...

    How long did you have the spider? I had mine exactly 6 months.

    I was thinking of a sporty interior like red/black or blue/black but I went the GT style. I always liked the Carrera GT when it first was shown in silver/dark brown.

    The hardest decision was exterior color. Some of the new reds look really nice, as do the historic silvers. I really like the frozen silver but to much of a headache to take care of. The F12 IMHO is best in a lighter color but white is not for me, except possibly the pearl white.

    Yea the matte aluminum (i think thats what u mean by frozen silver) was my #1 choice but too pricey like 3 layer yellow n pearl white, and hard to care for the matte too.

    I have never been fond of red cars but have grown fonder thanks to ferrari.

    Yes that's what I meant, matte aluminum. Pricey but worse, really hard to take care of. I don't mind taking care of it, but there are so many "must avoid" that I would be too worried all the time!

    I like red, but I just got my wife a Cali in red/tan for her birthday. She loves it ("it has a happy face!")

    I'm still liking that Rossa Berlinetta that the test car came with.

    That's the beautiful part about specing your own car. Everyone has their own idea what works for them.

    No, I think it's more like 8 grand. It's not triple layer.

    Congratulations!
    Silver is the perfect color for the F12 IMO.
    Looking forward to seeing the first pics of your beast!
