    Raul, any news on the time? Unless Quattroruote is keeping the car over the weekend, they should be done...

    Noticed the rear diffuser flaps are also activated ... shot taken above 220km/h!

    How much did you lower? 10mm?

    The rear flaps (DRS system) activate earlier... When accelerating in a straight line they move down when passing 100 km/h and stow when decelerating through 80...

    Looks great in grey. Same for that LF.

    I've been saying this a lot lately -- grey is the new black. You heard it hear first!

    Interesting! I do not remember reading Ferrari literature mentioning about this.
    Another plus for this forums where owners can share real objective information.
    Looking forward to getting mine in about less than a month now.
    Thanks!

    I really like the looks of the Speciale and would be happy if the 458 replacement would have the same exterior changes as the Speciale. IMHO, really improves the look of the regular 458. But I don't like the look of the alcantara upper dashboard, makes it look like you have a dashboard cover on, especially in the above pics.

    The car looks awesome but the location of side marker indicators on the front and rear bumpers seem kinda distracting ... like an after thought. Would be better if it were blackened.

    Just a note about the dash. The dash is much darker in real life, but with resolutions on internet chat sights, details have been lightened a bit on purpose so there wll be detail and definition. Trust me, it does not look like a dash mat.

    Very interesting. Thought I read they were standard on the Speciale.

    I am sure there is a shield delete option for those that don't want them.

    Rosso Corsa with NART rocks!!!

    May I know if that is an antenna on the roof? Is the purpose for SAT NAV or to serve another function?
