    Also I think I meant IPE and Novitec. Just woke up. I plead lack of caffeine.

    No matter I admit when im wrong and hopefully can earn your forgiveness for my exhaust naivety with this.

    Imagine the potential with my bride to be

    Thanks for posting.

    The 488 lines make the car appear to be a little taller and a little shorter. I believe it's the side scoops.

    I can see the F-chat thread this fall entitled "Do you agree the 488 styling makes the 458 styling look like yesterday's news?"

    Mayweather money, would take that bet says I.

    Hope that thread doesn't get posted too quickly, may be awhile before Spider allocation comes up and Sheila gets replaced.

    Do a thread search on what the F430 owners were saying about the 458 when you have hours to kill.

    Funny how history repeats itself, fault of humankind I suppose.

    I have been giving some serious thought to trading my 458 Spider on a 488 Spider. Figure it would be about $100k more. Not worth it with a turbo. But if it had a V12 i would be pounding on the dealer's door. Really.

    355 sure holds its own. To me that and the 458 have the best lines.

    Truth. But with Power Cube warranty cost and the drastic dip in resale going over 10000 miles on odometer, I have a modicum of fiscal incentive. I acknowledge you paid a lot more for your Spider so the proverbial resale punch to the gut for myself is smaller but prolly still painful. Anyhow, I wrote off my Spider cost as a sunk expense when I bought Sheila the year and a half of daily driving has been priceless.

    I would've picked black interior with a yellow exterior, but I really didn't want to go with the classic combo. I looked at the rest of the colors and everything else just didn't match it (to me). I even checked out red and yellow, and that reminded me of an egg yolk with blood in it. So what combo would you recommend (other than black and yellow)?

    Giallo w/ Cioccolato or Terra Bruciata w/ yellow stitching (to match the exterior) is great!
