    Don't get me wrong, I love your interior. I just think it's interesting how few choose castoro carpets with beige leather on the 488, when it was the most common combination on multiple models for decades.

    Did you choose Rosso Corsa or Rosso Corsa Metallizzato?

    Nothing wrong with that. I prefer it. It's a richer red.

    Lovely! Though it's going to take me a while not associate you with the yellow car. :)

    As someone who knows his onions on this subject, how about an essay on the design of the 488? (I'm assuming, of course, that you haven't already posted such a thing)

    I haven't.
    Hadn't really thought about doing something like that. Let me give it some thought.

    As a designer myself (though not of cars, of course) I'd certainly find your thoughts interesting, as I'm sure would many others.

    Argh, I thought about heading down there this morning. Coffee, F1 replay, and damp roads at 7:30 am ended that idea. Somehow I knew you would have it there! :)

    The Ferrari has such presence the white car behind it might as well be a Camry!

    we saw the 'before' pictures so how about some 'after' pictures when finished? I like how the fender vent divider was ordered in the Rosso Corsa body color...

    no problem, but I doubt you will see any significant differences before/after from photos
    I probably should have taken 'close up' shots of the flaws, but I didn't

    The detailer went around the car with me and we discovered several 'opportunities' to improve the paint
    there were sanding marks, and several scratches that we could easily see
    i just do't think they'll be visible in photos on the internet
    But yes, i'll post them anyway
    The film installer said the film product X-Pel was the best they used and i would not see any seams.......stay tuned ;)

    No I did not go with the CF seats. I wanted them to be electric. My current Ferrari seats are electric so I stuck with it.
