    I picked up a 2012 Ferrari FF from Brad at SF Sportscars, it was too good to pass up. Thank you Brad for being patient with all my questions and concerns.

    Promptly brought the car to Premier for them to redo the clear bra. Wils and Greg are amazing. Whoever did the clear bra originally did a horrible job, one of the worst I’ve seen. The window tint on the car is pretty dark, might have them redo it, we’ll see.

    Dropping the car off to Steve at FoSF for routine maintenance and a few other items this weekend and after that it’s off to Jason at Carzwerk for Paint Correction and their Kamikaze Collection Ceramic Coating

    Can’t wait for everything to get done and just enjoy the car. Thanks to everyone who I’ve bugged with questions. I’ve been surrounded by Ferrari’s for years and now I finally have one.

    Of course the required images...I haven't taken any photos of the interior yet, keep forgetting.

    Looks great enjoy! If you do anything with the windows, let me know and post some pics. I have a Black FF and windows also too dark for my tastes but not sure what to do.

    Here are some before and after Clear Bra shots. This is why it's important to go to a shop who knows what they are doing.
    The team at Premier in Fremont are experts. They were able to buff out some of the MANY razor marks left by the previous installer (I don't know who that is, bought the car like this).

    Are you going to repaint your from brake intake grills? If so, I would love to know if they remove the bumper or if they paint them with the bumper on. Mine look similar to yours.

    I'm going to let my detailer look at it. If there is any way he can remove some of the rust that would be the first option. Painting/replacing would be second.

    Great job on the FF. I absolutely love mine. With that dark color and those red calipers, you may want to change out the orange side markers and the orange front reflectors to clear ;)

    Thanks! I have some mods planned, but not in a hurry. Clearing the Orange is a good idea.

    That's awesome! Congrats to you as well.

    Between Premier and FoSF maintenance service I haven't had enough seat time :( When I get it back from FoSF I'm going to try and enjoy it before dropping of at the detailers.

    Post a pic of yours!
