Perfect, thank you!!

What does "95 - Submit to Factory" mean?

 

Mine says the same but I'm in UK so you will definitely be in front of UK production, we always come last [emoji849]

Yes I did get the standard audio system....The 2015 458 I owned previously had the standard system and it was not terrible but not as good as the Bose system in my 2018 GT3....I almost never turned on the stereo system in the 458 just because I did not make any extended trips....
I read a few threads about the Ferrari standard vs the upgraded stereo systems prior to completing my build and came to the conclusion that the upgrade was not that big of an improvement over the standard System.
I will definitely report back

 

OSUferrari - Looks amazing. Mine is at the detailer right now. Debating to get the tinted windows as well. What % did you do?

30%

 

Probably going to keep the wheels for now. I like them. May change them out later, just not sure to what.

The interior roof has to be leather or alcantara because the standard material is the worse part of the car. To me it reminds me of a scourer

Hard to make out do you have coloured stitching ?

Like the shields . The only thing that looks out of place IMO are the indicators . We don't have them here Maybe tint them and see if the cops leave you alone ?u

 

Nice interior, I hope we can peel off those awful safety stickers from the sun visors!

 

Great looking car, enjoy in good health [emoji482]

 

Yes. Has blue stitching. One thing about blue is the stitching does not match the blue accent on seats - wish they could fix that. Agree in the reflectors on wheel wells. Good idea on tint/wrap. I will try that and see how they look

 

How much were you charged for the lowering?

 

Congrats! Now we need driving impressions and videos!

 

Truly beautiful and in a way follow your idea on the wheels in so far you have taken the darker approach where I have taken the silver approach with silver calipers. IMO looks classier without the red or yellow calipers
.

 

$2000. I may have to bring it back up a tad (have already scrapped a few times). Still getting used to it

 

Long drive tomorrow. Bringing go pro. Will post when I get back. Car is FAST

 

Thanks! (And agree!)

 

Any recommendations on engine break in for the F8?

I had my SA ask the service manager at my dealership and he said that there was really no break in period..and that the engine was checked with dyno at the factory and once warmed up to temperature it should be good to go...

 

I bet Ferrari still recommends 1000 km / 600 miles break-in (probably not exceeding 5,000 rpm).
The theory is that with better manufacturing precision, the moving parts do not actually require much break in - but I'd still perform one.
Another sign is whether there is an initial oil change planned in the maintenance plan - if there is one after the first e.g. 1500 km/ 1000 miles, it's an indication that it's expected to have some metal particles in the oil (due to the parts "adapting" to each others); it was the way it worked some years ago but I'm not sure what the current situation is.

 

Pretty much the same for the Pista....keeping it down to 5000 rpm for the first 500 miles.

 

Beautiful! Love all the changes especially the steering wheel airbag cover. How did they do that ? wrap? and is it easy to do?

By the way, for the outside wheel arch reflectors, you can have them spray tint them. I had them done on my G wagons so not as noticeable.

Here are before and after of my 2 wagons.

 

Nice. Definitely going to get that done.
For steering wheel - had an epoxy dome decal done thru one of my suppliers. We are still working on getting the silver the right color so I have some more samples coming. Easy to swap out.
