    Finally, the day arrived this past week. It was long wait. But finally... we're home in the honeymoon! Today we went to Costa Mesa and Newport Beach, soaked in the sun and ocean breeze and came back home. 300 miles since we've been together. Hoping for many more.

    The Italian flag above the Ferrari name is that an option or something you added later on? Also, what springs are you on?

    Uploaded the wrong pictures. This is not CF. This was painted Nero, paint corrected and applied CQquartz Reserve. Only interior is Matte CF. I was going to paint the intake ducts but I decided to leave them as is. I am going to leave the manifold covers red. I like the contrast.

    I don't recall seeing the FLAX option on my Spider. Perhaps it isn't an option for Spiders?

    I have seen 458 Aperta and 488 Spider with the Italian flag in the rear lid. It may be named differently for the Spider.

    LOL. Can't drive them both at the same time to the event. You have to pick. F8 or 812?. I think if I take the F8, credibility should be established and I get TDF in reparations for emotional stress and damage to credibility.

    Tough choice brotha… which mistress [emoji848] to bring??
    Well you’ve been teasing us for a year, the F8 has become as real as the Easter bunny. Then you drop an 812 bomb on us like Santa Claus. Both aren’t real!….
    But if you had to bring one of these mythical creatures, since TDF event, I’d vote for Snow White 812.

    There’s a good thread here explaining the difference between Bianco Italia and Fuji… Fuji has a more creamier champagne pearl, while Italia is more pearlescent white.

    Bianco Fuji

    They are both triple layer paints and have a stunning pearlescence.

    Italia is "whiter" and has a silverish touch. Fuji used to be "cream-ear" and also beautiful. It made my life hell to select between them. However, this was before they changed the base. Fuji used to be oil based. Now it water based like Italia. Unfortunately, Fuji does not look the same and in my opinion is not as beautiful as it used to be.
