    Hello,

    I live in Texas and always tint my vehicles. I'm pretty sure I'm going to tint my new F8 Couoe that was delivered yesterday.

    Just curious if someone with a Rossa Corsa coupe with tint would post a few pics. Also, has anyone ryinted their windshield and if so, do you have problems with GPS or radar?

    Thanks in advance!

    I just re-read your post and see that you wanted pictures of coupes. Disregard.

    Wow, stunning with the windshield tint. Thank you for the pics. Did you go with ceramic tint? What type of radar detector are you using?

    Love it! The car's stance is on point! Did you use Novitec Springs and if so, how much did you lower your car?

    Yes Novitec springs...stock size 20" wheels just a touch of offset.

    I don't know the exact measurement of lowering from stock. Tampa Ferrari did the work and we did a few adjustments over a few days. We basically kept the rake front to rear about stock. They did measurement from the cars frame underneath points as stated in the workshop manual.

    My cars ride height from the factory seemed higher than normal. There is a whopping 10mm allowed difference... +/- 5mm from center of spec in the workshop manual. Mine was way on the high side. I would say it is around 20mm lower than stock. Not slammed though, just right. I prefer the ride and handling with the Novitec springs. Novitec uses KW springs which are top quality.

    Yes a ceramic tint. I bought the car used Dec 2019. Its a 2019 488....came with a K40 installed radar/laser system so nothing on the windshield. I have the same tint on my everyday SUV except factory tint is rear glass. I use a Uniden R7 with zero issues in it. If I didn't have the K40 in the Ferrari the Uniden or my old trusty Valentine V1 would work perfectly too.

    Thank you. Just did the same 20% on the large and small side windows. Exoshield for crack protection on the windshield.
