    The steering wheel on the wrong side :eek:
    Joke aside, it looks like a nice config - particularly the interior; congrats.

    I don't personally like black wheels. I've started putting silver on a few cars I've ordered in the past couple of years and gone for black callipers when I've gone this route to make the wheel the focus of attention.

    I spec'ed this car with resale in mind (hence Rosso Corsa) as I've got a GTS order in. I wanted to keep the price sensible on this car whilst also aiming to get a bit more visual bang for my buck so did some exterior carbon - front splitter and side sill covers, Daytona Racing seats with alcantara centres and red centre stripes and embroidered cavalinos, LEDS wheel, front lifter, coloured inner details and a few other options.

    glad you didnt order the seat belts in red. an unnecessary distraction that clutters a clean look.
    nice spec.

    I made that error in one of my 458 Italias when coloured belts first became an option and were a novelty. I wouldn't do it again.

    My PPF guy says he won’t do it / not interested because it is very involved. Another guy said he’d do it but wants $1,300.00 for it. I imagine roof to be the easiest, definitely easier than a bumper with all the nooks and crannies, so y r all my guys pushing back I don’t understand.

    I plan to have the entire car protected when it comes in so a roof would be part of that. My guy told me other might not want to do it if they don't have templates. I figured every brand of PPF would also make templates but maybe i'm wrong on that. Where are you located?

    Atlanta GA USA. My guy only had issue with putting a colored PPF on roof and I did not fully understand the explanation he gave by email. Am going to ask him when I meet him in person. BTW, he uses templates and wraps around edges. He is the leading PPF specialist in Atlanta and specializes in PPF for exotics. I have worked with him multiple times in the past. He also makes good recommendations on what is good for a given vehicle - he recommended only front (hood, bumper, fenders, mirrors), rocker panels and a-pillars for my GTB and says I am happy to do whole car but not necessary. I am ok with that recommendation as I want to go the extra mile when I get my GTS.

    That’s to bad. My dealer (Ferrari of Silicon Valley) in Redwood City has been great. You can certainly change anything or cancel your order up until your car is in production. Your dealer is totally incorrect.

    Did you get the Adas package with the front driving camera , front and rear radar?? It’s an option I picked for my GTS but not sure if it’s worth the money.

    The majority of them are main dealer first demonstrator cars coming off fleet. There are also a few that have clearly been spec'ed pretty low to move on quickly by owners, probably to get an early GTS slot and or qualify for the VS version in a few years.

    Really like this Red . Looks very sporty and makes the car stand out compared to the other Reds . Ordered it myself and first Ferrari ! With the Grey wheels though. Did you have the prancing horse and Ferrari badge in standard chrome or satin ? Debating !
