    2012 458 spider white with black top , gloss black wheels, silver brake calipers, black capote, and black rear. Currently has a black logo on engine hatch. Waffling over changing it to chrome to match rear Cavallino I think I will be adding the Italian bar flag badge above the logo if I change it out. What are your opinions etc. The car originally had all blacked out trim pieces side lights etc. it also has the carbon fiber hubs and fender shields equipped originally from factory. I changed the Cavallino to chrome front and rear pininfarina logo on rear quarters are chrome. Interested in your thoughts. Thanks.

    Personally, for me, anything not factory gives me the vibe of "trying too hard" and is cringey. I don't know if these are a factory option or not, but I'm not a fan of the blackout look on a Ferrari.

    Glossy chrome is awful and way outdated. Black or some sort of brushed or black chrome looks great IMO. Less flashy or jewelry looking. I'd rather have no badges than gloss chrome.

    Leave Black without Flag, but I'll agree with whatever decision you make.

    I agree with agreeing that the black against the white is right…. You can put musical notes with that if you’d like.
