    A thrill like that is hard to beat! Congrats.

    Interior pics please. How is the height of the seats, and can it be adjusted easily?

    The bronze/gold wheels look fantastic! This style of wheel goes very well w this color i think.

    OMG nice! Are you getting any glare from the red/white?

    Your car reminds me of a Scud I once loved from afar.

    Thanks everyone....why those wheels or why that color? The wheels are the lightest/strongest factory option available, plus i love the look over the 5 spoke sport wheels. As far as the color, i loved the scuderia in red with bronze wheels, i figured the 458 would look just as good!

    The carbon fiber that you have in the engine bay looks great as well as, in the inside.

    I love that rim style it gives the 458 a more exotic look. To my surprize the color of the wheel looks good on it as well. The more I look at these Ferrari's, I find my taste in colors and design evolve.

    Looks like you are wasting no time in breaking it in.

    Happy New Year

    Well i figured i'd enjoy her while i had some sun and before the roads became gravel roads, but today she got washed and is tucked away under the car cover for the next week or so because of the rain.

    I love the CF its growing on me. I've always been a firm believer that CF needs to have some purpose and can't just be for aesthitic reasons. On top of that I disliked glossy carbon, but i like the contrast everything gives!!

    Thanks bob!!!


    To answer the question on the glare/reflection. There is a bit of a reflection, nothing too terrible and i don't think i would've done it any other way. I do have to say my favorite part of the interior is the white stitching, it really worked well in my eyes and i couldn't be happier with the interior.

    Point of note on the CF floor mats, if you or your GF wear high heels they do dig into the weave and leave marks/indents that won't come out. Im thinking of maybe ordering the alcantara floor mats from andrew but im not a fan of the giant cavalino.

    Ahlain marwan; is your car a 2012 or earlier? on the 12's if you press and hold the back/view button it will change the screen from nav/ipod/radio to showing the digital speed and then showing VDA or status on the left.
