Greetings, Although this is not my first post, it's my official introduction to the forum. I've been waiting to take delivery of my car and finally, the wait is over. After many ideas and a lot of debate I elected to go with a sharp, clean and classic combination. Here are my specs: Bianco Avus on full leather nero Scuderia shields Calipers in yellow 20" Dark grey forged wheels Sport sill cover Sport exhaust White Rev White special stitching White piping White stitched cavallino Electric seats/electric steering adjust. Electrochrom. int. & ext. mirrors Front & rear sensors Rear parking camera Premium Hi Fi/ iPod connect./Sat nav Allow me to share some shots. Please pardon the photos quality.

How nice! I am reminded of how great the regular seats are, when adapted to the rest of the car. May I suggest a window tint to integrate with the wheels, exhaust, sill etc.
Fantastic Doc, You will be very happy with the Italia, look forward to reading your driving impressions in due course. enjoy!!
Looks very clean and aggressive in white with those dark painted sport wheels. Always nice to see the sport sills painted gray to, especially on a white Italia. CH
We have almost the same username and we will almost have exactly the same car + Convertible CF rear spoiler Great looking car
Thank you guys for your replies. I must say I'm honored. As for my driving impressions, the car had me within the first 2 minutes of the test drive. It's difficult to describe the emotion. I'm sure others more eloquent than me have put it in words. I love the dual personality of the car. On the one side it can be so gentle and soft then on the other ferocious and aggressive. It has the most spectacular transmission I've ever driven. Overall the comfort level matches the very best GT car out there. Then you have the raw power and performance when you feel like unleashing it. The steering wheel controls/indicators take a few drives to get used to but are easy to get a hang of. The horn button position is just quirky. Menus and functions are simple to operate in my opinion. The premium sound system is very crisp. My initial sense is that I'm glad I got it. Is it worth the money? You could argue not. I honestly can't conclude decisively either way. I've been too busy listening to the engine. Parking sensors are standard on almost all cars. I'm afraid I've grown dependent on them. I think for the 458, their crucial. The rear camera complements the rear sensors nicely. Some purists are against them and some think they look unsightly. I can live with that. To me, they serve an important purpose. The exterior electrochromatic mirror works but not so much with SUV headlights behind you in a traffic light. The glare is less but you still need to adjust the mirrors away or cover your eyes. No big deal. That's what I can think of so far. Let me add that this forum has been extremely helpful to me in the process. I have to thank you all for that.
Tasteful spec...well done. Love the contrast between the dark and light. +1 on some light window tinting to provide even more contrast. I see you have an extinguisher installed. Are you planning to track the car?
