    In the process of finalizing the purchase of a Grigio Silverstone - how are you guys enjoying the color? Seems stealthy and classy yes very sporty in the lights/sunshine.

    Cheers!

    I like mine. Had my hood wrapped in matte carbon fiber. Looks hot. I am going to do the roof as well. Purists probably don't engage in activities like wraps.

    I love the color but see it suiting the gt cars more than the 458

    It has a lot of metal in it so in the sun or under bright lights it sparkles big time. Under the clouds it is more subdued. I love it because it makes for a high tech, modern look, and the 458 is certainly modern. You can play with different interiors. My wife's is black leather with red alcantera inserts and panels. A "pop" when you open the doors. But you can go conservative with all black. Cuoio is also excellent for a rich, leather look.

    Classy is the right term. That was my first impression when I saw it for the first time. I like contrasting interiors but I know everyone has their own taste.

    My car isn't a 458 but I would get Silverstone again on my next car, whether GT or mid engine sports car. Very classy and less "in your face".

    And it shows off the lines of the car but hides alot of dirt.

    I love it on my 458. Stealthy and classy (but still a bit mean looking). I got mine with a cuoio interior, with a matching alcantara headliner and Daytona seat inserts. Also I have gray stitching and a fair amount of carbon fiber in the interior to carry the Silverstone theme. I think the burgundy interior also looks really good with Silverstone.

    One of the best. Had it on my Cali, changed for the Spider and going back to it on the F12. Elegant and sporty, perfect.

    Had it on my F430 and I loved it.
    Relatively a dark color but it does not show the dirt as you might expect.

    I had a 430 Silverstone/Cuio, and then went a bit "wild" buying a white/black 458. The feeling is "different". The Silverstone looks like it belongs standing outside the opera house while many other colors garner attention by contrast. If you want allot of attention buy a Lamobrghini in Green or really want to feel like you can put your thumbs under your suspenders and say "wow", I made it, Silverstone. Picture of my "old" 430 which I never regretted for a minute. Best
