    Just picked up my spider with the CF racing package / sport seats. I requested Daytona inserts and think they turned out great! Car with TDF with Cuoio. Deviating stitching Black on Cuoio / Brown on Black). Also got the CF bumper insert again - IMO it doesn't look as good as on the coupe, but I still like it. The CF B-pillar is nice too!

    After many failed attempts to buy a TDF car (430, 599, 612) I'm glad to finally have one in the garage.

    Outstanding car. Didn't know you could get Daytona sport seats though.

    It was a special request. I've seen literature that stated it wasn't available in the US. Fchat user Superquant previously established the precedent that they were in fact available, so I followed his lead.

    Might want to tint your windows including the rear. Great for hot weather. And goes great with the CF B pillars.

    Beautiful ride.

    Great looking spider. I love that color and can't wait for my coupe in it. Those are the painted sport rims, right? Not the diamond finish.

    Somehow my red calipers on a red car do not look as massive as the yellow/blue. Stunning.

    Were you tempted to do blue inserts for the Daytona trim on the racing seats? The whole interior looks wonderful and understated. Especially with just the horse on the headrests.
    Your Spider is special with those seats and that color combination. Congrats

    Yup - I personally prefer the painted sport rims, but the diamond finish is starting to grow on me.

    I like yellow calipers on TDF cars, but I'm tempted to change them to silver. They won't stand out as much, and de-emphasize the wheels (at least from the pics I've seen:

    This is the TDF spider in the FNA NYC showroom: really like the look.

    I"m really happy with the way they turned out. I'm not a fan of Scurro Blue, but was thinking of doing black Daytona inserts. Instead I opted for Black stitching (which doesn't show up in the photos, but looks great in person. I'll probably do the Daytona sport seats again on an F12 order.

    One of the best setups I've seen was that NYC spider you posted earlier. Cuoio seats with alcantara inserts, very subtle but still more contrast than all leather. I saw this car in person last year.

    Great combo. Love the CF, the cuoio, the seats, the cf rear segment, and best of all, the yellow calipers.

    Enjoy it in good health and happiness.

    What was the cost for the daytona sport seats? I actually wanted that on my car but the dealer said i couldn't get it and if i could it wouldn't be worth it? There are the best looking seats period.......

    I have the cuoio Daytona seats with cuoio alcantara inserts in my Sliverstone Italia. I love the look and feel. I had been thinking about it, saw the Spider in NYC and added the alcantara inserts to my order (before it had been accepted). In any event, it's all a matter of personal taste.

    The OP's Spider looks absolutely great. Enjoy!

    Congratulation! You have chosen one of the most beautiful color combination for a 458 Spider! I like it very much because it's my favourite! I'm very impressed!

    If I lived in the sunshine TDF or Pozzuto with cuoio and those seats would be my choice. Beautiful. In the UK, I have to chose Daytonas as that is the only way to get good looking heated seats for those crisp clear sky days, and then the heating element really comes into its own.

    Short term sacrifice, long term enjoyment - I'm building a conditioned, 20+ car garage / vault so my home will be a mess for quite a while. Selling this 458 Spider as well as a similarly spec'd coupe. Won't even have parking for my daily drivers, so little choice. Needs to happen so I can finally go after a 288/f40 pairing.

    PM me with any questions - cars are both as new:
