    I really like the 458 / 488 body style in 2-tone colors. Typically Nero on top, but I have also seen Titanio and other too.

    I've seen the Nero top with Corso Rossa, Grigio Silverstone, and Grigio Nurburgring. All fantastic.

    Well, the yellow of the shields don't match Giallo Modena. The canter caps don't match the shields, and the yellow calipers don't match any of the other yellows. If you go with yellow calipers and hub caps too, you can have a car with four shades of yellow on the outside alone. Think long and hard before you do that. It will clash, and once you see that little colour difference, you can't "un-see" it as they say. If putting shields on a Giallo Modena car, one should seriously consider calipers in a different colour and hub caps that match the wheels etc.

    I really like it as well. It seems more natural on the 488 than the 458.

    Wow that looks fantastic in yellow! I wasn't a fan of the yellow on the 458 but this works!

    Your 488 GTB looks excellent! They taped up the lower rocker panel trim. Is that just to protect the paint or did you order that rocker panel in carbon?

    Yeah mine got completed October 5th. Got the same pix. I think by the end of the month isn't going to happen though. Month for shipping, who knows how long for customs, and don't forget that pic said "Ready for testing" which means you gotta go around the track and hills around Modena for a little bit.
    I'm thinking end of November early December. I went with Red/Black because. . . well because it's a Ferrari lol. I'll grab yellow when the spyder comes out.

    EDIT: Oops, I didn't realize you were in Switzerland. MUCH faster that way. Mine has to get on a boat and then deal with the US Customs which can take awhiles. I suppose I could fly it out but I cringe at the utter waste of money that is. Grats man. Looking forward to pix.

    Location: End of Assembly Line

    Your car is now at the end of the assembly line. It will soon be handed over to a test-driver to be put through its paces on the road. Final quality control will then ensure it is ready for delivery.
