    I've crossed the line from a Bull to a Horse!

    I picked up a 2012 Ferrari FF from Brad at SF Sportscars, it was too good to pass up. Thank you Brad for being patient with all my questions and concerns.

    Promptly brought the car to Premier for them to redo the clear bra. Wils and Greg are amazing. Whoever did the clear bra originally did a horrible job, one of the worst I’ve seen. The window tint on the car is pretty dark, might have them redo it, we’ll see.

    Dropping the car off to Steve at FoSF for routine maintenance and a few other items this weekend and after that it’s off to Jason at Carzwerk for Paint Correction and their Kamikaze Collection Ceramic Coating

    Can’t wait for everything to get done and just enjoy the car. Thanks to everyone who I’ve bugged with questions. I’ve been surrounded by Ferrari’s for years and now I finally have one.

    Of course the required images...I haven't taken any photos of the interior yet, keep forgetting.

    Nice Kar Kirby...We always knew the all the "class" around you would finally rub off on you. Did you actually trade in the "gold-chain" in or do you still swing both ways? Look forward to seeing it in person, soon!

    Kirby can probably fit quite a few of his lovely ladies in it too...saves on gas mileage reimbursement for shoots on the road.

    It's better to have a horse up front the a bull behind.
    Enjoy

    Here are some before and after Clear Bra shots. This is why it's important to go to a shop who knows what they are doing.
    The team at Premier in Fremont are experts. They were able to buff out some of the MANY razor marks left by the previous installer (I don't know who that is, bought the car like this).

    Thanks Kirby for coming by the shop today. It was great catching up. Your FF is really amazing.
    We've made a video with a short demo. We'll have an install video in a few days. We banged this video out pretty quick. I just found a small typo that we'll fix tomorrow.

    Doug, Jesse and Matt at SF Motorsports installed the new wheels. Did a TPMS and Tire swap from old to new. They were amazing to work with and everything went smoothly. Oddly enough I still have not been to their shop (but will soon). They picked up the car from FoSF and dropped it back off.

    20" B31 Modulare Wheels in Gloss Anthracite finish with Ferrari cap adapters. Very happy with the results.
