    Looks nice indeed !

    But some would wrap that, so will never do that ... its a matter of taste. (See what I did wrap ... )

    How was the carbon done on the engine bay parts ? Taken out all oem parts and replaced by oem carbon parts ? And the mirrors too

    Or wrapped ? And the center console part inside too ?

    Please tell us a bit more ...

    You would not want to wrap anything on a Ferrari in carbon that's just degrading the car itself. Oh and watch out for aftermarket parts that are fiberglass that's wrapped in carbon fiber. You want real carbon fiber from a good source that you can trust.

    All carbon pieces are aftermarket replacements. You would remove the OEM and replace it. From what I know my shop had the dealer remove the side mirrors and replace it with the aftermarket carbon fiber mirrors. The side mirrors were the hardest to do.

    If the aftermarket carbon fiber is good quality it will look exactly like the Ferrari carbon fiber. I can't even tell the difference from which carbon fiber is aftermarket and which ones are Ferrari. Make sure you get the 1x1 that's what Ferrari uses. 👍 did my research hehe.

    I'll take some shoots up close when I get back to show you what I mean.

    Thanks for everyone's kind words, was searching for very long but there was never a 458 Italia with the right color and options that had all carbon fiber options. I guess factory carbon is way too expensive to go all out with. So picked up one with the right color and options that came with, carbon race seats, carbon dash, carbon paddle shifters and carbon steering wheels as factory and added on the rest as aftermarket. Still on order is the carbon door sills. The Capristo carbon gas cap looks really good in person specially with the design and prancing horse 👍. But install on all these parts took like 5 days 😬 lol.

    Yea , maybe a darker shade of wheel color since you added darker colors to the exterior. Any plans for a carbon diffuser? Those mirrors and engine bay look excellent btw

    Gloss black roof on 458 or 488 is mandatory imo. Black rims to finish it off

    Looks amazing! Any reason why you guys opted to not do the factory black roof? From the black roof wraps I've seen they kind of cheapen the car looking at them up close. They just don't have the same gloss as the paint on the rest of the car....even have a matt type look. From a distance or in Pics they look look fine.

    I bought mines used so had no choice. Other options in the car were more important then a painted black roof. Also I believe dealer told me it was like a 10k option to paint the roof black. Not 100% sure about that but if it was 10k I would still have passed on that option for that price. Plus if I ever decide that I didn't want the roof black anymore I can just remove it. If your roof is painted black at the dealer u can never go back to a colored roof :(

    It depends on the material used and the installation, some wraps look great.

    Do you recall the brand of the wrap? I’ve seen 3M gloss black, and it wasn’t as glossy as my white paint. BTW, the car looks great.
