    Very brave move opting out of the lifter, seat lifter and upgraded sound on an SV car with a special color option!

    Totally agree with others who have advised option it up. You could skip things like mat carbon and leather but once you tick special colour there are certain things that become staple from what I was told here.

    its specced with every carbon piece possible on the exterior. There isn't anything else to add.

    Ive never used the seat lifter or needed a lift on my 488. The rest of the interior options are useless to me.

    and I dont understand your comment on the "special color" option. Its a standard color. Tour de France Blue.

    So the blue is a no cost? Was led to believe it was.

    On the other items your call of course - just was advised those things future proof the car. We all buy with best intentions to keep but how many times has that changed? Maybe some of these options have more value in certain geos but out here without a lifter is a deal breaker for most unless the price reflects the disposition....same goes with the RS lifter.

    Tour de France Blue- standard color.

    Car is specced with every exterior carbon option. Interior its just leather or different colored alcantara which I dont want. Or you can do a full carbon dash- which I dont want.

    Other than that- here are the options that are available - I just have zero interest in them for me personally.

    Apple CarPlay. - no thanks
    Adaptive Front Light System - no thanks
    Anti Stone Chipping Film - will do my own once car is delivered from my installer
    Front Bumper Protection Film - same
    Dedication Plate in Silver- no clue what this is
    Front Suspension Lifter - have not needed it once in my almost 3 years of 488 ownership
    Handy Fire Extinguisher - nope
    Functional Equipment - WTF is this?
    Heat-insulating windscreen - I might get this living in the Arizona summers
    High Emotion Low Emission Package - standard
    Inner and Outer Electrochromatic Mirrors + HomeLink - I cant get the damn homelink to work on my 488 - not bothering with Pista as I cant imagine its any better
    Radio Navigation System & Bluetooth -- getting this
    Rear Parking Camera - comes standard
    Front and Rear Parking Cameras - dont want a front camera
    Personalization Pack - not sure what this is for 36k
    Smoker's Kit -dont smoke
    Integated Audio System - regular radio is fine for me
    High Power Hi-Fi Sysem - 10k for stereo in a track car? I have the upgraded stereo in my 488. it still sucks.
    20" Spare Wheel Kit - can call 40 flat bed trucks for what they charge for a spare wheel

    Here are the exterior options:

    Two Tone Body Paint - nope
    Brake Calipers in Aluminum Color
    Brake Calipers in Gloss Black
    Brake Calipers in Blue
    Brake Calipers in Grigio Scuro
    Brake Calipers in Gold Color
    Brake Calipers in Rosso Corsa
    Brake Calipers in Rosso Scuderia
    Brake Calipers in Giallo Modena - yes
    Carbon Fiber Front Flaps - yes
    Carbon Fiber Side Air Splitter. - yes
    Carbon Fiber Engine Compartment - yes
    Carbon Fiber Rear Diffuser - yes
    Front Airvents In Carbon Fiber - yes
    Carbon Fiber Sill Cover - yes
    Carbon Fiber Wheel Caps - no. doesn't match rest of yellow accents
    Sport Exhaust Pipes- nope - they all turn black after some driving
    Titanium Sport Exhaust Pipes - nope
    Carbon Fiber Rear Moulding - yes
    Scuderia Ferrari Shields on Fenders - yes
    Two-Tone Stripe
    Racing Stripe - yes
    Ferrari Historical Colors - getting standard color
    20" Forged Gold Rims - dont like the gold rims
    20" Matt Grigio Corsa Painted Forged Wheels - not like these- prefer the standard
    Carbon Fiber Wheels - these would be great but not sure worth the money
    20" Chromed Painted Forged Wheels - nope



    so car is "optioned up" - cant really add too much more.

    The lifter is a must have for resale.

    CF wheels are a must have in my book but many are passing. Seems like these wheels are causing delays.

    Car lifter? Plenty of threads on this. Its not essential where I live. Have never needed it and I take my car on and off a lift weekly. And I have a somewhat steep driveway.

    Speciales don’t seem to have a hard time selling ... there are so few that the “must have” 458 options just don’t apply. I realize the Pista isn’t a limited edition but the star of the show is the engine ... can’t imagine a lack of lifter or standard radio is going to hurt. Buy what you want and enjoy the crap out of it.

    I think it goes way beyond resale. Does anyone have any idea just how much that carbon fiber front bar is worth? We aren't talking 488 splitter $'s here.

    Carbon wheels are showy but impractical for those who plan using their cars a lot. I guess if they weren't so expensive to replace it would be a different story.

    Just one more option that adds weight and could break. Dont need seat lifter either.

    That is in fact the package which includes the front wing, diffusor, side air splitters, sills and engine covers in carbon. Without the package, these parts will be black plastic, even if selected sepereately.

    A new bumper with the additional CF parts, painted and fitted at the dealer should come for around 40k. The unpainted bumper alone has a list price of 20k $ according to the spare parts list.

    It isn’t so much aren’t getting as can’t get. When I built mine it had been removed as an option. They were unable to be added between submission and now completed production. I have seen one set advertised on eBay for 44k.

    So you select the personalization pack instead of each individual piece in carbon?? It comes out about 10k less that way. No complaints here by me to save the money.

    You are going to more likely damage the front bumper if you hit a pot hole or dip in the road. A lift isn’t going to save you there. The loft is for negotiating steep driveway and such and as I’ve stated numerous times, I personally have never needed it on my current 488.
