    Hi Picked up this 2019 yesterday at Ferrari of New England, car had 260 miles on it. Fell in love with car when I saw color but was very hesitant to buy because the interior is very different than my normal all black. Finally decided to shake things up and give it a shot. I like personalizing a car with a lot of modding, car I traded in was a Huracan that was loaded in and out with carbon fiber and other mods including a supercharger. So going to start a build thread for car

    I first saw that color on a friend's 812... for me that's easily the best blue Ferrari has ever used.

    Got the new paddles today and much better. I didnt like how the stock were shorter on the bottom and made it a little tougher to shift when turning, I was use to my Huracan which had bigger paddles. Total install time less than 15 minutes. Now hardwiring radar detector, saw here easiest fuse panel to get to is by removing dash piece on drivers side. Now I need to think about an exhaust? I had Fabspeed X-Pipe on my Huracan so thinking maybe that for car? Any other good options and no valves needed

    My 2c - Novitec is the best. Get the full header/straight pipes or race cars/exhaust setup....instant f1, unique sound, what the 458 is meant to sound like.
    Kline or s-line offers similar sound but not quite as dramatic as Novitec for much less.

    Love all that carbon, over the top, great,

    Also not sure if any here are using Pitaka phone magnetic charger/holder? My car didnt come with Apple car play but this pretty much takes care of that for me. I ran cord through trim and then out dash right to holder so no unsightly cord. Makes it so much easier having power going to holder so no unplugging phone every time you take off holder. The vent location I have it on makes for a good location when using waze

    Do you need a magnetic case or will a regular IPhone stick to it, no case?

    I distinctly remember seeing your BLUBUL huracan at all the Boston cars and coffees. I really like all the modifications you’ve done thus far and my vote is for the novitec exhaust. I’m looking forward to seeing the 488 this summer at the shows! That color is absolutely fantastic and also very rare to see on a Ferrari.
