    Are you doing anything to the exhaust?


    May the Horse be with you

    Looks really nice, inside and out !!

    Matte carbon really sets off the tricolore steering wheel.

    ....... 4-6 weeks is an awful long time :confused:

    Good lord, that's gorgeous. I'm stealing some of your ideas for my F8 spider.

    Probably Novitec SS since Kline doesn't seem to be working on one for the F8.

    So exciting. What was your deposit to delivery time?

    did the dealer give any guidance on exhausts that will preserve the warranty?

    9 months.

    I think they said it would void my warranty. But... I don't have the car, I don't have the exhaust and it is not mounted yet. So let's see what happens in this long period of time.

    They are similar. Fuji is creamier, more offwhite or pearly. Dominates the night. It is the best worn nightgown. Italia dominates the day while still looking really, really good (but not as stunning) during the night. That is why I went with Italia.

    I almost bought a 458 with that color interior - really amazing color. Very classy.

    It blends so well with black interior and any color exterior.

    Don’t remember everything on your upgrade list, are you doing the exhaust as well?

    Nice thats what I’m leaning towards... have you heard that setup in person? Hoping it’s not too loud, but it seems the valved setup is not enough of an improvement. Guess I’ll wait till you get your car back with your impressions before I make the dive...

    It will happen after I get all my exterior done. It will take a little while because I am having the front lip/bumper intake, sideskirts and rear diffuser painted Nero to match the roof. Then paint correction, PPF and ceramic.

    With regards to the Novitec exhaust, I spoke to @carz80am with regards to his exhaust, He likes it a lot. He says it sounds much better than stock, much louder than stock but from what I could take, not obnoxiously so. However, he told me not to expect a 720s or even a Pista sound. Slightly less loud. However, it isn't the loudness but the quality of the sound that it generates.

    Here I include the link to the video, couldn't embed it. I am sure you have watched it. Unfortunately, as with all videos; this one doesn't do justice either. The music is too loud and gangsta but the car is beautiful and the sound difference does come through a little. Hope you enjoy it.

    Novitec sounds better than stock pista and 720s, said it doesn't sound as good as a 458/speciale or f12/812.

    Definitely don’t want obnoxious sound, had an F430 with headers, OEM cats and S-line exhaust. Sounded great, but was definitely on the obnoxious side. Neighbors and woke tards hated me. Think I am gonna try the race exhaust with the OEM cats, hopefully that will be the sweet spot. I will be doing a before and after dyno too, I’ll willing to bet with no valves and much larger diameter pipe, there will be a loss of some low end TQ. How much I’m curious to know.

    Tints look great and really tie the black roof theme down very nicely :)

    Car looks great in video-what percentage of light does your tint allow?
