    I've been waiting for the car to get here from the San Francisco Ferrari store for nearly two weeks after signing the papers. Delays in service, weather across the nation and a transport issue (broke down in Texas along the way).

    I purchased this car with the intention of keeping my 812SF as the weekend mobile and daily driving the 488 GTB until my F8 build shows up.

    Upon arrival I had some ADV1 wheels ready to mount and lowered it about 10mm on the factory springs. The car drives excellent even with the 21/22 diameter setup.

    Next to its big brother:

    Congrats. I was looking at this car also. Red with black interior and racing seats are hard to find.

    When do you expect your F8 to show up? Maybe I can take it off your hands then. :p

    These were taken with one of my walk around camera bodies, Nikon D780 and a Tamron f/2.8 24-70 G2 piece of glass. Edited in LR with my own aesthetic preferences.

    So a few changes.

    Full front, rockers, impact zones PPF XPel Ultimate self healing film. 5% Xpel full ceramic window film (just sides). Paint was corrected and then fully ceramic coated including PPF parts. Lastly, new Vossen Forged 20/21 wheels rather than the ADV1 21/22 setup. I also opted for a narrower rear tire to reduce some of the understeer of my other setup.

    Thank you kindly. I plan to lower it a bit more now that I have my wheel situation nailed down.

    Considering same 20/21 setup, have you had any issues with the 325/30/21 rear? Increases the diameter a bit over stock- no problems with electronics and rides OK?
