    Those are really nice mods. Great job. I bought my F8 in 2020 and I’ve been considering adding a similar subwoofer and tweeters from Scuderia Audio. Also, I’ve looked into installing ALP laser jammers, but my installer in Hawaii hasn’t been sure of where to place the front and rear sensors. Would you mind posting close up photos of the front and rear placement? Thanks very much.

    I ended up not using the sub from Scuderia Audio but have something similar. The new TX sensor does not have to be as high off the ground as the prior generation tech so that helps with the front placement.

    I’m not too excited about how they did the rear as they tried to work around the battery tender connection. I may have them change it when I head back to ATL for my annual.

    I prefer the acrylic panel look that Showtime Audio in Chicago did for @Brian Sadler.

    Thanks Ivan. I haven’t done anything to it since other than enjoy it. Up to 5800 miles now. I did not understand your question “but I he didn’t you use the sub?”

    Glad to see us working this out together….

    I did not spec the upgraded system because Scuderia Audio’s solution at the time worked best (electrically?) with the standard system. Either OEM system from the factory, just from reading reviews, were probably going to fall short of my expectations for a $380k+ exotic. So I went with the basic and upgraded from there.

    I know, I know….‘the only sound system you need is behind you’. Whatever.

    Hey Andy, just came across this chat searching for how to black out my side markers. I'm taking delivery of my F8 Tomorrow then right over to the PPF shop. When you say, "painted" side markers, how or who painted them? is it easy and how much did that cost. Gorgeous car BTW!

    Thank you!
    Ferrari of Atlanta had a local shop literally paint the markers body color. Can’t recall the cost but it was minimal and quick. On my Bianca Avus/Nero roof 488 GTB, I covered them with a wrap in black.

    Yes. It’s on the side not middle but slightly angled to capture everything.

    Wow, just saw this list of all you did! Amazing! I love everything (well, except the stereo and floor mats lol)... especially interesting that you lowered the stock springs and added spacers... would love to see that in person. This car is gorgeous brother! love the interior as well.

    C’mon Todd….the mats and stereo rock! And I’m not typically a big stereo guy but I do like cranking out some 80’s rock every now and then. With my gpf delete I really need to blast it over the sound of the engine. ;) It’s therapeutic kinda like this:
