    I absolutely love it and feel extremely fortunate that the 2004 575M Edo Competition now part of my collection. The wide body is a thing of beauty, the sound is exquisite, the drive is fantastic as well. My wife might not agree about the drive and comfort of the racing seats, but that's a her problem;-)

    I found this older thread https://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/threads/extreme-575.235925/ so I know there were some mixed feeling about it back then.

    These are the dealers pics, as nice as they are, they don't do this beast justice. I'll post more when I get her into my garage...

    Don't quite understand why it's a convertible. Especially with the roll cage it seems very confused on what it's supposed to be.

    Aside from that, executed very well.

    Wow, that's a very cool build. I like it. Agree on the seats though, I'd swap to a comfort seat.

    I don't mind the seats, or the ride in them. I wonder if it's worth the manual transmission swap, but this summer I'll enjoy it as is.

    That cannot be easy to get into with the top up.

    The in and out isn't bad at all surprisingly. Getting the handbrake up and down with the lower roll cage is a different story.
    I can just stare at the widebody and smile from ear to ear. Which is all I can do on days like this in Montreal where we wake up with snow on the gound!

    Are these subwoofers behind the seats?

    Holy cow I figured those were merely support structures where the pillars were cut but how about 1,500 WATTS POINTED AT YOUR HEAD! :D:D

    Now if could get the radio code from Ferrari to listen to it, that would be great! That said I don't think I've ever turned the radio on in my 512TR, a screaming 12 is the only music I need.

    That’s great man. What a ride. Kudos to you, that is hilarious that you do not have the radio code. I am certain there is a way to obtain it outside of Ferrari. I wish I could recall the specifics on that for you.

    Sweet NACA ducts.

    I'm waiting on them to get back to me. I'd like to keep the original radio, one of the few original things on the car. I need to change head unit on my 512 and 430 ones they came with older aftermarket that previous owners installed and just suck. I was hoping to keep the original in this beauty!

    I kinda like it actually! And one thing is for certain, you will never see yourself at a stoplight.

    The code is easy to figure out. Contact Scott here and he can tell you from the serial number:
