@day355 I've been hearing that paint prices have risen so much because of Zanasi, and that Ferrari are working to have all painting be done in-house, which in turn would bring the paint prices to a more reasonable level. Is there any truth to this?
@Kmaaq, I have zero information. But if they're able to lower costs, my guess is they will pocket the difference rather than pass it on to us. Unless they're seeing a dip in demand for the high cost paints. And I wouldn't have guessed that to be the case. Curious to hear if anyone knows the goings-on though.
We ordered a Piloti Car. This means we passed up on the spider in favour of the Piloti coupe. We have a Pista spider and a coupe 458 Speciale so it seemed fitting. There aren’t any pics I can find on the internet of other colours (I saw the red car at Le Mans) so I thought I would post some renderings of two of the other colours, the two we chose from. Notice the white wheel option rendered on the blue car. I think it looks good, although we chose the silver car.

What's the appeal of the piloti? Why is it any more desirable than the coupe? I understand the aperta's desirability and rarity, but why choose the piloti over the aperta? Seems like a coupe with a special livery.
