    after 13 months of waiting, my 458 finally arrived. been looking at all your beautiful 458's since last year. almost gave up waiting but finally it came. unfortunately, the seats came standard ( i chose diamond seat with twotone interior ) but i can live with standard seat for now. dealer promised to send another set later. (god knows when) i guess the factory was making too many of the car that they stop paying attention to small details . i tell myself hey that is the beauty of ferrari. I still love it very very very much. this is actually third in the country , and now i understand why they warned the 430 owner not to drive a 458 cause any 430 including the scud would never feel the same


    ............PS: dont be offended or intimidated by my username as i forgot my other account password and all the cool name already taken so somehow i end up with this.

    happy new year everybody. drive in good health.

    Congrats on the arrival of your 458 after a long wait! The red/red color combination is quite an interesting change from the usually seen red/tan that is so popular. I like the look with that red dash but still having a black steering wheel.

    Wow that's one of the few two tone interiors I've seen. Looks great. Very creative!

    I have the diamond stitching and really like the look. I haven't seen one in two tone so please post pics if you ever get the seats replaced. Enjoy your new 458. It never gets old driving it.
    Cheers

    By diamond seat do you mean the racing seats?

    Of course it will be different, but it really supersedes even the 430S?

    Diamond stiching is not racing seat it is just one of the option where u can redesign ur standard seat. I like it cause it make ur seats look different but still very comfortable.
