    Just got the call today. Had my salesman send me some shots. I'm still in awe. I'll be picking up the car on Wednesday, and boy will I be excited until then! Here's my photos. First 6 are of the car exterior/interior and last 2 are the mats I had custom made for it, which match it perfectly. I had the nose painted white and got black wheel caps from extra campanario.

    I plan on painting the wheels matte black, calipers white, blacking out the red/orange lights on the back and sides of the car, and painting the chrome horse in front black and painting the chrome emblems on the back in black. I also plan on getting the 3M clear plastic bra and tint done on Wednesday after I pick up the car. I'll post pics of the final product when everything is done.

    It's worth the wait when you see the photos of your creation!

    If you please not destroyed not a work of art an array must remain authentic and not deformed by the tuning, your car is perfect. Why the American you have the habit of turning everything?

    Thanks for your opinion. It's my car and I'll do what I think looks best with it. I could give 2 ****s what you think. And I'm proud to be an American.

    Love it!

    Where did you get the floor mats?

    They look cool. I may want to get them too.

    Did you ask for the area behind the cavalino to be painted white? Otherwise I think is is black? Yes you --did just re read your post.

    I actually like the standard flat black color for my calipers better than yellow or red because my exterior color is Daytona Black and my wheels are the two tone forged diamond finish.

    White for your car should be very nice. Can't wait to see the pics!

    Love your car the way it is. Beauty.
    However, nothing wrong with personalizing it to your taste.

    europeanfloormats.com. The guy, Rick, is based out of LA. Mats look spectacular in person, love them. Yes, I paid extra for the area behind the cavalino to be painted white. Otherwise it's a black plastic. I like it a lot more with the white. Plus, I knew I painting the horse black and it would stand out a lot more against the white background.

    your car looks awesome too brother, love it! I'll post the pics of the final product when it's all complete.

    Yes, it's an aesthetic perfection anyway it comes. Everyone just individualizes theirs the way they dreamed it.

    Here's pretty much exactly how my car will look after it's done being customized. I think in these photos the car looks much more aggressive and sporty. I'm a young guy, so I like it that way. I can't drive anything stock.

    Gorgeous spider! I noticed your paddles aren't carbon fiber. But, you have the steering wheel and the rest in carbon. Mine has what your car has, but has the carbon paddles? Wonder why? I think your mods will make it look perfect. Congrats.

    Congratulations! Looks perfect, love the painted front. I think all the mods will look very tasteful! Do you think the side markers would look better with a white cover instead of black, essentially removing/hiding them?

    Lmao. Nice respone!

    Love your mods to come! The White nose and painted Cavalino up front look bad ass! Curious... why didn't you just have the factory paint the calipers in White while it was being built?
    Also curious why paddles aren't carbon. Or is that a glare that's making them look like the standard grey finish?

    Enjoy this ride man!! Look forward to seeing the finished product too!

    One other thing... ever consider the C.f. fender badges?? Those would look great with the White/Black theme. I actually have an authentic set I may consider selling. :)

    I got carbon fiber everything basically but didn't do the driver zone because I thought it was a waste of money. Think it was another $5K just for the paddle area. You must have selected that option on your car. I got the carbon steering wheel with LEDs, carbon center bridge, and carbon dash, but left off the driver zone. Thanks a lot, appreciate it. Put up a picture of your car in this thread so I can see yours too.

    Thank you! I didn't even think a white cover was possible, where do you get those? I've never heard of that before. I like how it looks in black since the wheels will be black from the side anyway. Either way would look better than orange/red side markers IMO.

    Thanks! White calipers wasn't an option from the factory, they don't offer it. That's why I'll have it done afterward. I asked my salesman about it. Paddles aren't CF because I didn't do the CF driver zone. I think it was an extra 3K over the CF steering wheels with LED's and I didn't think it was worth the cash just for paddles. I didn't really consider the CF fender badges but shoot me a PM and we can discuss it if you have a set. Thanks.

    No problem! :)

    I'm not sure if they are sold individually but I imagine any detailer experienced with vinyl wrap could get a matching white and cut out the small pieces to apply across. It would achieve that clean look while appearing less 'aftermarket' and more 'euro model.'

    Just my .02! Good luck and please post more updates and driving reviews.

    F.y.i., I had a couple White R8's in the past where I had my body shop just paint the side markers White. Looks really good and keeps from breaking up a rather smooth side shot with a break of two black specs so-to-speak.
