    ...or get the roof sprayed in red. Car looks great, I have just always thought black roof takes a lot away from the natural profile lines of a car (especially 599, Hyuara & Laferrari). 599 is such a beauty and will age very well. Enjoy!

    I had Norwood do a cat delete on my 599 and I couldn't be happier. Well, if it was free, I would be happier...

    We used the Larini cat delete pipes. The exhaust is much more throatier and on pipe, sounds like an old F1 car exiting the pits.

    Much more snap in the engine from low to mid rpms also.

    Something I think you should consider.

    Congrats on the purchase.

    I bet that does sound good. I have the HGTE Exhaust and obviously disconnected the vacuum hoses. I am satisfied - couldn't imagine taking off the secondary cats...

    Mine is HGTE as well. It sounds incredible and actually runs a bit cooler as well.

    ...Sounds cooler too...

    Once you pull the cats you'll wonder why you waited so long to do it...

    Gto grille was from Tampa bay Ferrari. Actually I just googled gto grille and it's the first thing that popped up on eBay.

    Agreed. Since she is for sale - I'm not gonna go through the headache of having to put them back on for a buyer.

    Now whenever I get my 456 of California - I will definitely pull em'!

    Yeah, I was the ***** that just said I would buy a California. The technology is too great to pass up. After the 599 I am a fan of the advancements.

    I very much appreciate your being so specific as to your physique as I too am in the market for a 599 (GTB, GTO, HTCG?), but after seeing videos and reviews, I haven’t, until now, been able to ascertain just how much legroom the 599 had? I’m 6’2” 220lbs with a 33” inseam with wide shoulders 44”L, but not 48”! So it would seem the 599 will fit me just fine! Txs!

    I am 6'6", 200 lb, 35/36" inseam and I fit fine in my 599. NOTE: you may have to fiddle with the seat recline & position so your head clears the rollover protection in the roof but it is pretty easy to adjust and once set, you won't give it a second thought.
