    My buddy David Freed at Premier Motorsport and I just finished some nice little mod's to my white spider, eliminated all colors except for white, black and carbon. Along with some Novitec goodies I think it's tasteful and not over done, hope you guys like it too. It rides amazing for being so slammed, I cant say enough about the Novitec springs, they function perfectly at this height.

    That looks perfect, good job!

    Lowered on OEM wheels with wheel's spacers, my favorite, I love it :)

    Do you mind sharing the wheel's spacers spec? No rubbing? Thanks ahead.

    Obviously, I agree, but if you want to be a "true" member of the "club" (lol) black out the little horsey and word "Ferrari" on rear lid. Best

    I like in particular the white caliper and the 458 spider script at the back row ! V unusual and tasteful .

    Looks BEAUTIFUL until you Blacked Out the Ferrari Horse Logo. It doesn't look good at all. If you don't have the Challenge Grill, it's okay to blacked out the Horse, but...... In your case, having it original goes well with the Challenge Grill.

    We took all the horses off the car (fender badges, center caps, front bumper, rear carbon segment) and the Ferrari script on the rear deck lid and had them media blasted and sprayed in a flat clear coat. I don't like the chrome look for this build, the patina finish IMO is such a cool detail.
    Also, if you look really closely, the front hood badge was ceramic painted white instead of yellow. Yeah, we didn't miss a beat on this one....."God is in the details" as they say.

    Terrific job, probably the best looking Spider I have ever seen. Perfectly optioned as well, very tasteful with the racing seats.

    Hahaha! I was thinking just the same, this looks like B&W stuff...

    Nice work, the stance is just awesome and, while I get your point as for the colour scheme, I would still keep those tiny bits of colour from rear headlights and maybe wheel caps and SF shields.

    Yes, but you missed the steering wheel :)

    Seriously though, your Spider looks fantastic! It's a tad too low in the front for me personally but otherwise it is spot on!!!
