    I am having troubling deciding and have to decide by the end of the week. My top choice so far is black black. I am very nervous because black cars are very hard to keep clean in addition there are not a lot of trustworthy detailers in South Florida. I still might order it but not sure. I am also considering yellow black but my 360 was yellow and I have owned several yellow p cars. Here are my choices.

    1. Black/Black
    2. Yellow/Black
    3. Red/Black
    3. Silver/Black ala Jack

    Or Rosso Rubino, but these aren't the colour's you've listed. Out of the list I'd have to say avoid black unless you plan on putting black rims on it, that way it would be a totally evil car. Otherwise, I'd advise Red or Yellow, not Silver as it's too common of a colour for any car these days.

    I'm a big fan of yellow, so yellow/black/yellow piping and/or stitching would get my vote. In the interest of sparking more conversation, one color that I think should NOT be overlooked in any prospective ordering process is Rosso Fiorano - possibly the most gorgeous color I've ever seen in person. On a 355, it absolutely KILLS, so I can only imagine how great it would look on a 430.

    I saw a black one yesterday and it was ok. Not the best color for the car. TdF would be perfect!

    Duane, if you are going to put black rims your best bet is Nero/Nero with yellow sticthing/inserts, or if your a fan of the yellow exterior: yellow/black with yellow stitching.

    As great as they look, I'd never buy another black car (unless it was a one of a kind). Absolute heartbreak to keep clean.

    Silver is a nice stealth color, if you want to go subtle.

    Red gets my vote.

    (Oh - and CONGRATS!!)

    Black may take alittle more time to keep nice, but i thought that was part of owning a Ferrari. The black sure does look good when finished

    Black on black with yellow piping and calipers. Throw some black HRE's on there and holy crap you're set.

    Duane,

    Be a man -- get Black -- Black/black interior/yellow stitching on the sports seats/yellow tach/carbon fibre/shields/yellow calipers -- you know the drill. :D

    Yellow/black if you want to stand out more or else silver/black. Don't forget the yellow calipers.

    Arling are you getting a yellow one? If so what month production is it going to be and what other options?

    Arling did not spec out his car -- he found one at a dealer back east.
