    The perfect super GT car. Congratulations, it will be a knock out. The only question I had is why you felt you needed the lifts. Do you have a special problem with steep access driveways etc.?

    Thanks! I do have a big driveway lip but remedied by a ramp. Dealer will probably install scrape pads under front nose too. But i do know that a several spots i frequent that have steep driveways. I could angle it but lately been noticing a lot of women (no offense haha) who turn REALLY wide goin in when im goin out or vice versa. Rather be safe then sorry. Speed humps too.

    Should be awesome.

    One thing I do not understand is why there are fewer colors available for the F12 on the configurator as the 458.

    Also, there is no two tone interior option which surprises me.

    For me, I would get the CF driving zone but... it's not my money. :)

    Thank you. I wouldnt say i was steered away from aluminum, i actually began to lean towards Giallo Triplo Strato after looking a pics, seeing sample materials, n playing with configurator at dealer today.

    I love the 458 coupe or spider in Triplo Strato but unsure about F12 as there arent many examples to see.

    Aluminum popped up again n decided maybe argento n then a matte wrap.

    But after swaying back n forth, trying many diff combos on configurator,it came back to white. I think white is the perfect color. Not too "heyyy look at me", sexy, sporty, classy... Every quality i would look for in a ferrari.

    Its a No lose, safe bet color on top of one of my favs.

    Its odd. F12berlinetta.com has the new colors plus i believe more than ferrari.com configurator. Dealers is a ferrari.com config on roids but similar choices. Only 2 int options on F12...com but on ferrari.com, u can do 2 tone interior.

    As for drivers zone, CF is getting kind of "played out" IMO. The LED's r cool but when im stompin hard enough for them to come in to play, im not lookin at steering wheel.

    Nothing is final yet, and i have been known to make last second changes. Hahaha

    An excellent spec although a little "safe" imho. Every time I see the triple yellow in person, it looks great -- much better than flat yellow and I imagine it will look killer on the F12 Berlinetta. I like that you kept the CF under control as I think it will start to look dated in not so long and it serves no structural advantage. The interior on this one will be timeless...

    Cant really say?! Hard to put my finger on a clear reason. Unknown price tag of $28K/possibly more? I have trouble finding an int color scheme that i really like? Im biased towards white?

    My apologies to all, i did warn that i get all over the place around spec time :)

    It's not my choice of course, but I would stay away from any of the matte paints simply because of the large dose of extra angst in caring for them. Also I can't get over the feeling that matte is a bit too trendy, esp. on a GT car. A wrap to satisfy any temporary urge for that kind of look would do me fine. I would do a triple layer well before a matte paint.

    As for White Avus, it is great on the f12, as it is on the 458. It is perhaps the best combination of modern and sporty. But those are just words for visual impressions.

    I did realize that argento with a clear matte wrap would suffice for more than $20K less n is reversible. Just not big on argento.

    Your visual impressions i'd say r quite accurate!

    Not sure. 3-4 months after submitted, by dealer? Supposedly no allocation yet. Dealer wanted me to have my spec done so they have it ready to submit.
