    Interesting. Did you found out a way to not paint the front grill black or am I mistaken?

    Looks great though! I want a CF option for the wheel. I didn't see it.

    Standard seats do look good.

    No. At first, I saw the selection under "Additional Options" for "Painted inner Grilles" and thought that was it. Turns out that's for the speaker grilles.

    I don't understand the standard setup for the dual color interior. Is it possible to pick two colors that look nice together? Sheesh. Might as well go straight to the Atelier.

    Did anyone else notice that there is a virtual race that you can upload your configured 458 to and race it? I'm downloading it right now.

    Does anyone have an idea of what "AFS frontlight system" is? It's listed under exterior additional options.

    It's the adaptive system where the lights turn as you go round a corner to provide better illumination of the road ahead.

    Thanks! Always been an enormous fan of Ferraris in general!

    Hopefully I'll be behind the wheel of one sooner than I think!

    I still think it looks the best in either red (any of them) or yellow.

    There's nothing worse than getting confused about which red/tan Ferrari is yours parked out there with 20 other red/tan Ferraris. :D It does look good but it gets old very quickly.

    I must be always looking at the "stupid" details...

    Looks like they messed up the wheel colours. Pics so far have shown the standard wheels slightly dark and polished and the 16M's with a classic finish. In the configurator looks like the other way round.
