    So after A lifetime of dreaming and about 10 years of near misses i'm finally pulling the trigger on a 458 spider! The car is in Cincinnati and I was hoping somebody could recommend a good place to send it for a PPI. There's an authorized dealer about 45 minutes from the car but not sure if they do PPIs. Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Cheers!

    Thanks, photos will follow as soon as possible. However, I will be making a number of upgrades to the car to have it exactly how I would have specked it from the factory. Although I want to make sure that nothing will look aftermarket. Has to appear straight out of Maranello. The car is rosso corse with black interior. Racing seats, and LED steering wheel. Upgrades will include additional carbon fiber, the factory forged 10 spoke lightweight wheels, and one or two other tweaks

    thanks all. As promised, here's a pic ;-) Sorry about being a tease but I kind of don't want to show the car until I have it completely fitted exactly the way I want it.

    One helluva entry to Phrary-ownership! Your planned updates sound great. Also that it's Rosso / Nero... a classic combo which I prefer too.
