    After owning 8 Corvettes,5 Vipers a 300ZX TT 71-Z-28 and over 20 sport motorcycles my dream has come true..In October of 2010 I took possession of a 2007 599 with only 1380 on it. MSRP was 338,77 with some nice options which included the 6 piece luggage set,Bose,Led wheel,Full carbon interior and full leather among others.
    I have only driven it a total of about 200 miles and so far I have to say its the most aesthetically pleasing and mechanically engineered car that I have have ever owned.
    I have thought about what it must feel like to own a Ferrari and this car has exceeded all my expectations... It has a great blend of torque,ample power (for my needs)comfort all wrapped in a beautiful body. I don't think I could ask for more as a first time owner of this fine marque.
    I have added some additions to personalize it a little and hopefully not compromise its heritage so to speak. I think they look good and hope most people approve,lol.
    Last of all I would like to thank the vendors who supplied my additions and my wife who has put up with my crazy car buying antics and helped me realize my dream..Please enjoy:)

    (MA.Carbon):Carbon overlay on mirrors,door handles,interior vent rings.Supplied Ferrari C/F center caps.

    (Andrew Reavi): Custom mats.

    (Steve Harris Imports Zach,Craig,Brian,Albert : Fully serviced and installed the handling portion of the HGTE kit,skid plates,installed straight pipes in place of my secondary cats, fixed a few small items and put up with all my questions.

    Schneider Auto-body and paint:painting of my HGTE wheels.

    Congrats on the new ride.

    Grey is color that is really well suited for the 599 IMO.

    I really like the two first pictures from above. An unusual angle that makes the car look even more sick.

    Make the rear Ferrari horse black like on the GTO and you are golden! Honestly one of the nicest 599's I have ever seen.

    Invest in a set of GTO wheels and you'll be complete. Huge upgrade in handling, breaking and looks department.

    Ken,
    I might be the only person on here that thinks the HGTE wheels look better..I like the exposed hardware and the fact that they do have some paint and some polished parts.
    As far as the handling and breaking departments I cant argue with you but my 599 will probably not see much track time so I would think my wheels with the HGTE suspension bits will be fine for my needs. Finally, I know its part of Ferrari ownership but the cost of the GTO wheels does not justify the means in MY case. Respectively,Kevin
