    After several years and many drives in 458s, I decided to pull the trigger on one for myself. I had been looking around for a loaded up yellow car and found the car I was searching for last week. It arrived on Wed. I immediately pulled of the original clear bra and had the whole car polished and then 100% clear bra done. On Thursday, it was treated to a full undercarriage detail, all lower panels were removed and cleaned and any exposed bolts touched up with anti-rust paint. Friday, Novitec Springs were installed along with 20"/21" HRE wheels. I spent some time driving it yesterday, it's a nice driver. Not as raw as my Scud, but will make a fun car for me and my wife to drive. I need to do something with the exhaust, I do not like it, it's quiet then loud, no transition. Might just do some turbos like my Scud.:)

    Great looking collection of cars. Get the Capristo remote for a quick fix for the on/off on/off sound. I installed the Capristo remote on my 12' Italia and its the best mod I could ever do, about $900 bucks installed at the F car dealer. I drive with valves open most of the time. The on/off sound stock drove me nuts, actually frustrated me, had to fix it!!

    Best of luck, love all the HRE wheels and cars you have, very very nice.
