    I received my third and last photo of my car from Ferrari today. I’m happy to see what looks to be Michelin tires installed, just as I requested. Anyway, I imagine it should be arriving in the US relatively soon.

    Curious, but how can you differentiate the Michelins from Perellis from that photo?

    Unless my eyes are deceiving me, I’m able to read the word “Michelin” on the sidewall of the rear tire. It makes sense, since my build spec lists “Michelin Tyres” (see bottom of attached pic).

    If your order says Michelin, then of course, that’s what would be on the car. I just thought you were seeing something in the photo that said Michelin.

    Congratulations. And you must either have quite an eye, imagination, desire for it to be what you want or all of the above!

    It just arrived today, so I'm guessing a max of a couple of weeks.

    First one I have seen in Nero - it looks fantastic. Now take it over to Glaswerks and have them PPF it for you. :)

    The Rosso seat and lower dash interior look spectacular with the Nero exterior and add a bit of pop to an already gorgeous car. Big congrats! It must be great to finally have it in hand.

    I’m somewhere in line for the spider and should find out more this weekend at FOCF.

    As for color, undecided at this point, Much as I love bianco, I’ve had so many white cars already, so I’m thinking Grigio, Rosso or Nero (or Giallo).

    You will love the Michelin tires! They grip well, not overly harsh..... the same as those used on some Teslas.

    Thanks! I'm having my local guys in Hampton Roads do the PPF for me. It's nice if you need repairs or anything to have them close.

    Thank you for the compliments! I think I'd go Grigio, personally. I'm a big fan of it on the F8.

    If you plan to use it for long drives, ask for the
    Most comfortable chair.

    Beautiful, just out of curiosity, if you were going to put on after market wheels, did you also spec the car with the Diamond Cut Forged wheels ($8k) option instead of just opting for the base wheels? Just wondering. Enjoy the car in good health.

    I had no interest in aftermarket wheels until a few months after I spec'd it.

    Thanks!

    Noticed that you have the surround view on your F8. Curious as to how you like it .... is it worth getting for the F8? Thanks.
