    Thank you everyone!

    Thinking of tinting the windows. Not sure how to replace the amber reflectors - anyone attempt?

    Sweet. I have one complaint about the 458. It is too damn fast! It is so difficult to restrain myself. That stallion just wants to run :-D

    Classy color. Interior pics?


    Congratulations.

    I'll definitely post more shots after this weekend (getting windows tinted). This far feels faster than the R8 V10 and it switches gears 10x better. The R8 V10 had clunky transmission, although that will change once they introduce an updated R8 with dual-clutch later this fall.

    I also picked up the C63 AMG Black Series - also a beast. I'd say the Ferrari feels faster, but not by a big margin. The Black Series is actually really bumpy compared to the 458.

    But yeah I agree, the 458 Italia is the best car ever - in my opinion. :)

    Both fantastic cars! Enjoy them both. Took delivery of mine yesterday and agree the 458 so far has proven to be a great replacement for my 997.2.

    A divine mix of cars .. the 458 is like a surgeon's scalpal, the C63 Black is a caveman's club. Both fantastic fun in their own unique way. Have fun!

    Congratulations!

    You and me seem to be have similar taste in cars but you have beaten me to having both !

    I have ordered a C63 (not BS) delivery sept 2012 and i have also ordered a 458 delivery 2013! I can see you in the C63 section over at MBworld too!

    Sadly in my part of the world, the waiting list is soooooooo long !

    Thanks dude. I actually like silver too. Black is great! But I opted for Grey since you can see more of the lines and curves.
