    gotta see it live. Thinking of exhaust mods and probably some interior upgrades. I had Novitec suspension on my 458 and on the F12, thinking of doing that as well, but want to see it.

    Thx Impex, struggled with the Griggio Alloy, love it 90% of the time but 10% it hues up a real baby blue. The Matte helps I think flatten that part of the paint. I like the "frozen" look anyway but think it really helped sell me on the Alloy.

    I originally ordered my car in alloy but went darker because of the interior I chose.
    It does hue up baby blue in the photo but I know that is not how it really looks.

    I think you need to take the photo in sunlight rather than 5k fluorescent light.

    Thanks guys looking forward to really getting eyes on it. Impex your right it's different in sunlight I'll see if I can pull the photo in sunlight with the matte clear. Should be fun.....now if we can just get rid of the ice storms....

    I'll get some interior pics up, not super high spec but fine. Love the guys at Lakeforest, I've known Dan for 6 years or so great crew. Don't have impressions yet of this car, haven't driven it, have driven a bunch of 488's and I like the thing a lot even relative to my 458 (I know some people don't agree here). The F12 is my taking the wife out car, I love it and its pretty I'll get more aggressive with the 488, may exhaust and tune it. Very excited for delivery date next Friday (weather permitting).
