    the good news is there is nothing big/glaring/deal breaking with the 458. You are safe from 2010 on. i owned 2 2010s and never had an issue.

    Welcome Jeff, good luck in your search! The only thing I can see is hold out for the specs you'd like that can't be added later - otherwise, you're going to be in love no matter what :)

    Technically probably every option can be added later. It's just that some would make no financial sense to do so due to astronomical costs.

    For example, carbon fiber parts are easy to add. Just pop the old panel off and pop the carbon one on.

    Something like a front lifter? That's way harder to install aftermarket
