    I prefer a single stripe maybe with an outline color for the stripe better than the Scud dual stripes that were popular.
    I liked the thin black stripe on the 16M but a livery has to respect the scale of the car. Some thin stripes appear lost on the modern wide cars. You just have to look around as there are infinite numbers of potentially useful ideas and then it comes down to personal taste.

    I recently saw,an SF90 that had the red lower dash, and it did not work.

    I would add the following.

    Red door inserts
    Red horizontal dreamline across the dash
    Red alcantara carpet

    Those three things are very visible and while subtle, still very noticeable.

    The red lower dash in the SF90 ties in poorly with the shapes and design in my opinion. Inserts and lines work much better.

    Heading to the dealer Tuesday to play around with the configuration. I will try some of these ideas, thanks!

    I believe red piping is also an option on those seats.

    These are from today at Festivals of Speed Orlando Ritz Carlton. Our first glimpse in the flesh. Wife loves the look of the SF90, especially the front.

    Unfortunately both were privately owned so nothing more than a peek inside through the windows.

    IMO the front really makes all predecessors seem dated - including the Pista (in the middle pics) and my old 458.

    I can’t imagine what it must be to have a Spider waiting in the wings. I’ll have to satisfy myself with the incoming F8 Spider and my new STO, which just arrived at the dealer on Thursday.

    I don’t know the price tag of the SF90 Spider, I’m assuming it’s close to an even trade with the two inbound cars.

    Am I jealous? No, life is short. If you’ve earned it, you deserve it!

    The F8 is an awesome car you will love it! I actually can’t decide if I will keep it or not when the SF90 arrives.

    My spec is coming in at $685,000. I won’t get it for 2 years but when I do come to Michigan for a ride!

    The guy next to it set off the alarm looking inside. Dealer brought the clients car.

    Not worrying about price per se and after seeing it in person at the dealer last week confirmed my decision


    Good show. Limited Ferrari but much other cool stuff as well.

    Buddy, those cars are so inherently different that they can easily coexist. Due to the amount of luggage space for example, there are things the F8 can do that the SF90 will have to look in the Michelin guide for. On the flipside, the SF90 can offer some things from a driving perspective that the F8 can only dream of. Don't waste a bunch of time thinking about what to do with the F8. Plenty of time to figure that out, and do it once you have both cars. Enjoy your F8 and have fun waiting for your SF90:)

    Awwww heck, I thought they were considerably more than that. Hmmmm, two years is not that bad of a wait with the stable I’ll have in the meantime. I want to see the 296 before I place a deposit for the SF90, definitely will be the spider version. Blu Pozzi would kill it in that car (the F8 Spider is Scuderia, so that’s my red mulligan right there),

    Oh the F8 won’t be going anywhere until the SF90 arrives. I will enjoy every mile while waiting!

    If you want an SF90, I would not rely on email at this stage, I would show up in person. A call as a bare minimum

    I called today and reached my dealer. I got a definite maybe, which means their allocations are presently spoken for, but that could change.

    He said in the case of the 812 GTS, they did increase and everyone who wanted an allocation got one.

    I have a little time, but being the eternal optimist, I’m inclined to throw my hat in the ring.

    Congratulations Buddyg, this car is going to be amazing.

    I had placed my order and deposit two weeks ago for the spider. Now is the long wait and choosing the specs and colours.
    My pista is argento, which i really like, so i am thinking daytona or blue pozzi for the sf90

    Congrats! We can commiserate together during the long wait! Of course the pain will be eased by your Pista and my F8!

    I’m not guaranteed a car, but going ahead with a deposit for the Spider. It will be Blue Pozzi this time around ( I very nearly did the F8 at spec lock but was a last minute thing and didn’t have the energy to change the entire color scheme). In the ideal world I’d actually go with white seats, but I know better…..

    Lucky for you, and I remain cautiously optimistic I’ll get in the door.

    Good luck wthensler.
    and I agree on staying away from white seats.
    are you able to look at other dealers that may have better chance future allocations ?
