    Congrats! I was eyeing that beauty. I'm also a big fan of the metallic greens. That interior, and overall, just a gorgeous spec! Enjoy in good health!

    actually no real idea, had to go in for the kph/mph change and whatever else it needs for US.
    then ship down to FL.
    Im not sure how long the customs part takes... hours/days/weeks/months?

    the transport down to FL form Vancouver best part pf a week I would guess.

    if I see it before the end of July I will be very pleased.

    Dang…I’m sure you’ll be counting the days! Something to look forward to. I would HIGHLY recommend you fit the car with a Capristo Exhaust Controller. I recently (finally!) added that along with proper wheel spacers and both made a massive difference to me.

    Lol, I also have a RestoMod Jensen Interceptor coming from Holland will be interesting to see which one gets here first (its also Metallic Green)

    I have owned 2 2020 superfasts before , one with GPF and one without. I also have a 2018 V12 Lusso so the exhaust note variances are known to me. I have never had an after market exhaust tho as always a little worried about ferrari and their warranty shenanigans with after market stuff. My mechanic made some adjustment on my Lusso which effectively keeps the flaps open?

    I have the Hills Engineering 11mm front and 15mm rear on my Lusso, what is your recommendation on the GTS, I do agree a little widening if done properly makes a big difference.

    This car has no front lift, which isnt a problem for me here in FL at all, but won't be lowering it anytime soon!

    I do miss my pre-GPF 812 SF. The 812 GTS exhaust note is markedly different, but the drop top makes up for the sonic disparity. I went with the Capristo spacer setup mainly for the direct replacement titanium wheel bolt option. The wheel spacers are 14mm in the front and 17mm in the rear. To my eyes, it’s perfect, but I concede YMMV.

    Here’s some pics of the finished product:

    looks perfect : looks like Hills do a 13/15/20 option ($500 ish for a set )

    sounds like your 1417 might be the spot on Number , so I will do a little more research and put some on order.

    The seller just confirmed that the vehicle should be here within no longer than three weeks :)

    The 500$ Hill spacers includes steel bolts.
    If you take Hill spacer with the titanium bolts, Hill is also a little bit cheaper than Capristo, but only a little bit.

    Capristo includes titanium bolts and a certificate for F12, 812, 458, 488, .... to get them street legal here in Europe.
    For you US guys not important, but here in Germany and european countries essential.

    Congrats! Enjoy!

    I recommend an exhaust flap remote to help open things up!
