    Not the best pics- sent to me from my salesman's cell phone. Will post more when I get some better pics in case it helps anyone else trying to visualize their spec.

    I did brushed (instead of chrome) aluminum cavallino and 'Ferrari'on rear decklid.

    I'm torn as to whether or not to put a clear satin (not matte) wrap on the car or just put a 'regular' paint protection wrap on.

    Yeah, I clicked on this thread because I thought maybe his dealer had a fix for the brake issue. Seeing a new car was a pleasant surprise!

    I'm big on satin right now, I have my second satin wrap and a matte level on the G. Satin PPF would be superhot on a metallic like that, as it smooths out the shines and shadows and really makes sharp curves and lines pop visually:

    Stek is the leader in PPF film now. its hydrophobic properties are pretty insane. They have a regular and a matte version. Have the installer put on a sample of each?

    you have to replace the lug nuts to hex ones... :)

    Beautiful build. Congrats

    Congratulations. Beautiful Car and I really love the brushed Cavalino and Ferrari emblem. I agree that Ti lug bolts will look much better than chrome. By the Grace of God, my new F8 will be parked in that exact spot before year's end.

    I've not seen a clear satin wrap so I can't comment, but definitely any wrap besides matte imo.

    I love your color combination in particular the tan/ crema/ sabia? sport seats , nice that you didn't do yellow calipers...

    I have the satin emblems on mine too , nice look.

    Best of luck.

    Congrats! Stunning specification. Looks very clean without the shields. I also agree adding the titanium wheel bolts will make the car look even nicer.

    Satin emblems and Ferrari logo on rear deck lid? I assume these aren’t typical specs. Looks like you had a tailor made appointment for atelier in Manhattan?

    Thanks all. Yeah- I'm reasonably sure that I had specced the Ti lugs, but either way you can be sure that they (and some new MSPS4S- **** those Pirellis) will be on the wheels asap.

    I didn't care so much for the standard seat options, so while considering other choices it struck me that from the front/head on view, the 'shapes' formed from the stitching on the goldrake seats were similar to/'referenced' the shape and look of the front headlights area. Ferrari wouldn't do just the goldrake seats as an a la carte choice, so I just said **** it and did Atelier program so I could get the seats I wanted.

    I really like the way GS looks with the Sabbia.

    I didn't feel like going to NY, so I did the Atelier meeting virtually.

    Do you have to be invited to get an Atelier appointment or is this open to all clients?

    I was hoping they are the OEM forged Matt Grigio corsa wheels ..- it is very nice and has the smoked/blacked look

    You have to spend over 100k in options.

    They are the matte Grigio Corso wheels. It seems as though most don't care for the factory OEM wheels, especially in silver. I don't love or hate them in silver, but I think they look really good in the grigio corso.

    I will be changing the lugs, and also want to find a way to take out the CF center caps and exchange them with something that matches the rest of the wheel. I think finding matte brushed cavallinos for the wheel center caps is going to be a real sonofabitch...

    I easily did that on my F8 Spider and SF90 Spider order. I'll inquire with my SA about the atelier options for the SF90 but I could've sworn I was told they only get 1-2 appointments a year.
