Bummed about your scrape but at least the skid plates cover up. How easy was the installation? No screws into bumper? Time of install from start to finish? Thanks and congrats again!
So if you have a lift it’s super easy. Comes with a microfiber and prep solution that you wipe on and clean the underside of the carbon. Then you wipe on this alcohol pad type stuff that helps with adhesion. Not sticky or messy. Then all the skid plates have double sided tape you just peel and stick. I’m super OCD and it took me about an hour! It seems really adherent and good quality and the fitment is perfect. Attached is the aftermath Image Unavailable, Please Login
Someone else asked, this is what I sent him: Wheels are 20x9 ET 35 but I wasn’t happy so I added a 5mm spacer. This would yield an ET30. Rear is 21x13 ET40. I’d probably do ET41 if I could do it again. They are out a hair more if I’m being picky.
beautiful spec. im pretty sure thats the car thats been featured on youtube on "exotic car hacks" with pejman ghadini as the former owner
I wish I didn’t see that video for a couple of reasons. That guy got a great deal relative to what most of us are paying now. Kudos to him for his timing. Second reason is for me he was a little too blunt and outspoken. Nonetheless great car.
Here is a feel good video (I’m biased) my 13 yo son made of delivery day https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTRWPvAe1/
First trip to work this am. I’m going to have to get used to this thing. It was a bit nerve wracking honestly. Seemed wider and lower than 458. Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
Yes CF wheels. They look soooo good, but after todays drive to work I’m back to considering getting a set of OEM wheels. There was a pothole in my lane I could not see/avoid. Thankfully it was uneventful..
Yes. I can relate to the nervousness initially in driving our cars. The roads in the Northeast, specifically NY, are a disaster. They do look great though. Enjoy
Hey Brian, which area in NY are you? Do you go to car events often? I want to see your beautiful Pista one day.
There is a ridiculous high spec pista on BAT today that made me question my brand new f8 purchase. Have no idea what you paid for this Nero car but the bidding is at 510 on bat now.
no warranty. the Nero one has two year warranty which is bad ass and necessary with a purchase like this imo
Personally I know of a few people that have been less than pleased with the actual cars after a BAT purchase. I wanted a car from a Ferrari dealership with a documented history and Ferrari certified warranty. That piece of mind for me at this purchase level is priceless. The msrp of my car was $517k and I paid well above msrp but I feel I got a pristine well cared for example.
Piloti is the only LE Pista and prices will reflect it. It will stay at increased values so a better choice if resale matters.
Agree those are the Unicorn Pistas and I think they are gorgeous! If I owned one honestly I’d be less likely to drive it often. Personally I’m happier with a “regular” Pista I can drive!
As a 2020 I would think it would have a year left or would be way to have it inspected and get the extended warranty. However even without it these cars are super reliable. Really everything from the 458 onward have great reliability. I have a buddy with 120k miles on his 2013 458 and has not had a single issue or repair except oils changes and tires. Only only issues of late is the ORM batteries are crap and many folks are replacing them.
Collected my Pista last Saturday. It went straight into storage until the weather improves Image Unavailable, Please Login
Wow that car is STUNNING! Steering wheel on the wrong side for me so I don’t feel bad for missing out on it. Congratulations
