    I really enjoy your photos as your car looks nearly identical to mine :). I took have corsa exterior red calipers black interior with red stitching and carbon throughout. I don't have the carbon race seats as I wasn't comfortable enough in them (hurt my back and the daytonas hurt after a few hours too unfortunately). On the back I have the carbon insert and had my wheels painted grey over the diamond cut afterwards. Other than that I don't see much difference......great choices!!!

    Thanks for all the compliments.
    That was my 458!
    An 18 month painful wait from time of order to time of delivery back in 2010/11.
    I guess you bought it from my F dealer in Tampa a few weeks ago.
    Glad you like it. Enjoy!
    B.T.W. The Capristo should be left switched on all the time, for the best sound effects.
    Do you know it has Blinder laser jammers installed, so not much chance of a speeding ticket!

    Awesome!
    Thanks for reaching out.
    I absolutely adore the car, she is a beauty and drives like a dream.
    The Capristo is 100% on all the time, and I only ever put her in auto mode until the oil temp has come up to the recommended minimum per the owner's manual.

    I bought it from Josh Goode and Heath, both were very professional. I very much liked the experience there and would recommend them again to anyone.

    I must commend you on the upkeep of the car, the paint is perfect and the interior looks like it came right out of the factory.

    I should also mention that your taste is outstanding, the car could not have been better specc'd IMO!

    What are you driving now?

    It has the Capristo remote, and sounds unbelievable at 8-9K rpm. :)

    My kids say they can here me coming home a good 10 min before I get there.

    Italiafan - great to hear that.
    Your pics make me wish I never sold it!
    But... time to move on.
    Haven't chosen a replacement for it as of yet. Nothing out there at this time really takes my fancy. So in the meantime I'm happy for my wife to chauffeur me around in her Rolls!
    Maybe I will order a 488. Not sure.
