    Hi all! We picked up our '15 458 spider just about a month ago. We've added nearly 800 of our own miles, and each one has been utter perfection. The noise of a Ferrari NA v8 with the top down is simply unbelievable! Previously had a giallo F430berlinetta. Great, but just cannot be compared. I can't even remember what color interior the turbo s has.......or what a porsche is :D

    Anyway here's a few pics. Looking forward to hanging around here :).

    Congrats I'm at the same time of ownership as you. I have 1200 miles on mine but 300 were driving back front the dealer where I bought it.

    Best car I've ever owned and just had it on the track for the first time.

    AWESOME!

    Congrats. A top down ferrari is a wonderful experience. Going under overpasses or tunnels will never be the same again

    Glad to hear that. It warms the heart of each and every 458 owner to know that a fellow owner is also head over feet regarding his car.

    Wish you many more miles of happiness behind the wheel of your fantastic Spider!

    Kind regards,

    Nuno.

    If you like sound, unplug the vacuum lines so the baffles stay open all the time. Heaven.

    And you can still enjoy the engine/exhaust music with the top up and the rear window down. Enjoy.

    And it's easy to go back to stock if you don't like it...just reconnect the lines. :)
