    Hi Everyone, Just wanted to share some photos of my 2014 458 Italia in Canna di Fucile with Cuoio interior. I had a hard time finding good photos of this color prior to purchasing it. The color looked different in almost every photo (after shooting the car myself, I can see why) I was initially leaning towards a White, Black or Red 458 but this one kept catching my eye. Thought the exterior and interior color combo worked very well together and it had the essential options I wanted (Front axle lift, Carbon Seats, Carbon Interior/Steering Wheel). Not to mention the Ferrari dealer was not kidding when they told me the previous owner was extremely anal when it came to his cars. Aside for a little nick on the back right wheel, the car was literally in perfect condition.

    Owned the car for a little over 4 months now. I told myself this was going to stay stock when I first picked up the car. This lasted about a month and got the mod itch as the wheel gap started to bother me so a set of Novitech springs went on. With the new lower ride height, the factory wheels looked good but due to the offset, they sunk into the fenders. After getting sticker shock at how expensive Novitec spacers were, I decided to kill two birds with one stone and ordered a set of HRE R101LW instead. Overall, I'm very happy with how the car progressed and turned out.

    Now on to the pictures:

    Love CdF- had it on my 2018 488.spider and the color never ceased to amaze me. The color,surface detail and reflection would change from one moment to the next. Photos don’t do it justice as a result. Worth every penny!
    Enjoy every mile!

    Hi TeKNiC3,
    I'm the the extremely anal previous owner : ) and I love what you did, it looks awesome! If you have any questions about my time with the car please PM me and I'd be happy to answer any questions I can.

    Thank you! I'm glad I decided on this one. Also doesn't hurt that it is not going to be a common color you'll see on these cars.

    Maybe, but I normally keep my mods pretty subtle :)

    Thanks for not! LOL. Agreed, the specs and color in the end won me over. I went back and forth on this for over 2 months.

    Hey Mark! Wow, very cool! You did an amazing job on the spec! One thing that held me back a little when I first looked at the car was the lack of parking sensors and back up camera. After having the car now, I do not miss them and appreciate the cleaner look.

    James at the dealer described the car as being in perfect condition when speaking to him over the phone and said you were one of his most meticulous clients. When I saw the car in person when I picked it up, I knew he wasn't kidding.

    Lack of parking sensors and back of camera actually appealed to me, as you don't have the "zits" on the bumpers and you don't have the camera hole either. It results in a cleaner look. This car is spec'd so lovely. Especially love the Alc interior and the race seats. One of the nicest spec'd Italias I've ever seen.

    CDF>Silverstone. More depth to the color and it changes based on lighting conditions. I couldn't live without sensors and rear camera, glad it wasn't a deal breaker for you.

    Yes, totally agree. The details and thought put into the specs of this car by MarkTodd, the previous owner was spot on!

    Who knew "Gray" could be so complex but CdF pulls it off.

    I figured that this car wasn't going to be a daily driver for me so the lack of sensors and camera didn't bother me as much. The first few times backing up was a little intimidating but once I got used to it, it became a none issue. And as Eliq said, the car is much cleaner looking with the extra dots on the bumpers.

    Thanks!

    Beautiful. I think she looked stunning on the standard wheels too! How does she drive with the lowered springs?
