    No one is going to complain about the sound of the F8 once you put a better exhaust like the Inconel Kline and have the valve control if that is the only thing that the 458 has better.

    The 458 even aged wonderfully it look old now especially the front. For what its worth look at the Speciale with what IMO has a better front doesn't look as aged. I go as say the front looks of Today.

    The Star rims are the upgraded forged rims.

    Yours are the base cast 488 rims.

    Mine gets raves just like when she was new 8 years ago.

    I have only seen a 488 in person on the highway going the opposite direction. Never have seen an F8. The front may be a little too busy for my tastes but l would probably love it after living with it for awhile. Perhaps my dealer will save me a 3.5 hour drive each way by bringing an F8 for me to test drive. Not holding my breath. ;)

    I saw a white/black roof F8 at Cauley. Truly stunning combo. Great choice. Enjoy!!

    Is yours paint or a wrap?

    The 458 may only look dated to Ferrari owners! Esp as we tend to see it in the wild much more often! Still a gorgeous car.....!!!

    That’s funny because I was looking at my spec and didn’t see a charge for upgraded rims. So the standard rims to me look way better then the star rims.

    I would be interested in any thoughts you have about wrap vs paint in terms of visual differences. I am planning to order a rosso corsa F8 coupe from Cauley.

    I personally like the painted option better. It's expensive but worth it to me.

    Agree with you there. More symmetric and clean design. The stars would take some getting used to for me.
