No surprise to me, 458’s are simply epic and IMHO, they are one of the best models Ferrari ever produced.

Cheers!

Hello Sargepug,

I purchased my 2015 458 Italia in late December, 2019 as a retirement gift to myself. Lucky for me, it was just about at the bottom of the price drop (from new) before the large appreciation in price started.

I drove it back home on an epic 18.5 hour long trip, stopping only for petrol. It was my first time driving a Ferrari and it was simply glorious!

Cheers!

My 458 had 8,600 on the clock and I was excited to get some extras with it including Ferrari Collection Oz Racing rims, Ferrari Titanium lug bolts and PPF on the full front and all leading edges to the rear.

Other than petrol and insurance , the only cost to me was a Ferrari Collection accessory on the doors that replaces the standard light that projects on the floor with “458 Italia” when the door is opened that the dealership installed. It came with three years of the annual maintenance left and two years of the Power Warranty.

It’s been solid as a rock and has bested the maintenance needs on my beloved SonderKlasse cars! It’s simply amazing and I’m so blessed to have it in my stable. Two years later, I still get a rush when I walk into the car park and see it…

Cheers!

That is a Ferrari Collection option, cost was about $750 give or take including installation. It requires removal of the existing light lenses under each door.

These are replaced with the precision lenses you choose. IIRC, there were two options for the Italia, one was “458 Italia” and the other was a Prancing Horse.

There may be other options for a Spider, as they are model specific. The Ferrari Collection catalogue is available at any Ferrari dealer and it contains other Ferrari approved options for each model of car.

My Oz Racing rims and the Titanium lug bolts are out of the FC catalogue as well. Lots of goodies in that catalogue! Photo below was taken on carpet, so the line definition is quite poor. On smooth concrete, it’s much better.

Take care and best wishes to you and yours!

Cheers!

Awesome! Love it!!!

My 458 is mostly stock, save the Ferrari Collection add-ons… The exhaust is original stock as well. I’ve thought about upgrading it, but the dealer told me it would violate the warranty.

As a result, I’ve kept it as purchased except for the “458 Italia” door light changeout. The original buyer had a lot of options in his spec, so I’m pleased with the existing spec.

Congratulations! I could not have described it any better for my 458… There is something magical about 458’s…
