The Eagle has landed my F8 is home! Videos inside!

Buddy love your car and love that you are so excited about it. I'd be too.

The wheels looks great...classic but with the black roof and other details and that these wheels are such an open design they really would look great in gloss black to match the roof.Gloss Black wheels would transform the car into a more performance style look.

This is all personal taste but for me the gloss black details of the wheels and matching roof would tie in great and show off the F8 body lines even more.

 

Me on the other hand. I get sentimentally attached to my cars. My 90 BMW 750iL is the one my kids grew up in. They remember it and even named it. Every time I open the door, its characteristic leather scent reminds me and them of those days. My GT2 is a no brainer, My first 911 and the last manual gearbox, (expected to be a collector's item for somebody, not for me). My CLS 63S daily driver has been good to me, last V8. Wife's GLE 63S, also last V8... I am not going for that V6 turbo electric assist BS, I cant. Not even for Ferrari. And I am not going electric.... So, yeah, I see myself keeping mine until they bust.

I'll be be burning dinosaurs 'til I die.

 

You will regret... Remember your 993??? I don't want to regret... Paid for, why sell? Just need a bigger garage.

 

Whenever my wife and I complete a car purchase, the dealer says that this is a special car and surely you will keep it for a long time. My wife starts chuckling and replies " he always agrees but by the following year it will be gone."

 

Here are the NF9 Novitec wheels (made by Vossen) and I think they may be gloss black. Unfortunately, I can't find them on a red car so you will have to "mindshotoshop" it .These are the nices rims, in my opinion.

They would go so well on my build, as my car will be Biaco Italia with Nero top but this will be a common color combination for white and therefore; I am taking a risk and reserving a different color, hoping that it works...

I personally wouldn’t do anything to the wheels for a few months at least. Enjoy the car, see what hits you, etc

I agree with you on that. I was thinking about doing it all at once before receiving it; paint correction, PPF, tint, Ceramic, wheels, lowering springs, exhaust, including tuning. Then figured that I would never know what it felt like before and wouldn't know the difference. After a healthy review of my thoughts and talking to you guys here, I came to the same conclusion you are suggesting. So now, upon receipt, it will be taken to my car care guy, likely in an enclosed container for paint correction, ppf, ceramic, window tint and eliminate the stupid side maker lights and a few other details.

Then will go either wheels and/or exhaust +/- tuning... Not sure yet if or when...

 

Fun thought. I’m 32, I’ve paid for 13 since age 22. I have an issue as well.

 

Nice....how did you spec the interior?

 

I went with what I have found to be a rare combination for usual Ferrari cars. I went with Nero and Terra Bruciata, some CF and Tricolore steering wheel and bridge buttons

 

When you build your car with intentions to keep it.

I do not think they are related to each other.

Just when I thought I'd seen everything, a bedazzled Ferrari FOB.

 

Grotesque.

That looks very good.

 

Never assume you have seen it all, because when you least expect it... There it is! That key fob has gotta be a few very long thousands of dollars, yens, Euros, Korean, wons, etc...

 

I assume and hope you are talking about the key fob... the hand painted PH (CR) is absolutely stunning... I almost went for it. Just couldn't justify the 16k sticker on it... I decided on the roof and additional off list options for the same amount of money,

 

I agree.

 

Looks awesome. Did they also film under the rear quarter panel in front of the rear wheel ?

 

So beautiful!!!!! I can't wait!

Even though I wanted to move away from the Ferrari tradition, one because I love white, particularly metallic whites but also because red cars call attention and even more so a Ferrari... One thing you can't take away from a Red Ferrari is just that!!!! The essence of Red in a Ferrari. They just belong!
