I didn't like the look of the headlight assemblies when I first saw them. They have grown on me since. That's one sweet car.

Very nice work.
The Italia is really a beautiful car. It was nice of Ferrari to thoughtfully include a sure to be needed fire extinguisher.  Tim |

Crazy to think the level of (crappy) finish on a factory paintjob. Back when I managed a body shop....if my buffer/detailer let a car leave the shop looking like the Ferrari initially did, they wouldn't have a job.

Well, a few years ago, we charged $30 an hour for paint work (not sheetmetal work). at 25 hours, that would be a $750 detail job.
Didn't matter if we did a Ferrari, Mercedes, Porsche, or whatever....we took care of every car like it was worth a million bucks.

His Executive package is 750-1000. The Estoretic package is by estimate only... I'd bet thats what this car got... Stunning though!

I have a lot of admiration for people who are so meticulous about their craft.

This 458 was at our Cars and Coffee this past weekend.
I do not know if it had been detailed. It did not burn while in attendance.

It's an unusual car in that it actually looks better in picture than in person (usually it seems like the opposite).
It's a good looking car in person, but it looks crazy good in photos, imo. |

I think it looks crazy ugly in that picture. It's a huge step backwards, IMO.
Make mine an F430, thanks.

Different strokes I guess. I always hated the 360 and thought it couldn't get any worse..... then they brought out the 430, yuck.
I love the 458!

That is a beautiful car.
