Finalized the Spec on my 458 today. I was holding off as long as possible, hoping I could see some more 458 variations. But all I could see were Giallo w/Nero, Rosso w/Nero and Bianco Avus w/Bianoc&Nero. Here is the final (I think) config.

Rosso Corsa Red
Giallo Modena Calipers
Shields
Lift System
Adaptive Headlights
Sport Sills
Sport Wheels in Dk Gray (Pain in the butt to order these)
Front and Rear Parking Sensors
Cuoio Interior
Nero Contrasting Stitching
Black Carpets
Black Center Console
Nav/Bluetooth
CF Drivers Zone
Self Dimming Mirrors
Recaro Full Electric Seats, Std Design
Giallo Modena Tach

I originally had an all black interior with Silver Stitching, but after seeing one in person, it was just to much black for me. Order should move to Status 20 before the end of the month. Feb/Mar delivery.

Edits:
Made some interior changes. I wanted something a bit non standard.

Changed to:
Two Tone Leather Alcantara Interior Cuoio with Nero Alcantara
Nero Contrasting Stitching
Nero Headliner
Leather Interior Upholstery, Cuoio (A-pillars and Roof)
Will also wrap the roof in Black Vinyl. I'm not paying $16k for a bi-color option

 

Congrats! Now the wait.....

 

Congrats BBTurbo. GT2 rs AND 458 around the sametime. You must be wicked excited. Which are you more excited for?

 

Congrats, only thing I would reconsider is black stitching against cuio. White would look great imo.

 

^^I think the contrasted stitching will tie into the other black elements of the interior nicely.

Congrats BB! Can't wait to see pics of your new gems post-delivery.

 

I'm actually cooling off quite a bit on the GT2RS. I got to see to see at least one of each color when I visited the Porsche Factory in Stuttgart last month. I'm not crazy about the CF Hood and side scoops. It's an incredible car, but in the end it's still a GT3RS with a pumped up turbo and a numbered ID plate. The Turbo S is faster 0-60mph and the GT3 has alot more soul. I also already had my 600hp fix with my ZR1. Overall, I'm not sure the GT2RS is worth $275K. Think of what else you can buy for that amount of money. I may just stick with my GT3RS and add a couple of wish list cars, like a 996 GT2 (every Porsche guy has to own the Widowmaker at some point). I'm also lusting after a Ford GT.

 

The black interior I looked at had Silver stitching. It was way to distracting on the black dash. White also doesn't stay white. It would be impossible to clean over time.

 

Here it is with white stitching and with the black as you specced.

Romantically, white is right. But in this case, black is best.




And Black



Man, the Ferrari configurator is x1000 better than Porsche.

 

Stunning spec BTW. I'd make it a bit more hardcore, but otherwise, incredible. Congrats.

 

Giallo calipers and rosso? Looks shit, don't do it.
