My 488 is inbound!

and I couldn't be more excited to get it. White on white, yellow calipers and shields, carbon fiber Daytona racing seats, etc. First order of business will be ECU tuning and exhaust, then wheels (which I plan to order this week), and finally suspension. The shop I use (that will be tuning it and making the exhaust) are working on a collaboration with JRZ to come up with a lowering spring kit that retains the front lift. I had JRZ's on my Gallardo and they were fantastic, I'm expecting the same from them on my 488.

 

Below are a few of the pictures my dealer sent me. It's supposedly on the boat now, so it shouldn't be much longer. I will update this thread as I get updates.

thank you all for the kind words.

 

Beautiful car, great color. Do you mind if I ask what you paid for it? I'm trying to get an idea of pricing, MSRP?

 

honestly, I didn't ask. I just spec'd it the way I wanted it and gave them the deposit :lol2:

 

the details are:

Daytona race seats

all white interior was an additional $6500 or so I think

carbon fiber wheel

back up camera

front lift

telemetry system

yellow fender shields

yellow calipers

 

I requested the build sheet from my dealer, when they send it over I will post it for you to look over.

 

Fantastic congratulations. Not sure about the blue mirrors and side skirts though :/ lol

 

that's just plastic covers

gorgeous build! are you planning to modify it? I've heard the factory exhaust is dreadful.

Thanks, no plans to mod right now the factory exhaust in Race mode is actually pretty loud.
