Great build but IMO the red seat belts and stitching are out of place with a Luxor beige interior unless you order a Guards red Exterior.

Please post pics when u get it! I'm thinking of ordering Guards Red/Luxor. I'm considering red deviated stitching plus red dials (available late fall). I want to see your interior with the red stitching!!!

I have seen red stitching on beige leather in several Ferraris and it looks great. Subtle but adds a little pop to the interior...not OTT in any way.

In addition, I am taking off all the wording on the back of the car and replacing it with old school Carrera S. See attached.

Lovely spec. The PSE is becoming an essential experience enhancer!
Your build completion is 1 week prior to mine. Our cars may end up on the same boat.
I know what you feel about the wait but they do say its part of the experience. I'm convinced its only said by those who have already got theirs!

Sounds like a great build. My boat is docking in Davisville today, so I'm hoping to have my car next week. I can't imagine waiting until October.

STOP mentioning October!!!!!!! I keep trying to forget! DBYT and I are sort of in the same boat so I'm sure he too agrees.


Enjoy your new ride

You should've just mask-taped Carrera and paint "S" so that it's easier to badge. Anyways, cool!

Agree it looks excellent on a "red" Ferrari.....but with a blue exterior I'm not so sure.
