sounds like it'll come out pretty damn slick. i don't think i've seen one in white yet. congrats on the earlier build, too!

It looks like you have the important options spec'd. I had a nero daytona F430 and the non-metallic standard black was more popular at resale, I was told by my dealer. I would suggest you consider black with tan interior or pearl yellow/metallic yellow with black interior with deviated yellow stitching. Promo photos of the 458 in yellow looked stunning. I would also suggest you look at Daytona seats as an option - it is timeless classic with Ferraris (both Ferraris I owned had Daytona seats).

Good luck - this is exciting stuff!
