Can't keep up with you guys. Have a meeting with my FA tomorrow to discuss retirement at 50. This car stuff will kill you. I will say you guys are too hilarious and fun.

I have a set of leather matts for my Speciale from them as well. Very durable matts. I have a 2nd set on the way. Highly recommended!

You can lower the 458 on factory stuff. They are adjustable.

Partially in my case... I have the suspension lifter which limits the adjustments to about 15mm.

do you have a close up pic of your fender vs the tire by chance?? I think you need 30mm. (1.2 inches)

T-use this stuff. ALL of it. http://www.vintagedetailsupplies.com...re-page-1.html

This guy runs the Ferrari of Atlanta detail shop. he is a CRAFTSMAN. 25 yrs. doing it. He makes all of his own products and they use them on every car. The stuff is AMAZING. You know when you sometimes meet people in life who are EXCEPTIONAL at what they do...that is Kurt. Honestly, I have never seen anyone so passionate about "perfect" looking cars. You should have seen how he corrected the LaFerrari recently after it came looking imperfect from the factory. Would blow your mind. Be sure to get "Showroom Shine" also. I use it between waxes and for lots of other stuff. We call it his "miracle" product. Does everything. His wax is crazy too. So easy t apply and remove and paint on the car looks like your looking into glass. Seriously, I could not recommend his stuff any higher. Even makes his own wheel brushes which basically make cleaning wheels and calipers a breeze. Made out of same fine wool material you see on really good cleaning mitts. Trust me-I HATE cleaning cars myself but his stuff makes it worth doing.

Whew! I should get commissions-lol

Also, I would recommend CALLING him. VERY cool guy. Sort of a buddy of mine now. Number is on the "About Us" page. He will ell you everything you need to do/know about caring for that sweet red horse car.
