All the body work should be body colored from the factory, as standard equipment.
The black nancelles, as well as the black side scoops, looks absolutely terrible and ruin the car.
First thing I'm forced to do is remove and paint the side scoops when my car is delivered.
Shaking my head.
Ferrari started the black roof / nacelles trend, the take rate is high because the "look" aligns more with the European exotics.....this isn't a bad thing
I have to disagree.
All the convertibles that Ferrari has had at their unveilings and auto shows have had all body colored tops and nacelles.

Let's face it, the C8 looks great in so many combinations, including blacked out top & nacelles.
The down side with blacked out a-pillar, roof & nacelles is you seem to lose a lot of the gorgeous C8 body shape.
Next week my sebring orange is going to get something that looks similar to the picture below.
I'm connecting the windshield to the engine glass with carbon flash black vinyl, keeping the a pillar and above door connected to back in orange.
That way I get to keep that amazin side view I like so much........ We'll see how it turns out.
To each his own, what I like most is the variety of combinations to add a little customization to our C8s

This may actually be the first C8 I like the look of
Same here, HTC with black A-pillars, roof, and nacelles and paired with black wheels is the only C8 configuration I almost like. It looks good in most colors. The one below is my favorite, and my wife is very interested in this. Depending upon what Red Mist looks like, she might go that direction. Her current car is a Soul Red MX-5, but we'll probably keep that one forever as a classic.
Hey Rapid. I don’t know what was required I had it lowered and alignment done before it was delivered. I asked how the adjustments went and they said only thing tricky was lowering the rear( had to remove control arms I think they said)

I've seen that photo before in another thread!
It's the same car as in Post #9 of this thread, but I like that photo better.

Not sure what auto shows you've been to but Ferrari and McClaren have had this look for some time. I love that GM has made this a color choice. It looks great with black rims.
Damn, why did they discontinue BS? The AR interior rocks with BS.
...and it is one of the very few colors that look so good with the base silver painted wheels, if I my C8 were BS, I would probably NOT buy aftermarket rims....

I didn't even notice you altered the color!
