CF in driving zone is dash surround and steering wheel. Your dealer will have books and pics of all of this. Sit in some Daytona's before you buy. The standard 430 seats are really good for longer trips in the car. Bluetooth is standard. I would agree with you that color out of range and to sample are the same. I think it's just a Ferrari (Italian to English) lost in translation spec section. Piping on the seats must be added. Look at it in pictures before you order it can be an overkill with some colors. I don't think you can choose steering wheel colors. Stitching on the seats can be any color you choose. Parking sensors are options front and rear or both. Again before picking Daytonas find some first. Yes people like the option but I don't think they have sat in the new seats. I had them a few cars ago and they are in my 360 and long rides make you tired
I won't be driving around too much or going for long trips.. So would the daytonas be good for short trips?

Daytonas are good seats but my experience is my girlfriends have all liked the others. They will be fine and for some reason people always ask if your car has Daytonas? I just ordered a Spider and my dealer said most guys aren't buying the daytonas. I like the looks of the regular seats better. Just my opinion though. Either way you'll have a fantastic car....

While I have not taken a poll of "girlfriends" preferences -- I'm married -- I find Daytonas to be quite comfortable, and they look sensational, imvho. I have them in my 599 and 430 Coupe, and I ordered my 08 Spider with them.
The Daytona seat is a tried and tested classic Ferrari look, e.g. Daytona Spider. You can't go wrong ordering them, imvho!
However, it's all a matter of personal taste and it's what makes ordering a Ferrari so much fun!

So daytonas are electrically operated right? Or do I need to opt for Daytona Electric seats?
Sorry for the dumb question,but this is the first time I am buying a ferrari.. And this is India,so I don't have the option for seeing one in action or even a sample one.. I had recently pulled the trigger on the 08 build Gallardo but canceled that order as I really want the F430,a collectors car,for my collection.

Electrically Operated Seats Option = $2563
Daytona Seats Option = $2912
Are you looking for a Coupe or Spider?

I also need help in deciding the stitching and piping.. Since I'd be getting the car in a tan interior,what kinda stitching goes with it( if any) and what piping? I really need your expert opinion people,as viewing the car is not possible for me at all..

I can't help with stitching for a Tan interior car. Black will show off almost all colors of stitching or piping but Tan will only accept a couple of colors maybe. Electric seats are a must.
I would agree a lot of F'cars have daytonas and I like them in my 360 over the standard. I just fit the new f430 seats a little better I guess.

Yeah.. I think I'll just go with the tan interior and standard stitching that comes with that interior..
So if I want to get Daytona Seats,I should tell my dealer I want " Daytona Electric Seats" ? Or if I say Daytona,it means Daytona Seats that are electrically operated?

Simply tell the dealer you want to order Daytona Seats AND Electric Seats -- two separate options.

Got that... Any other options in addition to what I have planned to get,that you'd recommend?
