Sorry no pics but that sounds perfect. Exactly how I would spec it out. Slap some novitecs on it and your golden.

Will the yellow gauges clash with the tobacco interior?

think you mean cuiou? i like silverstone and i like cuiou but i don't like them together on the 430's i've seen... but i also hate yellow/tan and lots of people like that combo too i prefer the tan shades on red, blue, black, etc. i think silverstone looks best with black, esp with the yellow tach!

is he going to get CF or aluminum for the center dash? i had alum on my silver/blk 430 but went with CF on my TDF/tan 430. i prefer the CF look but the alum was a nice match with the argento exterior and it broke up the black interior a bit.

any deviating stitching, piping or inserts? depending on his final color choices, that can look pretty cool but over the top on others.

i think ball polished challenge style wheels are available now. something to consider, haven't seen them on that color car before.

Dont get Black dashboard it will look out of place due to the doors being mostly Tobacco leather cuiou.

I do it in Cuio with red gauges.

The black dash is okay, but the door needs more black.
All brown would be too much also, but now the dash looks out of place. Maybe have black piping or daytona inserts?

I think the yellow gauge will go nicely with the shields and calipers.

Consider Bluetooth? What color will the roll bars be?

Get the black dashboard, don't listen to other people, there will be too much glare on the windshield if you dont. Also like in the picture get black carpeting!!! I like the yellow tach, and we have it with beige which is a shade lighter than couio or however you spell. I originally wanted couio but then decided it was too dark for me personally, but it's sick that's for sure. I would maybe do some black deviated stitching to tie everything together, you might want to think about black daytona inserts as well. Yellow capipers are sick with grigio silverstone too. I absolutely LOVE Carbo Ceramic Brakes and I will spec them on every ferrari we ever buy, they are so much better than PCCB it's amazing. Dedication plate is cool too if you are into that sort of thing. Don't get the batter charger ferrair sells, get one installed at your dealer. The one they sell is like 1500, and it drains the battery after about a week and a half, it's really a piece of ****. What transmission is he thinking?

bluetooth is standard now too

also carbon fiber driving package is a must, that includes: the gauge surrounds, the steering wheel, and the paddles. it's a little thing but its great once you have it. Ill try and find a pic of the 599 dash so you can see the yellow tach with beige

Ferrari is great man tell him congrats

How does he feel about red leather? It really looks sweet with this colour, and also, is it a spider or a coupe? If spider i would go with red and black combo,dash black, seats red and red "rollbar".

Let's see if anyone can get a pic of this car.

Black inserts and black double or triple thick stitching. Power daytona, hi-fi and bluetooth. Always a black dash.

Some excellent pics here.
