Was going to do it next week but after speaking with Arth went ahead today.
As background I have full black leather and red stitching in my 458 so didn't feel need to duplicate here.
Specs
Nov Production with Jan Delivery (could have ordered Oct production with Xmas delivery from Abu Dhabi but since neither dealer was offering a discount, I stuck with my local one).
Guards Red Ext
Bucket Seats (will track it occasionally)
Club sport package (not sure about this nonsense, but it is a gt3 so why not? Especially if it is free!)
Lift
Floor mats (cost 100 bucks)
Big Tank (cheap fuel here, might as well fill up)
smoking package (salesman told me to get it)
That's it, nothing more. Approx USD $140K
Now I can go back to enjoying the 458 till Jan.

Well my reason was that on my trips to Jebel Jais I felt some of the nasty bumps on the way would not easily be cleared by a gt3. I don't expect to need it for normal use in Dubai, but may be once or twice a year I may find my self finding an awkward incline or decline (perhaps construction related) that it would come handy on.
Not a fan of red belts or carbon. This is not a car I felt like decorating plus wanted to keep price low. This just a no nonsense (except the roll bars) daily beater with occasional track use and weekend Kalba mountain drives.
That makes me wonder where the 458 will fit in? I was using it for above except the daily part. Perhaps to show off on Jumeirah Beach Rd., JBR walk or Shk Zayed road? No I am not that type of person. I never do that.

I feel like I have joined the mafia lol! Yes, your input was instrumental and tracking together another encouragement. Of course in the mean time I will join you at track with my other car.

Damn! Now you tell me. I could have saved AED 10,000 on lift and had an even better stripper. My order is not locked yet

Ditch the lift. Save the money. Make it the ultimate stripper!

Ok will need to ponder and reconsider the lift issue. AED 10,000 can buy a lot of lap dances.
Just thought I would share some trivia though. The Porsche dealer in Dubai has so far sold 28 918 cars, while the ferrari dealer had sold 20 LaFerraris as of a month ago.
