Changing Steering Wheel on 550: I like to swap the steering wheel on my 550 to the one in 575M but the price including airbag is over $3000. Bascially, the steering is made by MOMO but the factory one has airbag while MOMO doesn't. Anyone knows a cheaper way than buying from the factory? | ||

LOL Modman... chrome wheels would certainly add some sex appeal to the car... Ernesto | ||

The wing seems to take away the smooth flow of the curvature of the car and it's missing the chrome sexy wheels, lol, I just had to throw that one in for Ernesto. For this car either black or silver would be fine. | ||

The wing just needs to be lower on the car, it looks goofy like that. Other than that I like it. | ||

I like the wheels, and the back. Not sure about the closed off side intakes, or the tacked-on spoiler though (why can't anyone offer a wing similar to ALMS type cars, with supports in the center?) F50GT had a wing like this, functional, and looked sweet. Otherwise, 360Modena makes what, 600lbs peak downforce with NO wing? It's all in the tunnel. Best! Ben. | ||

The wheels and body kit are allright, but the wing has to go! Looks like a Honda Civic (A.K.A RICE ROCKET) wing! Just my opinion! | ||

If this car was a coupe, had a different wing, and was presented to me as a factory tuned racer I'd buy (into) it and so would most, I suspect. Even Frank.  Luke. | ||

The wing is just not right (aerodynamically). The bend in a wing such as this one has is typically used to capture the different air flow off the back glass and off the sides of the car. I'm pretty sure that the spider, with the top up, does not have airflow congruent to the shape of this wing. See Race Car Aerodynamics: Joseph Katz. The front air dam will not encourage air to flow under the body and generate downforce in the rear tunnels. I wonder about the high speed stability of these mods--but what the heck--spiders aren't race cars anyway..... | ||

i think its ugly. The wing and front spoiler are really too much , and the side skirt doesnt look better than the stock car.Maybe the front spoiler on a Modena ? But def not on the spider. | ||

front spoiler is nice. like 360gt racer. like side scoops also. black wheels are excellent but need yellow horse in middle. lower rear wing would make kit very nice overall. | ||

The wing is ok I guess but it needs to be lower. | ||

Everyone is so deathly afraid of wings... I like it... yes the wing is a little much but if I had to choose between that 360 or no 360... Patrick | ||

 Heres a pic from SEMA. I think the car looks good , except for the wing. | ||

the side scoop is very F50-ish... I would have to see other angles, but I actually kind of like it, except for the wing of course. Ernesto | ||

I'm not opposed to body mods, but I think the standard 360 looks a lot better than that... | ||

I think I like it but I wish the picure was in color and showed some other angles. | ||

I can't tell if that's a spoiler, but if it is, that has to go. Otherwise, it could be worse . I like it, probably wouldn't buy it, but its not bad. | ||

Saw this on the GFG Wheels website and thought it was fun. ...but my taste is sometimes questionable  Luke. PS, no car is sacred and no car should be |
