Yep, Matt and I will be working together on the 308/328. Other members are assisting with 348, 355, 360. My company will be offering the highest quality carbon fiber parts at very reasonable prices. I decided to enter this particular market niche because, like many of you, I'm somewhat obsessed with Ferraris. The rest of our (Ducati, BWM, Porsche) business pays the bills (fun, too) while I save much of my personal energy for Ferrari owners and their machines.
Be patient and stay tuned... |

Do any of the FCar part distributors have a discount program for FChat members? This would make sense because there are so many posts that give these guys new business! We should probably start there! Who do we contact that runs FChat (Sorry, I do not know the players that keep this great forum going) that may help with this idea? |

Doesn't one of the new sponsors do CF? You should talk to him about getting some of that stuff done if you really want it. |

those three plastic vent covers in the middle of the dashboard of a 308
they've become unobtanium and they're only plastic discs with a horsey on them |

Great! Thanks Matt!
Here is where I am coming from - I am really sick and tired of seeing many parts out there that are VERY expensive just because they are for F-cars. Sometimes the quality is not even that good.
Being an engineer in the aerospace field, I am surrounded with high quality parts - everything from switches to flight critical rotor bearings.
My thought is to find a need for particular parts, get them offered to true enthusiasts for a VERY reasonable price - I am not looking to make a living doing this, I am already too busy, but just thinking about doing something within the F-car community for fun. The parts MUST be of the HIGHEST quality, no sub-standard stuff as I am
very, very fussy myself. |

Anthony..Please send an email to [email protected]. His company is SR Exotics in Livermore,CA. He is coming out with a waterpump for 308's, etc for around $300.00. He is also building an aluminum flywheel for me that looks excellent at a fraction of Ferrari's price. He can be reached at [email protected] or call him at 925 759-6102. |

Don, depending on the F-car you have, Tubi makes carbon fiber accessories for the 360 modena! |

I am just thinking..........Are their any aftermarket items that Ferrari owners want, but currently are not available, too expensive or not of high quality?
Thanks for any input,
Anthony |
