At the Ferrari of Washington Summit Point event, a fellow named John Dice was showing off carbon fiber paddles for the 360, asking price was over $800 as I recall. His e-mail is [email protected], company name Stealth Composites Inc. I have no connection with John and have not purchased and cannot vouch for the product.

For the F360GT, there are not only carbon fiber paddles, but *longer* carbon fiber paddles. For the serious track enthusiast, I would think these are a must. I have no idea what they would cost, or if they're even available to the outside market, but if anyone's truly interested, I could ask my crew chief.

Bill,

You could have them made from aluminium - you could then have them anodized whatever colour you like!! - Now that�s scary!! You could have a green one on the right and red on the left!! :-) :-)

You could stick a spoon on either side of the steering column...

Billet.....

You scare me. It's not a Harley

HE HE!! LOL :-) Guess you got a point actually I was thinking like brushed alum etc.anythings better than the black w/ the chipped edge paint.

Possibly a set of straight pipes "side pipe stye "
LOUD PIPES SAVE LIVES :-)

I'd do the send in my paddles "but" I don't have a crappy set to drive the car.

Chris,

Do you have plans for making some Carbon Fiber Parts for the 308?

I know that a GTS top and some other parts would be a huge seller. Our older cars are prone to rust and this would help out.

I just posted a similar resopnse to those wanting 360 paddles. Yes, we (Valence USA - we're a sponsor) want to make some, and would like a donor pair to make our tooling from. The first person to send his or her paddles will get a free replacement set of carbon fiber paddles 2-3 weeks after we receive the originals. This needs to be a trade situation - to be clear, we want to keep the originals in exchange for a pair of carbon paddles. Please e-mail if you're interested. thanks
