    I already read other threads that performance or downforce wise their pretty much the same. Aesthetics or looks is what I'm trying to research... Thanks!

    I think we need a poll in order to vote. I don't see a poll

    I'd go with the fins only, if I had to choose.
    I wanted a set, but NOT carbon fiber to match the stock under tray, but nobody made those (less cost too).

    I think the other style would be prone to breaking since the fins look like they hang so low.


    Ultimately, I decided I liked the stock look of the 360.

    Yeah, I want to keep it plain black too. Not carbon fiber.

    I'd like to see what you are referring to. User's theory, or real testing? The fins look to clean the air up, but the cs diffuser looks like an underbody wing...

    I put the carbon fiber ones on my 360 and they look friggin' awesome. I have so many compliments on them and everyone loves the look. The 360 rear diffuser always seemed to be mssing something. The carbon fiber fins truly complete the look. The CS bolt on fins cheapen the look of the 360 and looks like you got the fins from Autozone IMHO.

    Its from fchat so it is a mixed bag of expert and user opinion. Hence Im taking it with a grain of salt and all Im looking for is the aesthetics.

    Do you have any knowledge that one is better than the other performance-wise? Maybe a technical article or something? I prefer performance - wise if there's a substantial differnce. Otherwise looks is all it comes down to. Thanks.

    Yeah the stradale style diffusers seems a bit hard to swallow first but through time it grows on me and I look at it as "ferrari designers won't put some crappy the design on the premiuk models".

    But I'm still on the fence between the two.

    No, I don't have any technical knowledge, that is why I was asking to see what you were referring to. I had looked through some aerodynamic papers to understand that they could be doing different things... (If I remember correctly) One cleaning up their flow and speeding up the air to reduce pressure, but the cs model actually looking to me like doing that, but also serving as an underbody wing producing some additional downforce. It peaked my curiousity not for making a huge difference on a 360, but more technically... And there isn't a great inexpensive way to actually test results....

    Personally like the fins. That is the direction I am going.

    I like the fins as it looks like it belongs, the 2 piece looks a little more after market to me

    Same impression I got before. I wonder why the designers did it this way when it's obvious that fina look better.

    good question, probably aerodynamics. Some interesting thoughts from an old thread:

    Fins look great, where can I get my hands on the plans?

    Also F1Spider, tell me about the third brake light (my guess) in the keystone shape OEM grill?

    yes the 2 piece CS diffuser is a tad of a "Heath Robinson" affair i.e not as good as the carbon fins, the SCUD diffuser is really top notch
