Speciale modifications thread

Not sure if this will be useful or not but I thought id give it a try. My thought is to have this thread as more of a resource where owners can post what mods they have done to their Speciale's. Maybe a short review of the results and links to products and vendors.

So any owners that have done any mods... please post!

 

Here is my first mod.

Ferrari 458 Speciale Valvetronic Exhaust System - Fi-Exhaust

Went with a manifold back system. Its being installed now and I will pick it up Tuesday.

In addition the car is being race prepped. This will include suspension height adjustment and corner balancing.

I spoke to Lance at GT concepts who installed the fog light. He said they programmed it to blink 3 times each time the brake pedal is pressed.

He said he would possibly build a complete kit enough people are interested.

His email is [email protected].

 

Visited my car at Protective car Solutions in Santa Ana Protective Film Solutions

Top notch work! I couldn't recommend them enough. This is the first time I have done the ClearPlex windshield treatment Invisible Windshield Protection Films and Screen Protectors - ClearPlex. Sitting in the car, if you look for a distortion you can see it but I would say its very clear and hardly noticeable. After ruining the windshield in my last Italia at the track, this is a no brainer. The installed cost was $550.00.

The second procedure was adding the Xpel protective film. I did the entire front of the car including the intake vents and lower active aero bits. We also did the rocker panels and small flaps. I was told if I get any small dings or scratches at the track, I just pour very hot water on the area and it will heal itself. This ran $2,200.00 for the front and $500.00 for rockers.


Also it was the first time I saw the car after it left the race shop. They said they lowered it roughly 20mm, Again this was done for a track setup and not lowered really low like some cars for just asthetics. I couldn't wait to hear the new exhaust so we fired it up and holy s**t it sounds insane! I can't wait to get it home and give it a proper road test!!!
