    I just put the same brand air box lids on my 360. They look great, came with all the parts you'll need to change out the original covers and it's real easy to do, (just don't drop any screws, it's hard to get them from under the transmission).

    Anyway, just buy them if you want that look.

    Thank you for considering to buy our product and support an Fchat sponsor. Of course we are biased so don't take our word for it and search the 360 section of the forum. You will find very positive reviews and I'm quite certain will be pleased with these parts on your car.

    Make a Christmas gift to yourself. You can order a set at www.carboniodirect.com and we have discounted shipping to Australia. Did I mention that we have a set in stock :)

    I would recommend Gruppe M. I just installed a GruppeM on my 360. You will notice a big difference on performance.

    Well, does the carbon airbox get faded as it is close to the exhaust with the heat ?

    I bought them for my 360 over a year ago from Carbonio, they fit perfectly, look awesome, and I smile every time I look at them...a GREAT upgrade to the engine bay

    Costly, but its a complete airbox replacement rather than covers.

    Yes, a complete replacement and they run twin K&N cone filters in the box, rather than panels. Not trying to insinuate which is better, just thought you might wanna know.

    Personally, I've yet to experience a real justifiable gain from a GruppeM setup. My M6 had the GruppeM and there was hardly any real gains till 6500revs...c'mon, who lives in that region all the time? Can't be blasting everywhere I drive can I? So in the end, I'd say buy the GruppeM if; 1) you can afford it, and 2) you want the best looking airbox, other than Novitec. If you want performance gains, you're better off with an exhaust setup and ecu tuning.

    That said, I'd go for Carbonia airbox for my 430 coz it's a simple swap and does the job making the engine bay look spanking fresh.

    I have had carbonio airboxes on my 360 for over a year now and they still look and work great.

    I bought Carbonio air boxes for my 360 and other than looking great, there is better throttle response. You can actually hear the air being drawn in. I think they're the best bang for the buck right now, and no they have not faded with heat. I don't have my 360 anymore and I kept the carbonio boxes incase I end up getting another 360, however, I may be leaning towards a V-12 Ferrari. That being said, if your interested, I may sell you mine. Send me a pm.

    I read through this but still couldn't tell that if the carbino fit the bigger mass airflow sensors on the CS (and different attachment method). It says it fits the stradale and challenge cars...

    We have noted the fitment to a CS to be an error on our website. It is being currently corrected.

    No fading after 5 years! I have Carbonio boxes and they have been great! I don't know how much more performance you really get, but the throttle response is much smoother.

    Thank you for the positive feedback. We try hard to use the best materials and processes possible and even source our carbon pre-preg fabric from the same manufacturer as Ferrari uses to ensure a perfect to OEM match of the weave.

    5 years is quite a while. Any chance we can entice you to consider some of our other offerings? Perhaps a compensation duct cover to compliment the airboxes or some nice diffuser fins to fill out the back end :)

    I'm definitely considering those items if I keep the car...
