    I've got to send my F430 up to Scottsdale to be serviced (had all sorts of warning lights come on today including the no-CST, brake light, and driving mode switch malfunction...service guy says he's never seen all of those at once). Anyway, while it's away being serviced, I'm thinking about putting a challenge grill on. Does anyone have any pics of a titanium F430 Coupe with a Challenge Grill?

    Seems like a great time to do the mods.

    I think so. I'm going to have them fix up some "cosmetic" issues too (windshield rock chips, front air scoop rock chips, and a nasty rock chunk in the front bumper...the rock scratched through the clear bra, clear coat, paint, and took a small bite, maybe 2-3mm, out of the bumper). I might have them put some new rims on too...just haven't seen anything that wows me just yet.

    Must have been one heck of a sharp rock to get thru all those layers! Good luck with the touch-up.

    Better get your checkbook out. I heard the 430 grilles are very costly.

    While not inexpensive, it doesn't appear that it will be the $12K that some folks have said it runs. MVP Eurosports sells the rear bumper for $3,200 and the rear grill for $1,950. Both are MSRP so those should be the price the dealer charges too. Of course, add painting and installation to it and I imagine we're talking $7-8K. That's why I'd like to see a few pictures of it on Titanium before I pull the trigger.

    If you check back to my 430 Silverstone with Challenge Grill you will get a good idea. Nicely contrasts and at the same time "flows" with rear, give the illusion of a wider and therefore more agressive rear - If you cannot find or no one has a picture, I will dig up the pictures(s) for you. Best

    Don't have photos, but I've seen Titanium and challenge grill. It looks fabulous -- you won't regret it.

    It looks GREAT with your Silverstone! The Ti is so much lighter than the Silverstone though...I think it'll look good though.

    Thanks for the feedback...I'm starting to get comfortable with the idea since so many folks have said it looks good. I'd still like to see a pic or two with Ti if anyone has them.
