    My last 360 had the full Ferrari standard Mods. Challenge grills, tubi exhaust. I have already ordered my Tubi for my new 360 spider, but I am really debating on the challenge rear grill. I know it seems to be the thing to do aside from the fact it lets some heat out of the engine compartment, but for some reason, I think I am going to miss that solid back. I just wanna hear you guys opinions before I make my final decistion. Also, has anyone on here changed there intake covers to the carbon fiber ones that Tubi and Fabspeed makes? Just curious to see your opinions on this. Thanks

    The look of the Challenge grill is subjective, (although 99.9% of all owners prefer it) but its function is not. Not even a decision for me.

    The appearance is great and the heat disapation from the engine compartment is a plus I would do it.

    I like the solid panel on Blue and black cars. That being as I live in So. Florida the grill could look like crap and I'd still have one for heat reasons.

    I am very much in favor of the grill. The engine really gets hot and the two small openings on the edge of the glass of the engine cover is not enough to dissipate the extreme heat. I am in the habilt of opening the engine cover when I get back to my garage to try to save the rubber parts from all of the heat. Go for it!

    You didn't even tell us the color of your car...

    It's very good that you have your profile filled out (more on here should follow your example) but if you're asking a specific question about your car, it is also nice to include all relevant information in the post for convenience sake. Personally, I think the grill would look fabulous on your car. I don't think they look good on the blue, green and black cars.

    I agree with some members for heat disapation, specially during the hot season.

    I obviously disagree, but that being said the heat issue alone is a major plus.

    Sorry about that, I guess i was basing my question a little more basic than specific colors. Anyways, I've already ordered it, so thanks for the input guys, you all have helped my decision.
