    Is this option really worth having? Is it worth the money? Does it make the car look better or worse? What are the pro's and con's? Opinions Please.....

    I have had both and currently have the challenge grill on.

    I have been told by many that it looks good on the car but it does do something really good in my opinion. It lets out all the heat through the grill especially on those super hot days.

    As I still have my panel as well I can put that on whenever I feel like a change then stick the challenge grill back on but based on all the great feedback the Challenge grill will stay on.

    Hope this helps.

    It's a must have! looks much better, and helps the engine breathe better (get some of that heat out!)

    If you look there are dozens of threads here about pros & cons but one new aspect is that Prosport Ferrari in the UK have developed a cheaper after-market unit

    Yes, yes and much better!
    After I installed my challenge grill, I could feel the heat escaping through the back grill after I turn my engine off. Even though the engine lid is vented, it sure doesn't hurt to further vent the engine compartment.

    CH grill is the tits! makes the 355 rear look like perfection. everytime i see a 355 with the stock grill, i just think how much better it would look with the CH grill haha.

    Race inspired Ferrari products are a must have. The heat extraction is important as well as the good looks.

    I think it is colour sensitive - on my silver car I prefer the stock look, but would like to have a challenge grill for cooling. Was thinking that maybe a body coloured challenge grill could look good
