    Its taken me a long time to get all the pieces I wanted but the project is finished. I put in a full carbon fiber interior, carbon fiber engine bay with Gruppe M intake and polished equalizing tank. I also put in polished aluminum vent rings, aluminum dead pedal, NGT style mirrors, and F430 wheels.

    Thank you very much for the nice comments. I got the mirrors from Prestige body kits. The Gruppe M and polished tank I bought from Kevin at MVP Eurosports (board Sponsor). The guy who installed everything billed me for 10 hours total time. The mirrors look great but they have a significantly reduced field of view than the stock ones.

    The car is gorgeous, congrats!

    Are the Gruppe M intakes available with a black silicone connector? That blue seems out of place.

    Looks great! Where did you get the wheels and how much were they? What's the total cost of the interior parts?

    What would you think of a polished aluminum challenge grill?

    Looks great. Too bad Ferrari didn't make this a factory option like Porsche did on the newer 911s

    I love the CF! It gives the car a whole new look! Also breaths new life into a car that you may have been thinking on trading in on a new one! AWSOME!

    The standard Gruppe M kit comes with the blue tubing. I agree I think red or black would work better but I did'nt inquire about a custom order. I bought the wheels from Foreign Cars Italia. Wheels plus Michelins were $6200.00 delivered to my door. From placement of order to delivery, including mounting and balancing was only six days. I've thought a little bit about a carbon fiber challenge grill in the rear but I need to see one in person to get a feel for how it looks. The car already had the carbon fiber race seats when I bought it.

    Looks great. What effect does the Gruppe M kit have on performance?

    To be perfectly honest I did the Gruppe M for appearance purposes. However, they do have dyno results showing an increase of 8 HP. The airbox is larger, has K&N filters and a heat shield. The combination of cooler intake air and higher flow is what accounts for the modest HP increase. On another thread it has been suggested that you may get a better real world increase because the dyno is static and the Gruppe M also has a ram air effect when the car is actually driven. It does have a little better sound, I can't honestly say that I note any difference in performance.

    I've got the same interior on my car (black with red stitching and sport seats) but mine is a 6 speed. I love the look of yours. If you don't mind me asking, how much were the door pieces, the radio surround and the surround for the gauges? I would love to get those pieces for my car.

    I bought them from MA Carbon another one of the board sponsors. The prices are on their web site, I bought the set for around $3600.00. They were great people to deal with and I highly recommend them.

    Mike was a great customer to deal with and we were glad to help with the project.

    We just added the wheel section to the web site (referenced in the previous post) a few days ago to show what we have in stock and what's possible. We're still going through our photos to pull out decent shots of the various custom ones we've done.

    You can also see there's a nice set of CS shift paddles in there too!
