    I have a felling mine isn't original, but I have no way of really knowing.
    I do know the area near the tail lights I saw several small cracks in the grill in a few spots.


    If any one knows of this happening or has similar cracks I'm interested to know so I can try to figure mine out.
    I would like to imagine the factory part wouldn't have cracks but I wouldn't be surprised.


    Thanks Johnny

    Based on most things Ferrari, if yours is aftermarket it will be much better quality, will look better, and last longer.

    This is an exception where the Ferrari branded challenge grill actually has a better curvature and profile. It looks nicer and closely matches the original painted tail than some non-Ferrari grill.
