    Beautiful car! Congratulations. I just got mine a few months ago. It also has a stick shift. It it so much fun to drive. I just had the stereo system updated with a complete system from Scuderia Audio (amazing components and great service). I went with a Sony RSX-GS9 head unit (superb unit). I also added carbon fiber air box covers (see picture after one is installed). Next up is new wheels; I am thinking of 19 inch HRE wheels. I am also going to replace the exhaust but not sure what brand as of yet. I appreciate the discussions so far.

    I can do some “light” mechanical stuff but I have learned sometimes it’s better to leave it to the experts! Lol! Hopefully, she doesn’t turn out to be a problem child. I have been reading all the posts to learn up on what to watch for!

    Beautiful ride! Love that color. That Sony head unit is very nice looking and a beast! I went with the new Alpine Halo9 to get the car play. Doing Focal K2 components and dual 10 JLAUDIO subs. I have HRE wheels on my current car they are beautifully made. I’m trying to tell myself I’m keeping this on mostly stock! Lol but you know how that goes! How hard were the carbon air boxes to install??

    I thought it would be so easy to install the air boxes but it was much more difficult than I thought it would be. The first one went on perfectly but the second one would not go on at all without me grinding down the rim quite a bit. I used a Dremel tool to grind down the rim and it finally fit perfectly. I also had to order larger hoses to make it fit correctly. I am looking forward to new wheels. It will look so much better.

    This is it in any EVO they just did.

    We are looking at doing the gauge pod, radio panel and center console first.

    I suggest you keep the OEM wheels unless you can get ones in 19” as light as they are. The 360 is not big on torque, so spinning up anything heavier will noticeably feel slower.

    I’m not looking to heavily modify the appearance of the car. I think it’s pretty damn beautiful as it is. The starfish wheels look appropriate to me. While I might do a little here an there I want to keep her as stock as I can. I just spent 3 years modifying a car which turned out awesome but lost my ass on! Also, I have learned my less on more power. Just got rid of a 860hp car and didn’t need anywhere close to that much speed. I guess I’m getting old or turning in to my dad! But it doesn’t take 1000 hp to make an enjoyable driving experience! Can’t wait to see my new ride in person and take her for a cool afternoon cruise with the top down.

    My dad had both a manual 360 and then an E-gear Gallardo. I much preferred the 360 for driving position, visibility, and driver connection. The exhaust sound was superior also. The manual shift was obviously more fun than the E-gear.

    You guys talked me into it. Ordered the REVERSE GEAR BUSHING from Ricambi America. Having it installed during the major. I figured it would not make much difference as the car only has 4500 miles on it but it may save a headache down the road as the miles add up. Hopefully that will get it done as I would like to get the car before Christmas.LOL

    Oh man, I was hoping for you that it wouldn't be the case but that unfortunately is not the Challenge Stradale exhaust. That's the new sport exhaust for the 360 from Ferrari that's made by Tubi but it doesn't have the same pipe routing as the original sport exhaust option for the 360 which was the CS exhaust.

    I guess I could not be that lucky! Hopefully, it still sounds good. Got to be improved over stock?!
