    What’s the best exhaust for the 360? Capristo?

    I was having trouble shifting from first to second with my gated shifter and decided to take your advise and order this bushing. My mechanic replaced the old one (that looked okay) with the new metal bushing and it fixed the problem completely. Thanks so much for your advise!

    I’ve been impressed reading all the back and forth comments; have you actually been driving the car yet/had all your initial work done?

    Mine’s an 03 Spider gated. Other than Alpine head unit, all stock. Have dealer do the major, but enjoy doing other work myself, inc the shifter bushing (not hard). One thing you might want to consider are the challenge grills, particularly the rear one-looks great and functionally cools engine compartment; best part: it’s stock and it bolts on without other modification. Enjoy the ride!

    Unfortunately the car is still in Cali! I live in rural Arkansas so I’m having everything I can have done before delivery! They should finish the sound system today then the only thing left is new front PPF. Hopefully, she can be delivered next week!!

    I feel ya brother its brutal! I have driven it some much in my head I have already need a new clutch! LOL. I have brought it on myself but I wanted to get everything possible done so once I get the car she was good to go. Being so rural I do not have anyone close to do anything on her. But its getting real now. Hopefully next week ill have a Ferrari in the garage talk about a dream come true!! What color/spec is your 360??

    You are a brave man! LOL I bet she will love it. I have been lucky to own some cool cars but I don't think I have ever been this excited/nervous to take delivery of one. I have reading and drooling over them in magazines my whole life. Dreamed of driving a gated manual. Not sure how ill react once she is pulled off the truck.
    The kid in me is giddy.

    I just ordered my new 19 inch HRE wheels a few minutes ago. I won't get them for about two months. I can't wait. They are the R101LW and will weigh about 25% less than stock. I just had my stock exhaust replaced with a new Capristo Sound 3 with a cat delete. The computers needed to be reflashed to prevent lights from coming on and to increase power. There is a noticeable difference in terms of both sound and power. Image Unavailable, Please Login

    You will love the HREs. I had some custom HREs on my last ride(Shelby Super Snake Wide Body). They were beautiful wheels. What finish are you doing on the HREs?? I bet that Capristo Sounds insane! I had the stock exhaust on my replaced with the Ferrari/Tubi sport exhaust.

    Hah! Bought mine in 2018 in Texas and had it shipped to Michigan; the wait was excruciating but ended up only being 3-4days. When the transporter came rolling down my street it was incredible. That was March and had to wait a month or so to drive it! As Pepe le Pew said-the best things in life are worth waiting for

    I went with satin silver for my wheels. They are not cheap but sometimes you get what you pay for. It does sound incredible. It is amazing.

    I am keeping all the stock items just in case, but I don't mind making improvements to make it look and perform better. I will post pictures in a couple of months when I get my wheels.

    Hey Todd....we are in the same boat, first time Ferrari owners, made a deal on an '03 and it is currently getting engine service before we take delivery in the next week or so. I love the color of yours, we nearly bought a Grigio Titanio.

    Ended up with a sweet deal on Spider F1, wanted a gated, but hard to find and pricey as you know. We feel this was a deal at $74K with the $5400 engine service. Has 25K miles.

    It is TDF Blu with tan interior, we had to have the Daytona style seats too. Needs tires, but I prefer to do that, the plan is Michelin Sport Pilots slightly wider than OEM as recommended by the guys here. What are you getting?

    A bonus is it already has an aftermarket muffler, the stock muffler is way too restrictive, but I have been unable to identify the manufacturer. Any of you experts out there know?

    Beautiful color man! And I absolutely love the tan interior( kinda wish that’s what mine had)! I went with the stock Bridgestone tires as mine already had one brand new one so I just added the other 3. Lol. Got word the sound system is done so hopefully get the PPF finished so she can ship next week!

    Also this came today.
