    Before purchasing this stuff from the MyRicambi guys I really didn't see much mention of the panels on the forums other than some had purchased from them.

    I wanted to provide some feedback (positive) about my experience with them (no affiliation).

    I purchased their engine bay panels and the fit and finish was OEM like as described. The install took about 20 minutes from start to finish with simple hand tools. They have about 500 miles on them now with no issues anywhere. Very pleased with the purchase.

    Here is what she looks like now:

    We can play top trumps, I have fitted even more Carbon in my engine bay. It is a mixture of OEM and Capristo. Plus I had the Fuel Pump covers hydrodipped in 3K carbon weave, clear coated and Ceramic coated. I have a spare set Fuel Pump covers I can get hydrodipped if anyone is interested.
    I have fitted Ricambi carbon pieces to the interior, I will write this up separately.

    As I replied to another associate thread,I went to MyRicambi facility and picked-up /nstalled all the aforementioned pieces the same day. The water tank top is on back order. I agree they appear to be quality pieces. I did not go with the air boxes as I believe that is a Capristo piece. Are the air box ones just a top cover or can it replace the existing units??

    I got the Capristo airbox, lock over and water tank cover, they all fit together as a set. The Capristo airbox is a cover, I chose this option as I liked the way it ends covering the hose clips. Capristo quality is also excellent.

    Engine bay options are now maxed out.

    My son and I installed MyRicambi engine bay parts last night. I agree the fit and finish are great, and their customer service is top-knotch
