PMed! Thanks for the photos @Freddan ! Big thanks to Freddan for sending us his Rear Latch Cover/Steering Wheel Hub/Dome Light from his F430! We're really willing to work with the community to see what parts want/need to be produced, but we still need volunteers to send us their OEM Pieces to begin with! We should be working on some F430 Left Hand Drive OEM Style Interior Door Cards!
Also, lest we not forget a donor F430 OEM MT Steering wheel shroud for a discounted price! @becausephil has stated that the donor would get a discount. It would look great situated between the CF accented steering wheel and CF dash! Since MT's have become such serious collectibles, a donor may be hard to come by, I would be willing to pay 1/5th of the purchase of a new one if 4 other people would go in on one. Very motivated!
I will definitely order some stuff over the winter. in the middle of building a led steering wheel and big brake kit conversion right now. Image Unavailable, Please Login Sent from my SM-G996U1 using Tapatalk
for you that have a Carbon fiber steering wheel hub cover it´s not hard to move the VIN plate from OEM plastic, just use plastic tools to prevent damage it. I did a carbon plate instead. Had a small piece of carbon laying in the same pattern. cut it down to the same measurements as the vin plate, attached with double side tape. Will make a nice F430 decal or something personal i don´t know yet. Just at tip! post some pictures when it´s mounted om the car.

Testfitted the RTuned hub cover this evening. no issues with mounting - bolted right into place and all holes lined up perfect. (easy to mount - within couple of minutes) I did not removed the piece of leather from the oem cover (just double side tape) i leave that cover intact and make a new piece. really like it!!

Thank you @Freddan for all the photos! The Steering Wheel Hubs are nearing completion, and will be shipped out soon! Everybody willr eceive a tracking number once their order is shipped!
QUESTION, Would anyone know if leaving the VIN plate off is okay with the law, in the USA ? I like the idea of leaving it off !!! I CAN’T WAIT FOR MINE !!!
I would certainly keep it and if I ever sell the car, I’d give it to the buyer. I’m just wondering if driving the car without it in place would be an issue ? Thank You !!!
If you were stopped by a police officer that was familiar with the F430, and he saw the VIN plate removed, you would definitely have a problem. Your car would be impounded until a detective could locate the secondary VIN, and confirm it. Also, tampering with a vehicles VIN plate is a crime. Sent from my iPad using FerrariChat.com mobile app
Give me a break... I removable vin plate on a piece of plastic is worth nothing . pull the passagerseat forward and look at the recessed vin nr on the floor to prove the car is that car... there is not a crime to drive the car without a steering wheel hub cover. And the vin nr is o several locations. if anyone uses their Brain it this matter (both police and yourself) , they understand that a silly piece of removable plastic don't make a difference. Cars vin code, stanced in the metal is what matters and its easy to prove wherever you are. Sorry but this is just to much.
I’m going to look for the other VIN tags !!!!! 16 years and I’ve never looked for any. I’m definitely not wanting to remove and switch the tag to the new cover. I like the idea of putting some sort of Ferrari emblem on there. Maybe have my friend make something on his 3D printer !!!!! Thanks Men !!!
hehe! behind the passager seat there´s a lid in the floor mat. there you have one of the VIN nr located. the MOT want to see this once every year
Flag down the next cop you see and ask him about removing a vin plate from a car. Let me know what he says. I already know the answer. Sent from my iPhone using FerrariChat.com mobile app
