    Hello 296 Fellow Enthusiasts & Owners!

    As you might already know we of Sforza.tech are always catching up with the latest Ferrari road models to satisfy our Customers demand of carbon fiber parts and today i want to share with you F-Chat Members the exclusive preview of our development project involving both 296 GTB & GTS models.

    So make sure to watch this thread if you want to be keep posted as i will periodically update with pictures and unveil new components regarding this new project...

    As we have already done for all the other Ferrari latest models: 458 Speciale F12, 488 Pista, 812 Superfast /GTS , F8 and more the cf rocker panels side skirts (under doors) are a must-have option for us so these are coming for 296 and are now in production!
    Here first pictures of the successfull test fitment of the raw cf rockers on car. ( will fit both GTB & GTS)

    (PS. cf not lacquered yet with gloss clear coat)

    But that's only the beginning...

    by looking at the smooth curves of the GTB our eye got caught by the roof and the new aero bridge on the rear designed by Ferrari to "accelerate air flows to generate downforce" and we embraced the idea to make it in carbon fiber for the joy of our Customers who love cf details!

    This cf aero bridge is now in production as well! ( will fit GTB only, GTS one will follow in 2024)

    (PS. cf not lacquered yet with gloss clear coat)

    And, last but not least...

    As you might already know, the "Assetto Fiorano" package has some special features such as the livery, racing-derivered suspension and some more cf options available such as the front aero winglets designed by Ferrari to "give an extra +10kg @250km/h downforce in the front".
    And yes we have these in development at an advanced stage as well!

    (pic. for reference OEM cf winglet)

    These "Fiorano" cf aero winglets can also be installed on the standard GTB /GTS front bumper not equipped with the Fiorano package from factory as replacement of the standard ones.

    Many other cf parts such as the outer mirror triangle trims, front air vent surrounds and more are in development through our Sforza factory unit and i will share further details and pics in the upcoming weeks.

    For those of you who do not know our Company yet, we are an Italian based Company specialized in carbon fiber parts development and production with 30+ years experience in OEM supplies in the composites manufacture industry.
    Our Ferrari cf parts range include models starting from F430 & 430 Scuderia to the latest models.

    For more info and pricing you can DM me and i will be happy to assist you.

    Un caro Saluto dall' Italia!:)

    Hi Nicola. I have a 296 and I want the two front parts in the bumper like there are in the Assato Fiorano. But I need it in black and not in carbon fiber since I painted all the side skirts + the rear diffuser in shiny black like the roof. Is it possible to get the part in black even without color?

    Thanks Tsachi

    Who did the ‘shiny black’ for you. I wanted to do the same but am afraid the ‘grain’ of the original material will show through . Can you share some pics , close ups if possible . Thanks

    My dealer took them apart and I took the parts to a car paint shop who painted the parts for me the same shade of color as the roof. My car goes through a lot of changes, including a Novitec exhaust system, and I make stickers for the car like the Asto Fiorano model. I will send pictures when the car is ready.
    In any case, I coat the parts I painted with ppf

    Hello Tsachi,
    We can supply the front winglets "Assetto Fiorano" painted black gloss (shiny) or primered if you would prefer to have these painted by your trusted body shop.
    The material of the parts is carbon fiber so the price for black gloss/primered is the same as the exposed carbon gloss version.
    We do not make these parts in plastic or any other material.

    some new updates...
    The cf front splitters "Fiorano" pack are completed and first sets for Customers are in production and available to order.
    Here you find few pics. of the first set finished gloss and installed on the yellow 296 donor car used for test fitment.
    For more info about pricing and lead time you can PM me.

    To install these "Fiorano " front splitters, professional install operations by a Ferrari body shop and qualified technicians are required, as it will be needed to drill two additional holes for the bolts on each side of the bumper on both GTB & GTS models not equipped with Fiorano pack from factory. (Ferrari OEM spec., see images below)

    I am the 2nd one to buy and fit to my 296 and they are spectacular!
    Further, Nicolo and the support he gave was first class.

    The install is very straightforward.

    The sills and front SF splitters are installed. They fit perfect and look OEM. The OE plastic parts really don't belong on a Ferrari. Will post pics...

    Great. Was the template and drilling “stress free”? How much of a total job is it?
    Thanks

    The Sforza carbon side skirts were so good that I just ordered the door sills. (The OEM ones from Ferrari are 3k!!!) These are a bargain and assume no one would be able to tell the difference. Will update and post pictures when they arrive.

    Just ordered a set of the kickplate door sills to compete the car. The side skirts from sforza were perfect and look the same as OEM. Only thing I’m missing are these and can’t wait for them to arrive. Will post photos when they do.

    Will some of these items be available with plenty of time to install before SEMA here in the States? Trying to line out some cosmetic items before putting it in the booth.
