    I'm looking for experience and opinions on carbon fiber engine panels for the F430. So for those of you who have the carbon fiber engine panels, can you please share your thoughts on quality and fitment Thanks

    Following. I have my sites on the exotic car gear ones for black Friday. Curious if this thread can change my mind.

    I’m curious too. I bought the Exotic Car Gear diffuser and am happy with it.

    I’ve heard the engine panels turn yellow from the heat.

    I recently installed RTuned engine bay panels. Fitment is good, look is good, I think they're a bit thin, but overall happy with them for the price, they generally cost less than the competition.

    I didn't like OEM screws and washers, so did something different.

    The air covers are Kline.

    Best of luck however you go.

    So i've done a little checking. i was considering SForza because they are made in europe. Actually I think in italy. their prices are $2280 plus 450 to ship. And that doesn't include tariffs.

    I forgot if you have a coupe or a spider. For the coupe, just be aware that you may need to trim the water drain pipes. Even the factory carbon ones look "custom" cut to the car. I measured using a stick the depth/length of my original panels and then cut the new ones with a Dremel so they matched perfectly and drained water correctly.

    Here is a picture of the Exotic Car Gear panels on the side and front of my coupe. This is an older picture, before I switched my Kline to Inconel. I really need to take some new pics of the engine compartment.
