    I got this new Ferrari front spoiler lip from Ricambi America.

    It’s hardly noticeable but it’s cool, kind of completes the spoiler.
    Don’t know what if any performance difference it makes, but I like the way
    it looks.
    Takes about 30 minutes to install. It goes up under the lip and behind the
    spoiler.
    Haven’t figured out how to post pictures yet.

    It's not the same as the SS lip.

    It is extremely different. He sent me the pics last night, but I was on my laptop at the track. This lip actually mounts about 6 inches behind the front bumper, directly to the belly-pan. It extends straight down to the earth. I would call it an "air dam" more than a lip.

    Tim -- send them again, and I'll resize and post on Fchat. Or, ferrarioldman might have them too.

    Originally, I was going to put the spoiler on my car. I hauled it up to Sport Auto where I found Tim and ferrarioldman doing some junk to my engine. Anyway, I'm missing some of the essential mounting stuff on my car, so it wouldn't have fit properly. Tim's a swell fellow, and a heck of a nice guy - so I just gave him the spoiler and the rivets and said "have fun, dude!"

    From what I can tell, there were very very few made, and almost none left anymore. It is a 1989/1990 non-US spoiler.

    Definitely not the same thing. I can hardly wait for the Valence lip to arrive. It has only been a week and I can't stand it!!!! :)

    Any chance this item is flexible, so if it hits the ground it won't shatter? If so I want one!

    We have one, and are thinking about making reproductions. Ours is NOS so the copies would be good. But, as said before, very different from SS lip. One could use both, for different reasons.

    I'm with Hadley here. Fill us in :)

    I want a CF lip, but it would last about one hour! Every driveway in this town to too steep (even when approached at 90°).

    Most of my scrapes were below view, then last week `BOOM`! What looked to be a 1/4" change from concrete to asphalt was in fact a 7" drop.

    My spoiler has more fractures than Cali now :(

    What's the price difference. The Valence cf is $650, how much for the Ricambi one?


    I am too lazy to check :D

    never mind...

    the air dam is like made out of hard plastic/rubber i think.
    it's pretty shock resilent. the color is the same as the color
    on the bumper, matches perfectly. It's formed to fit in place
    on that under panel so it goes on (no brainer) easy.
    it also has the pre-set holes for the rivits.

    the car looks better with it on than off, wonder why Ferrari
    never designed it that way.

    I went with the Hill Eng. skid pads from Ricambi. Really don't add anything cometically, but have saved my front end on several occasions!

    I don't know if you can see them on this pic, but I did post on another in the past.

    I'm surprised there hasn't been a full urethane factory spoiler replacement yet! Looks stock, except it would be about 2" closer to the ground, and unbreakable. Anyone?
