    So far I have only done the interior pieces, I have challenge front and rear grills from the factory, but I am doing the airboxes.

    Contact Chris at Valence, I'm sure he can do it.

    These are TubiStyle CF parts (I've never seen them installed in a car except for these pictures) They look to be a little less gloosy than Valence's. i hope to install them on my car and will show it to local socal 360 owners.

    Looks great... especially with the tan interior... way better than aluminum with that.

    Did you weigh the parts you put on and the parts you took off? I'm curious the weight differences.

    They are not overlays. They are replacement parts. They are wonderfully crafted and very expensive. It is too bad that the factory does not offer them as an option! Would have saved me a lot of work!

    There is a big weight difference, I would say less that half the weight of the stock pieces. It seems strange to me that Ferrari does not offer Carbon Fiber as an option, they do on the Maserati.

    In regards to the shine, I took those pictures in Algars bay, poor lighting and not the best camera.

    The original center console was SO heavy when I took it out, I was actually surprised Ferrari would even put it in the car. There are LOTS of places on the 360 that are way overbuilt. It would be nice some time to see how much weight could be trimmed off of one by replacing, removing or trimming/drilling the existing parts.

    If weight was really that big of an issue to me, I would not be in a spider, but none the less, it would be great to have a 360 that came in at 2600 pounds!

    Chris produces perfect stuff - I had several parts made - quality is above Tubi Style Carbon and way above the Stradale Carbon - the shine comes from the flash

    look at one of the pieces from Valence I have!

    Shine is one thing but I'd be interested to know if the stuff that Valance produces is actually any lighter than the stuff the stradale has inside.

    Indeed... but not just if its lighter, but exactly how much lighter (measured in lbs or kg, not in "my right arm says"). If I can save 50lbs with some trim changes, I'll be all over it like... well, you know. ;)

    Absolutely. the precise difference is very important. Although I would be surprised that the difference is any more than 15-20lbs. Furthermore if this is the case it'll be very important to know at what cost and therefore be able to calculate $/£ per lbs to check out value.
