    We sell the Tubi part as well but I just talked with them yesterday about this part and they said that they will have them in November or later. I can have the Elite Carbon version in two weeks. Let me know if you are interested.

    Absolutely. I will post some images as soon as I get them in. I will be getting the rear window vents at the same time as well. You will be able to get the parts in the traditional 2x2 weave or a more wild 2x4 weave. To see close ups of their airboxes you can go to www.EliteCarbonFiber.com. Thanks.

    Hi Jason... just received my carbon engine vents/louvers today so thanks for that. If you do have a pick of the front carbon splitter I would like to see it as I mentioned to you earlier I would want one of those

    Thanks

    The F430 Scuderia at Frankfurt had the front spolier in CF and both the F430 and the F430 Scuderia had the new Ferrari CF engine vents, FYI.

    Here is the Elite Carbon front spoiler.

    Elite Carbon now offers the F430 Carbon Front Bumper Spoiler! This part is simply amazing! If this is something that you like you can order it here http://www.prostores.exotica-motorsports.com/stores/cart.php?target=product&product_id=1014&category_id=138 We have done extensive work to get the correct weave of Ferrari carbon fiber to produce these parts. This part is currently available and we are filling or pre-orders right now. This part will be available for new orders after the first of the year. They will also have rear diffusers, rear window vents, airbox lids and paddles. These pictures will be sent to you as the parts are ready in the next few days to weeks.

    Here is a little bit about why Elite Carbon is far superior to what is currently available on the market;

    The manufacturer of this carbon produced the mold, digitized the part into a CAD program and then sends it to a cutting machine. The carbon fiber roll is rolled out onto a cutting table and a cutting machine cuts the carbon out to a .001 tolerance every time. This produces a near perfect cut every time, much better than hand cutting which is more common. The carbon is laid into the mold by the numbered cut pieces to make sure that ever part is just like the last one. The part is then put into an autoclave to produce a perfect, very strong and durable part. The part is then removed and clear coated. This is light-years ahead of the competition.

    I hate it when I ask embarrassing questions, but here goes: does this front spoiler just replace the small component that 'bridges' the two air intakes together (when looking at the front of the F430)? Also, it looks like a pretty easy unbolt/bolt-on replace; is that true?
    Thanks

    That is all it takes. It is about a 10 minute job. All the parts we are getting in like the rear diffuser, rear window vents, airbox lids, shifter paddles and this spoiler are all fairly easy to replace. The diffuser is a little tricky because of the size. Other than that you shouldn't need to pay a dealer to install it. Local customers can have us install them for free.

    Here are some pictures of the Elite Carbon parts. The top and side front bumper spoiler was from Elite and the one with the white strip was a Tubi part that the dealer had on hand. No comparison here. You can't see the fit and finish comparison in the pics but you can see the quality difference in the clear coat with the way the light bounces off the two pieces. The Elite product looked like it had many more coats of clear than what the normal standard Tubi part does. The Tubi parts, from what I am told, have the carbon laid in a 45 degree angle and Elites is at 90 degrees like the factory. This almosts makes the Tubi part look like it has stripes or streaks in it.

    Don't wait for other suppliers, purchase the Elite products today.

    Current inventory;

    Rear window vents coupe $2999
    Front bumper spoiler $1799

    Parts incoming;
    Rear diffuser $5299
    Rear diffuser fins $1499
    Airbox lids $1999

    If the parts are not in stock wait time is approx 3 weeks.

    Does the front spolier fit a Scuderia?

    I don't believe they are the same. If someone wants one for a Scuderia, we will give them a discount on one if we use their factory part for a mold since the Scuderia parts are impossible to get right now. PM me for more info.

    It is very easy. There is four bolts under the spoiler and that is it. 5 minute job!
