    This is merely a rough vision and is subject to change. No guarantees. But this is what I've been envisioning for the tail end of the 456. Side skirts/rocker panels and front bumper will be shown soon.

    Thanks to Andrew for donating the original photo.

    Here are the rocker panels.

    The edges next to the wheels don't curl in like the OEM panels, rather, they drop straight down like on a Stradale. It doesn't pull up on each side to a middle line, but rather, the front follows up on a straight angle to create visual parallels to the main crease atop the door, and meets with the rising curve from the rear of the panel.

    Just so people don't worry, this is just to show the rocker panels - the front and rear bumpers on this do not line up the same way the Ryalex ones will.

    As people have been inquiring already, I don't have a price set on these items. That will be determined when the prototypes are finished and costs are finalized.

    Nice work, my biggest complaint about the 456 has always been the way the taillights are combined. The small change shown in your picture makes the back end, IMO, look 10 times better!

    In my opinion, the TR rear window was really nice and SUBTLE, the 430 bumper rework looks like good work in progress, but this is over the top. I believe that all a 456 can possibly need is larger rims.

    This one has probably the most bold changes of the things I've presented so far.

    One thing I forgot to mention though is that any of the CF parts can be ordered 'primed ready to paint' to match the body color and not be clearcoated carbon fiber. I think that would tone this down a lot. Maybe next week I'll post what that would look like.

    Ryan-

    This looks exceptional. Especially the rear mods. Figure out pricing yet?

    Thanks for the compliment Nick. To be honest, this set (aside from the light covers, which are ready for order) was put on the backburner as this massive 550 project gets sorted out - and the donor car is going to start the teardown very soon.

    I should be able to get a price on it though. I'll get back to you after the weekend.
