    ^^ I disagree. Would be too much CF in my opinion making it look like a puzzle.

    Looks great on that colour. :)

    clarification - the diffusers as shown in this post are not cracked - it is the housing around the fog lights - is there CF replacement for this?

    Originally I was going to go with Capristo, but could not refuse the package deal Exotic Car Gear gave me for the front wings, fog surrounds and rear diffuser. All three for significantly less than the msrp of the Capristo diffuser itself. I compared the weave with my Capristo CF air box and they appear to be similar quality.

    Yes, Carbon is similar.

    I have a lot of Exotic parts and it is a pleasure to deal with them
    and the quality is good.

    Capristo quality is outstanding and i made the different triple, front wing Ferrari, fog surounds Exotic and diffusor Capristo... :)

    amazing isn't it ? I suppose Ferrari would have to fix at no cost if the car is still under the 3 year bumper/bumper warranty.

    I noticed the same fracture on my 458 after it returned from annual maintenance. Input I have received is that the rear fog surrounds should be replaced by a trained technician.
