    Just a note... had the a/c vents done in my 360 by Fchat sponsor Stickynomore and they look terrific. Nice matte finish,hard finish and no more sticky black sh*&t on my fingers!

    How do they come off? And perhaps you could tell us about other items you had done and
    how you removed those as well. Thanks ..........

    They come out surprisingly easy, two I just tugged on and out they came, the other three I pried out with a very small flat head screw driver, covered in duct tape to protect the leather.

    The only other really problem area at this time is the glove box latch. This is very sticky but I don't know how to get it out!!! I have also had the vents done on an '02 Maserati coupe with equally good results. The price is less than the cost on 1 new vent from Ferrari which will eventually get sticky as well. It is odd that this material is still used at all. I will post photos soon.

    Just curious if you had these and what else you had done. Many thanks. Oh, and what was the charge for your vents.

    I just did the a/c vents, they and the glove box are my only problem areas......so far!!

    The re-finisher does all of the parts covered in the rubbery material, but it is up to you to remove them, PM an email and I can send you the price list I was sent, or you can email them directly. Nice people, very easy to deal with.

    Do you have any pictures of them refinished. I need to have mine done as well and was interested in seeing what they look like finished.

    Thanks!

    The car is currently in the shop, be back Monday I think, I will post photos of them then. I can post them of the Maserati vents so you get an idea of the finish.

    I must say, I like the 430 vents a lot, but they can't be cheap!

    Cris,JOEL D.,

    Thank you.
    I bought them from Eurospares.
    The price of 1set A/C vent is 58 GBP.
    You can modify for 290 GBP.

    Not as bad as I would have thought!! As Ferrari parts go, that borders on reasonable!!

    Here is what is not reasonable: over one thousand US for brake pads for a Maserati coupe!!

    Better pads, not from the dealer: $200.00
