    Getting 360 spider delivered tomorrow . I love the look of carbon fiber, I know there is no benefit to it at all ( weight saving etc) just like the appearance. Lots of companies make it , which do you guys have experience with? I'm thinking of engine bay stuff: air boxes, side panels etc, give me some feed back, thanks

    Mine has just about every CF piece available and I like most of it. I think the diffusers, door panels, sill plates, console, gauge and radio surrounds, air boxes, engine air vents (exterior), and engine compartment side panels look great. Don't like the cover between the air boxes (with horse), CF shift knob, or the (Ferrari part) gas cap (with horse) and will be selling those at some point.

    CF came from Ferrari (gas cap), Carbonio (air boxes and diffuser fins) and Nouvalari (everything else)..

    I've had MA Carbon on past cars and was very pleased with the quality.

    If you are missing the red hose, we have the hoes only and t-bolts available separately. We stock them in red, yellow and black. We can have produced any hose you are looking for.

    Most of my carbon fiber is Tubi. Engine bay panels and airboxes, door pockets, center console, gauge cluster, radio and HVAC surround. It's kind of cool to have Tubi carbon fiber to go along with the Tubi exhaust. The parts are incredibly lightweight too. The Tubi pieces aren't available anymore but there are some folks like Eurospares that you can still find with stock.

    The newer aftermarket parts from the manufacturers above have a nice look to them. I have one small piece from ValenceUSA that is just gorgeous and another small piece from MaCarbon.
