    Put my F430 on the flatbed today to go to the dealer to see why all the alarms are going off. While it's there I am going to have them put a challenge grill on. Since there doesn't seem to be too many Ti's with a challenge grill, I'll post some pics when I get it back. Until then I guess I'll have to go ride the MV Agusta... :)

    I think so Tarek. Plus, I think it will help keep the engine bay a *little* cooler in the Arizona summer.

    I think the MV will keep your mind off your car being in the shop. My wrist would have no self-control on that toy

    Interested in tracking the challenge grill upgrade. Also curious to know if you have rear parking assist in your current bumper?

    Nope don't have the parking assist, but I do have a radar detector installed and one of the sensors is tucked in between the rear diffuser and the bumper. I'll let you know if the patient survives the operation. BTW, when I told the service guy I wanted a Challenge Grill installed, he did all he could to talk me out of it. Said it was expensive and they might not even be making them much longer...whatever that means. We'll see what "expensive" is to him. I made it clear that I know what the MSRP is on the grill and rear bumper and I have a pretty good idea how much the paint job and installation should run...so we'll see what he comes back with.

    I have been told you are are looking at around $6k installed maybe a little more. Great mod to add to your 430. That is the next mod on mine for sure.

    Post up some pics when finshed please. Maybe before and after.

    BTW: Love the bike. Ride safe

    I think it'll be a nice mod...I'm a little nervous about how it'll look. I agree with your price estimate...I was figuring around $5,100-$5,200 for the grill and bumper and somewhere between $1,000-$2,000 for paint and install (it should be closer to $1,000 but I wanted to at least have it in my mind that it could be $2,000). I have lots of before pics and I'll be sure and get plenty of afters too.
