    I have seen "Universal" carbon fiber lips for sale, they are basically large rectangular CF panels that you tailor to your needs very tempting last one I saw was on Ebay, they come and go though...

    The lip gets put on using pop-rivets.

    Looks like we are talking about two different lips. One being a SS lip and the other being a undermount?

    ^ Yes, that is correct. Two very different items.

    Well........

    I phoned up my local Ferarri dealer for a bolt which they did'nt have in stock and on the spur of the moment, ordered the front spoiler. Pick it up on saturday. Got the bolt from Dan at ricambi.

    Yesterday I ordered an AP Racing brake kit with 355mm discs and 6 pot calipers in red and black indicator lights from Imola. :D

    Had to cancel the Koenig springs as it's a pain trying to buy anything from them and I was in a hurry. Have instead stuck soem sports springs from QV on to see how they perform.

    Anyone put a 360 engine & F1 gearbox in a 348 yet? :D

    Would that be to make a 348 only slightly faster than maybe 355 in a straight line? But yet Handel like crap and loosing all the 348s go cart characteristics in the twistys due to the car being so unbalanced. Or are you joking???

    Yes, that lip does look good. But, don't you have enough problems scrapping the underside of that long nose without adding more length to it???

    Mark, did you fix it on yourself or did you get a bodyshop to do it for you.

    Looks great on your car. Glad I ordered one now. :D
