    Does anyone know the name of the company that makes the tops for the 360 Spider? I need a part that is not available from the normal Ferrari parts catalogs. I called Ricambia America and they dont have it listed. LFSC can't get it either. So now my only hope is to contact that company to get the part myself. If anyone has any contact information for that company, I'd greatly appreciate it.

    Thanks.

    The top is made by German company Car Top Systems ... CTS FAHRZEUNG DACHSYSTEME GMBH (DE) ... who also make tops for Porsche, Saab, etc. See http://www.cartopsystems.com/english/top_systems/softtops/ferrari.htm

    Ferrari may have some of their own custom pieces in there, so I am not sure at what point the CTS system ends and the Ferrari parts attach.

    BTW, a number of parts for the 360 mechanism are superceded by 430 parts. I had mine worked on last year and the parts for the little winglets are new and improved.

    If you are right, I owe you big time. I went to the website but there is no phone number listed anywhere. They allow contact through email so I tried that and am awaiting a reply. I'll ket you know if I get one.
