is it possible ?

I just bought an F430 today and I was wondering the same thing. While at the store I looked closely at the scud and I think it would require the whole rear to be changed same for the front. At least from what I can see. Then of course, I don't know if the mounting is the same. And I would think you would have to do both front and rear to not mess up the areo......Steve

 

Yes, entire rear bumper is required, not a cheap modification. I wouldn't bother.

Its possible but very expensive. The entire rear panels must be changed. It's not simply a swap of the grill itself.

Someone I believed calculated it would cost about 14 grand to make the change. It would be better to just buy a car with the grill already installed in the factory as the option was only about $1400 if ordered that way.

 

Here is a Fchat thread where it was done.
Looks great!! good luck

Yeah huge headache, unless you want the scud bumpers.

 

Aha! One thing that's cheaper and easier on a 360 than a 430! Challenge rear grill is an easy DIY on a 360.

 

Its actually not that difficult. About $9-10k to do it without paint and install, but its really only the bumper, grille, and a couple other pieces.

 

I would not change it either.
I would buy a car with a factory challenge rear grille if I wanted that.
I do like the rear challenge grille and would not spend all that money to have it as a retrofit.

 

I'm not a big fan of the 430 challenge grill either and have no intention to change mine. My wife absolutely hates it.
