    I took all my panels under the car that had any cracks or damage and had them refurbished. Previous owners scraped the rear diffusers and there was some cracking from careless removal or installation by previous owners/repair facilities. The front inner fender had a piece broke off the bottom from over tightening the screws or possibly a rock hitting that was completely gone.

    I did not feel like messing with them myself and was going to just buy new ones, but I found a local fiberglass repair shop that gave me a great price and did a great job refurbishing them. The price was way less than list on even one new diffuser. He repaired cracks and even remade a couple spots where chunks were missing. He also repainted them when he was done. He said he would not mind doing this for other people if they wanted to drop them off or mail them in, so I figured I would post the info:

    Good work. I'm thinking of doing the same thing to mine this winter.
    I only wish I had a 2 post lift, makes working underneath so much easier.

    Need to fix mine, I scrape everything or maybe I should just slow down and stop thinking it's a motocross bike, LOL

    Won't help.
    I refinished my underbody diffusers around 5 years ago and they looked perfect at the time.
    Today they are scratched and worn looking......and there are new cracks in the rear most panels.......so I'll have to re-glass/paint them again.
    Consider it a maintenance issue.
    However this time I think I will fiberglass the rear most twin diffusers......a little longer to look like the 430 style at the back.
    Of course I will probably crack it backing out the driveway but what can you do.

    Ha - nothing on a Ferrari anyway.

    I was thinking to try refinishing them with Endura paint, it's durability is pretty impressive.
