    I have a 360 coupe in grigio titanio/Bordeaux: I have a full novitec rosso body kit that's in the body shop waiting to get sprayed. I asked a bunch of my friends about there opinion about the rear spoiler. And about 50/50 more or less. Personally when I look at pics of novitec 360 depending from which angle I'm about 50/50 also. What do u guys think about the wing, should I install it or not?

    I am a bit of a purist, if its not OEM (CS parts are fine) then I personally dont like seeing them on a Ferrari. Each to their own though as thats what makes the world turn. Just my $0.02.

    I see where your coming from and I agree with you a bit. I think enhancing the original look is ok but changing the entire look of the car is not. And I think that novitec did a wonderful job with the design. Just a little Sportier and updated. IMO. Thanks for the comment wolf

    You got it buddy. So I guess you will leave it wingless if you were in my position. Right? My first thoughts was no wing but a couple of friends got me confused cause they like the spoiler.

    This! :)

    Even the Countach wing looks tacky. They look better without them.

    To me, wings shout:

    The 1980's are still here

    A 360 with Novitec rear wing is still for sale. It has been for sale for a long time. Hope that helps. If you are making a race car, there are better wings.

    Just do it!

    You've chosen to fit the Novitec Rosso kit, you might as well complete the look.

    The only kit that looks good on the 360 is the factory modena kit, or the challenge stradale kit.

    The Novitec kit IMO makes the car look like a Supra.

    Spend your money on a CS kit with carbon mirrors. With the balance, you can throw in a TiMate exhaust.

    I'm kinda new to the scene, and I've never even seen the kit. I reserve judgement. But I would say that, generally speaking, to pull off an extreme makeover on an exotic, the car needs to be badass enough to be beyond reproach. In 1999, your car with the Novitec kit, if it existed then, would be perceived far differently than adding it today, in my opinion. But then the question is whether you're planning on attending exotic events. In the world of the normal, your car, kit or not, is going to be an exotic. So are you going to be around people that actually care? I stuck fake shields on my 360 spider. It was TDF blue and screamed for them. There are people here would would definitely thumb their noses at that. But none of them ever saw my car. The masses universally loved them.

    I think the Modena is the most perfect production design ferrari has ever made, though admittedly new, and probably not in the majority on that opinion. I can say unequivocally that I would not do it. Would I like it? Post a pic. Have you already paid for it? You said you were in paint. Don't second guess your purchase. Try it on around town. Make sure you can reverse it. It's your car. Enjoy it.

    No wing.
