    I opted not to have the Challenge grill on my 360 spider (Rosso Corsa).
    Almost all the 360:s here (not so many in the whole country) have the challenge grill and I wanted to be different :D

    IF, my car were TDF or black, maybe even yellow, I would certainly consider it again.

    If my car was black I'd consider it but with any other colour I don't like how it breaks up the flow of the rear of the car, that's the only reason I didn't go for it.

    Yes do it! FWIW, the CS "challenge grill" actually has larger holes over the standard 360 challenge grill.

    Very interesting. Didn't know that. Thanks.

    So if you were to buy an aftermarket challenge grill, are they all fitted with regular sized holes or CS ones? Or is it that you don't buy a CS challenge grill, just a regular 360 challenge grill?

    Hmmm... good question. Not sure, but I suspect holes are that of a standard 360 challenge grill.

    The engine compartment gets as hot as a mother. The grill was the first thing I did. No regrets. I even think the painted makes the rear end look unfinished (only my personal opinion..not disrespect intended).

    One of the most debated questions in FChat history, but what the hell.

    - On a Spider, no.

    - On a coupe, definately yes if white or gray. No for other colors, although it looks ok on red and yellow cars.

    I had a hard time finding a 360 without the challenge grill, but I did.

    I love the look of challenge grills. To me, it really finishes off the look of the car.

    Do eeeeet. ;)

    Looks good and serves a functional purpose, I say do it. It can always be reversed later.

    Hello, has anyone scientifically measured the decrease in temperatures in the engine bay with the stock panel vs. the challenge stradale grille?

    Wouldn't painting block the holes?
    Have you considered the Novitec Grill?
    I personally like the Japanese version grill

    P.S. This Novitec grill is on an Fchatter's car. I took the liberty to use it.

    I just installed the challenge grill on my spider we. I will see how much cooler it is after a drive on a hot day, but that may still be a month away here in Canada. I will measure with a laser thermal device.
