    I think they look great! Subtle and not over the top. Was the targa roof made in CF or just covered with CF?

    I tried to source a CF roof but had no luck on planet earth.

    Covered the vinyl with CF instead :)

    Too bad... would be cool to get a real carbon fiber roof.... but your looks nice!

    Suppose it depends on what you mean by "real". The top layer of the roof has been replaced
    by CF fabric and resin. The metal frame, linings and seals are the same.

    Having contacted some that have the full CF structure...when it rained, the roof leaked big time....which is the only reason you'd really want the roof on ;)

    Like it very much.

    Just some kind of sad that the cf weave of the roof isn't the same like the airbox trim.

    Genuine Ferrari uses the plain weave which is on your roof.

    Yes, I was aware of that, but matching the airbox with the heat shields seemed more important.... (sadly, there is only one manufacturer, that I know of, offering exhaust heat shields )

    That engine bay looks amazing man!! Looks VERY expensive also. :eek:

    Can you please tell us what you paid all up for this work?

    I really like the look of the CF, anything in CF looks awesome to me. :)

    Nice looking mods. Does the carbon airbox alter the induction sound at all?

    I really like the door sills. They're particularly nice.

    All the best,

    That's alright mate! You could always resell these parts to someone else if you ever wanted to sell the car or go back to the standard look.

    With the exception of the targa top, that might be a little hard. :eek:

    Money well spent mate, it all looks amazing.

    Especially that roof and engine bay. Hope you are enjoying you're weekend brother.
