Hey guys, I wanted to see if the is anyone is wanting to sell a set of extended or long carbon fiber paddle shifters for the 360? I would say the closest I have seen to what m looking for is the Carbino Extended or challenge style paddles. Feel free to PM me if you have a set you want to part with.
I saw these on eBay but don't know if they're as good as the Carbonio item. I've got Carbonio paddles on my 360 and think they're very good indeed: http://cgi.ebay.com/Ferrari-F360-Modena-F1-OEM-Carbon-Fibre-Paddle-Shift-/250859594368?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item3a6865a280
I purchased my extended paddle shifter from following company and they looked great http://www.aerowerke.com/model.asp?lx=small&bname=Ferrari&anid=63&mname=F360&id=629
I did install, have since sold my 360 and now have a 430 but did enjoy the extended paddles Image Unavailable, Please Login
Of course I am biased but there are certain facts that you cannot argue. The paddles listed in the links shown compare to the Carbonio ones like a Ferrari compares to a Toyota. Both get you from point A to B and both have 4 round black tires but that is where the similarity ends. The Carbonio paddles are stronger, ligher, straighter, and have better fiber alignment. The quality of the surface finish and general feel just do not compare. As always you get what you pay for and truthfully, the others are not that much cheaper.
Rob- You are absolutely correct. I bought one of the lower priced sets (unfortunately for an F430, so would not fit my 575 or a 360 using the same size) and the quality was nowhere near as nice as the Carbonios I now have fitted. Mine did not even have the factory-like UP and DOWN markings, so they will be for sale in FerrariAds cheap very soon. Some photos of the Carbonios now fitted. A snap to install. Need to save those cone shaped washers for the installation. Below is the lower priced set. For half the price, you get half the quality.

Hey Terry, I fitted a set of the Carbonio paddles to my 360, but my original paddles didn't have the cone washers so I clearly didn't have the option of keeping them for the new instal. Carbonio said they'd contact me with "a technical update" but I didn't hear back from them. Do you think I should be concerned? Cheers, S.
S- No, but if you are, $10 from Daniel at Ricambi for 4, plus shipping. Will probably help prevent wear in the holes in the CF. Taz Terry Phillips http://www.ricambiamerica.com/product_info.php?products_id=212738
