Carbon fiber side skirts from Sforza

beautiful pic? is it metallic rosso corsa?

 

great post. I will order these as well pending your feedback....

 

excited for you. His products look stellar. Did you also get the SF front spoiler?

 

I ordered sill kicks for my gts and it fitted great and looks factory. So no complaints.

I have a dumb question. Is it less expensive to order and install carbon fiber parts from Sforza than ordering them from Ferrari as part of the initial spec? Or are people just regretting not ordering from Ferrari and then adding them aftermarket? If Sforza is indeed less expensive, how much are the savings? 50%? 25% Thanks for bearing with me on such a fundamental question.

 

That’s a great deal! If they make the front splitter eventually (I’m sure they will) I’d order the set.

 

That is really a great deal! Thanks foe sharing

 

The only downside is it’s not in your list of itemized options on the plaque

After folks post installed pics and feedback I am ordering the skirts and his SF front spoiler. I am sure he will sell droves of these parts given the OEM $$ prices.....and the ease in install.

 

you do save money but hard to believe it'll cost probably nearly as much to install given the Ferrari tax wherever you go. I'd venture at least 2k to install. still 50% less than stock but got to make sure fitment and install are exactly right so no problems later.

 

Wheels and Wheel well liners need to removed also

 

If you truly drive the car, you will be thankful you don't have the rear diffuser in carbon. It doesn't take much to scrape/damage the fins on most models, and carbon fiber is obviously much more difficult to repair than fiberglass.

The side skirts look great.

 

yup, I have been told the F8 is the "lowest" diffuser they have ever put on a street car. I've fixed mine twice, and not even going to bother again for a while. I love the look of the carbon ones but won't go through that nightmare, as I actually drive my cars. At least fiberglass is cheap to repair.

 

Looks great! Just ordered a set! Can you share how to remove the top part so I don’t run into a problem? Thanks!!

This is very accurate from you and you perfectly got the point.
Last week we have tested fitment again of our cf skirts through a Ferrari service & body shop and both sides fitted smooth without any issue.
We have shoot some pictures and video of the install process that i have put together in a clip:

They didn't undo the top mounts bolts to the bitter end at first to take off the skirt, but then agreed that removal of the mounts with the skirt as you suggest would be easier and the correct procedure, otherwise you would risk to damage the mounts tabs that are made of plastic when you snap the skirt off.
It's the first time that Ferrari adopts this fixing method on side skirts with upper mounts, unlike the other models with rocker panels.
So overall, install is easy, but tricky with the top mounts.
They have used all the OEM existent hardwares : bolts, washers etc. without changing anything.
