    I have recently obtained a 2007(stock)red/beige F430 F1. I am looking for suggestions for "tweaking" my girl this spring.

    1) exhaust upgrade
    2) interior options
    3) exterior options

    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    I would go for forged wheels, carbon rear diffuser, and carbon air box.

    First of all congratulations on the purchase. It must be very exciting to get a Ferrari.

    As a sponsor of F-Chat we would like to turn your attention to some products that should fit the 'little projects' goal you are after:

    1. Challenge shift paddles. Lots of info here so I won't beat a dead horse:

    2. Carbon cup holder. Installs in 5 mins and adds some great practicality to your car:

    3. Carbon fiber airboxes. Looks great under the glass bonnet and adds a little more performance to your beast. Here are some photos from a fellow F-Chatter who just got his:

    As a new owner of a 2007 F430 I am also lining up projects for my car:

    1. Air horns - DONE!! (huge difference)
    2. New wheel centre caps - done (new yellow)
    3. Fabspeed headers and exhaust (hopefully next month)
    4. CF accessories
    5. Ceramic brake pads

    Tally Ho, what brake pads did you get? Low dust?

    Still researching the pads. So far the EBC red stuff pads look promising. I definitely want ceramic for low dust. I'm getting tired of black wheels every time I drive it. I've been running ceramics (Hawk) on my Corvettes for years with no issues. My cars are strictly street cars.

    Carbonio, keen to know more about the air boxes for 360 in regards to extra horse power and add to the sound..

    Wow, you just sold a $150 (!?) cup holder. I've been looking for a solution to this silly problem in my 430. Anyone smoking in these cars is a criminal. But I really miss having a place to keep a beverage. Hydration is fundamental! :)

    Doesn't the price for the airbox covers seem a bit criminal? I know these are Ferrari's, but jeash!
