Current and future owners of the Ferrari 458 Italia have the option to order new parts for their ‘prancing’ horse. The package includes a series of parts all in carbon fiber.
The upper part of the carbon fiber outer sill cover is painted in the body colour and the aerodynamic lower area is visible carbon fiber. The full clear visible sill may be ordered as special equipment.
The carbon fiber front wings is compatible with the front parking sensors. The carbon fiber rear diffuser includes a rear diffuser, diffuser vertical fins, fog-lamps and rear grilles frames.
Are these direct from Ferrari?
Also, are they cosmetically different? If so, do they stick on, or replace. If they’re from Ferrari I’d assume they replace. However, so many ‘tuning’ companies seem to be pushing out body kits that just stick over the top. Sure it’s in ‘lightweight’ carbon fibre, but it will still make your car heavier.
As far as we have got the information the parts replace the stock parts and create a lighter vehicle.
I assume those will replace the original parts, hence saving weight.
Dont the front flaps deform on purpose to allow better aerodynamics? So the solid carbon piece would be a downgrade then…
