Anyone know ?
Mostly cosmetic - it looks a lot more finished. I have a "Porsche" frame on mine.

Practicality - the good ones (35+ dollars) have some nice rubber/plastic washers that keep from scratching your paint and keep rattles at bay.

At the shop now, but I test fit the rear spoiler last night. In case anyone was wondering how it looks with the spoiler up here's a photo. Reminds me of the baby ducks singer uses, but there's is molded to the oem spoiler. I'll take more photos when I get everything back from install.

in the next few weeks I should receive the diffuser and my wheels. All cosmetic, mostly, but I've been feeling a little vain 😂

I really like the "baby spoiler" I'm going to get one for myself. I want the diffuser also. Did you also get one ?

Yes, but they are a 3-4 week lead time on diffusers. I'm still waiting on that piece. Here's some photos of the chin spoiler and a few more of the baby duck. I think agate is perfect with carbon fiber. It really needs the wheels and diffuser now though.

please excuse my hideous garage walls. Need to get around to that.

I heart Vorsteiner!!

They make some great stuff. Looking forward to seeing your pics of the diffuser.

I officially gave up on the MT PTS GT3 pipe dream today and got her a friend to hang out with in the garage instead.

Awesome Ferrari! Why not red though?

i snapped a few more pics after dinner. I haven't seen this chin spoiler on many cars so more pics of it are probably helpful. Makes the base front apron more aggressive!

I get it. I've always thought that if I were to get a Ferrari it would be bright red.

How does it compare to the 911?

Well there are a lot of similarities... about the same power and weight, etc. I think the biggest difference is I made the mistake of getting the PDK 911 so I already sort of feel more connected to the 360 after one day of ownership than 3 years in the 911.

Looks are totally subjective, but I think the Aqua Blue 991 is one of the best looking cars ever made whereas the Tour de France Blue 360 is THE best looking car ever made.

Then in the 360 you get a bit more excitement in driving the same speed but lose the newfangled computer wizadoos the kids all expect nowadays like cruise control or G meters or launch control or a button that opens your garage.

The dealership guy told me not to get the soft top wet. WHAT IS IT FOR THEN??? I guess to hold the A/C in when it's too hot out.

Oh and since I work out regularly, I require massively more lumbar support than the 360 seats have. I'm going to have to get them modified. The 14 ways feel perfect with the lumbar pushed all the way out.

But yeah I'd say Manual vs PDK is a bigger difference than Porsche vs Ferrari.

I'm digging the look here Johnny. I'm thinking the Brixtons you chose are going to look fantastic with it.
It's nice to have something new to look forward to in the pipeline... I wonder what you'll come up with next?!.

Do you know of any companies that make something similar but not in carbon fiber?

thanks my friend. I'm not sure, but I'll probably do something with exhaust, Cobb and maybe Dsc at some point. I'm seriously considering soul. Sounds like you love it!

Thanks! I don't know of any, but you could always paint the carbon one.

Since I sometimes use the tow hook license plate holder, I was afraid that sooner or later I'll break the cover. Ordered a new one so that I can keep the original in a safe. Did not want to spend tons of $ to paint match the new one. So found a 3D German flag sticker to cover it. Too OCD?

I've had two 360 Spiders. Sometimes the top can be a little finicky and doesn't want to open or close. Whatever you do don't force it. We had an owner in our club that forced the top to close. He broke a metal extrusion. Ferrari didn't carry this part and wanted to replace the entire top mechanism. Cost ... $65K
