458 Spider - Capristo Glass Engine Lid

[danielfrench1977]

Hello! My first post here...
I'm the lucky owner of a 458 Spider in Rosso Corsa, with carbon racing seats, interior carbon fibre racing package, and I've recently come to the end of a winter "carbon" upgrade, sourcing all Ferrari OEM external carbon parts. Front winglets, side skirts, b-pillar covers, kick sills, upper rear bumper segment, fog light surrounds, diffuser and carbon airbox.

I'm curious to see what the opinions are about fitting the Capristo Glass Engine Lid to cars, and if anyone has had one, seen one in the flesh or has one for sale?

I think I've seen a glass engine lid on a 458 Spider but couldn't tell you if it was Capristo, looked quite good though.

The upgrades sound good. I've never been a fan of carbon added to the older tipos, have always felt it looks a bit overdone or out of place, just my personal opinion, but on the more modern cars I do think it adds something. Feel free to post up a few pics if you have the time.

Thanks for the feedback on the glass engine lid - I'm sure it would've been the Capristo one, as I don't think anyone else makes one.

Sure, see some images below:-

She looks fantastic. As I say, I think carbon really adds to the modern cars
