03FE08710004LG, 03FE08710004LM, 03FE08710037LG, 03FE08710037LM

Carbon engine bay parts for the Ferrari 488 GTB and Pista: the rear air guide panel and the set of engine bay covers, left, right and front, each in gloss or matt lacquer.

What is available

• Rear air guide panel (03FE08710004LG gloss, 03FE08710004LM matt);
• Engine bay covers, left, right and front (03FE08710037LG gloss, 03FE08710037LM matt).

On a mid-engined car with a glass engine lid these are the panels you look at every time the car is parked, which is why they are usually the first carbon an owner buys.

How the carbon is made

Prepreg layers are hand-laid into Capristo's own moulds, cured in an autoclave or press and lacquered by hand, in the same weave the car manufacturer uses. Carbon does not corrode and copes well with the heat cycling of an engine bay that sits above a twin-turbo V8.

Good to know

• Mounting hardware is included and the panels use the factory fixing points;
• The covers replace the original panels rather than sitting over them;
• Gloss and matt are separate part numbers, the finish is chosen at order;
• The same parts are listed for the GTB and the Pista.

Capristo Automotive GmbH has built carbon parts and exhaust systems for Ferrari since 1990.
