New guy from Chicago area

Sckoms · 11-16-2011, 03:33 PM

Greetings. I finally fulfilled the promise I made myself many years ago and became a Ferrari owner.
I purchased a 2003 360 Spider, manual trans. It is Grigio Alloy over black with grey piping and inserts on the Daytona seats. Tubi exhaust sounds awesome. As you can see in the pics below, modular wheels, shields, CF challenge rear grill (I think from Novitec). I installed a Pioneer head unit with flip up screen and back-up camera, as well as a Passport 9500ci radar/laser unit.
Life is good.

Welcome to Ferrari Life

Congrats on the 360, love the color. First time seeing that rear grille, do you know who made it? From the close up looks like carbon fiber?

Welcome aboard! It's raining new folks here, great sign

Welcome to Flife

Nice Spider ... looks like you are good to go with all the updates.

Never have seen that rear grill - looks great!

Good to see another midwesterner - even if it's a Cubs fan

It is made by Novitec and it is carbon fiber:

That I must admit is only good looking spider

That color does it for me as I was very close in almost buying exact car with blue/red stitching before I found my Roadster.

Welcome and sweet ride.

Did you just get the Pioneer, did you hear much about Kenwood 9980. I am thinking of getting it.

Thanks for the welcome. Yes, just got the Pioneer unit. I did not go with GPS, so the comparable Kenwood unit I saw required a separate module for bluetooth phone capability. I am pleased with the Pioneer. SOunds MUCH better, even with the stock speakers.

Welcome and a very pretty car. My brother has a 63 Corvette just about the same color (Silve Blue).
