Need opinion... Hamann F430 Spider?

Hi guys... my 430 will be arriving in less than 2 months... I'm debating whether to order the Hamann bodykit or not... what do you guys think? I've asked a few people for opinions and I'm getting mixed answers. I personally like the kit... just wondering what you guys think... thank you for your input. My 430 is white on red.

Being the Ferrari lover I am, I can say nothing beats a totally stock Ferrari. Anything besdies Exaust, and certain brand of wheels is overdone. Any wings, body kits, etc... just take away from the natrual beauty of the timeless design.

BTW, what options did oyu get on your F430?

Usually when I decide on a kit I wouldn't hesitate... for some reason I don't know why i'm having second thoughts on this one... I'm not sure if I should just leave the body alone and just lower the ride height a little bit and put on a set of wheels... or whether I should put the kit on anyways... I guess another reason why I'm having second thoughts is because alot of parkades in Hong Kong are really steep

I don't choose to forget... hell I ordered the damn thing almost 2 years ago!

I wouldn't do it, but aesthetics is a personal thing. If you like the look, go for it. Btw, all 430's need to lowered just a bit.

Please post some pics -- I think a white 430 should look awesome. I just didn't have the courage to order mine in that color.

PA001, you have quite an amazing collection of cars, btw...

I'll never forget my visit to HK last year... I was there for 2 weeks and saw pretty much the entire Ferrari lineup on the road (coupel 360s, 456, 550M). I also saw the Lambo dealership which had the Gallardo, Murci, and Diablo.

Have fun, drive safe

Hamann customer service from my experience BLOWS!!
Ordered some parts end of April for my Gallardo and they still not here....I cancelled the order...
Also, the only piece I like on the 430 from Hamann is the rear diffuser....wing is too ricey
