I’ve finally taken delivery of my SF90 XX Stradale, and while the performance is mind-blowing, I feel like a few areas could use a bit more carbon fiber to really complete the look. I’m specifically looking for upgrades that offer a 1:1 weave match to the factory Ferrari carbon. I've been eyeing some aftermarket engine bay panels and interior trim pieces for the center console, but I'm worried about the fitment and finish quality compared to OEM. Does anyone have experience with brands like Novitec for this specific model, or is it better to stick with Genuine Ferrari parts? Which specific carbon bits do you think make the biggest visual impact?

Heres what I recommend: Novitec Carbon Fiber Engine Bay Covers for Ferrari SF90 Stradale are AMAZING!! I think its basically identical to stock... id totally recommend them over youre Genuine Ferrari parts!

Seconding the recommendation above about focusing on the interior! It's definitely where you get the most bang for your buck since you're looking at it every time you drive. I'm still kinda new to modding Ferraris, but honestly, I'm super cautious about aftermarket fitment... I've heard horror stories from guys at my local track about trim pieces vibrating loose or even yellowing cuz of the insane heat these cars put out. If you want to branch out, you might want to consider:
* Mansory Carbon Fiber Interior Kit for SF90 - I've heard their fitment is really tight and reliable.
* RSC Tuning Carbon Fiber Side Skirts - these add a huge visual punch to the profile. Just be careful with anything near the steering wheel or dash—don't wanna mess with the airbag sensors! Highkey suggest a pro install just to be safe. gl!

I'm still kinda new to this, but for your situation, I think the interior door handles make the biggest impact tbh. I've heard Capristo has SF90 bits, but I'm not 100% sure if the weave is a PERFECT match. I once had issues with carbon yellowing on another car and it was SO frustrating... definitely check the UV coating quality first so you dont get stuck with a mess! gl!

@Reply #4 - good point! Focusing on the interior is definitely the play if you want to feel the upgrade every time you are behind the wheel. We have basically covered the engine bay and console stuff already with Novitec and 1016, which are solid choices for sure. I have been super happy with some of the more niche exterior bits lately. I have got no complaints about the fitment on these compared to factory:

  • Vorsteiner Carbon Fiber Front Spoiler for SF90 - the weave is basically indistinguishable from the factory XX carbon.
  • RSC Tuning Carbon Fiber Mirror Caps - subtle but works well to tie the whole look together without going overboard. Quick tip for ya: always ask the vendor for a photo of the actual piece next to a factory Ferrari part before they ship it. Even the top brands have batch variations sometimes. Also, definitely get the engine bay pieces ceramic coated... the heat back there is no joke and it keeps the resin from looking tired after a few track days.

  • I definitely agree with focusing on the cabin, but over the years I've found that certain exterior bits are much more satisfying to install yourself if you have the right tools. I've tried many different brands and these two really stand out for the SF90 platform:
  • Ryft Carbon Fiber Rear Diffuser for Ferrari SF90: In my experience, this offers the most aggressive look. The pros are the incredible weave quality and weight savings, but the con is the install. It is a bit of a project for a DIYer because of the sensor recalibrations you might run into.
  • RSC Tuning Carbon Fiber Side Air Intakes for Ferrari SF90: These are much more manageable to swap in your own garage. The finish is basically 1:1 with factory, and they don't use that cheap resin that yellows over time. Honestly, if you're doing it yourself, just be careful with the factory tabs. Ferrari likes to make them pretty brittle... I've definitely learned that lesson the hard way before lol.

Seconding the recommendation above! TBH, if ur looking at value, focus on the interior pieces first since that's where u spend ur time. - Center console trim: You see it every day, making it a better ROI than the engine bay.
- Look at 1016 Industries: IIRC their weave is super close to OEM for way less money.
- Pro tip: Just make sure to PPF everything exterior to protect that resale value!!
