Carbon Center airbag surround for Ferrari 430 by MAcarbon

[LaneS@macarbon.com]

We have been looking at making this center piece for the Ferrar 430 for a while now, and we have finally done it after a lot of time and work. The factory carbon wheel with the top and center in carbon cost over $7,000 so we wanted to make a less expensive alternative.

First we had to get our hands on a Factory Ferrari 430 wheel (NOT CHEAP) and start hacking at it.

We then reverse engineered the airbag surround, and had them 3D printed out of plastic (the piece in not structual, and only holds the manettino and start button in place). While we were at it we laminated the plastic buckets behind the starts button and Manettino in carbon as well.

We then laminated the new airbag surround in carbon.


We had to make new translucent stickers for the manettino switch because Ferrari doesn't offer these without buying a new wheel and they turned out really nice!





Here are some pics of the finished product installed.

we laminated these buckets in carbon while we were at it:

When I upgrade to a Scuderia I would definetly do the wheel up , possibly a fatter PPI style. Whan can be done to the R8 horn airbag cover? Alcantara could work . Can anything be done with cf in that area? \"/ Would'nt want a peice of cf flying around when the airbag is deployed in an accident !!! /'\ EEK !
