converting our F430 spider to 16M /scud spec what can and cannot we do ?

[janF430]

we are converting our 08' F430 spider to scud / 16M spec
The car had a $306K MSRP & came w/ $100K of added CF scud options even has the $17K front frunk ( boot compartment ) in CF ! have allready lost 150 lbs of weight fr a OEM car another 200+ to go
we have added many titanium bolts, nuts, aluminum washers, a lithium battery, etc

we are wondering how much MORE downforce the scud 16M has than a regular spider ?

We are seeking light CF scud front/ rear bumpers, wings . diffusers, etc sources ?
we will need the scud front and rear under trays where can we find used ones ? is the center under section scud specific as well ?

We will have to source a scud exhaust , aftermarket we have so far top gear headers and top speed resonated test pipes .
Any suggestions would be appreciated .
we may make our own x pipe , mufflers . we fabricated M/C systems for years
As the Montana and USA license plates are small we could even have 4 tail pipes 2 either side of the plate 2 straight thru and 2 thru some sort of silencer(s) mayhaps some small round M/C type w/ CF outer housings
any encoragement and advice will be appreciated ,
regards, Jan

Welcome to CS. Looks like an interesting project. There have been a couple of other F430s updated to the sort of spec you are looking at with threads on here so hopefully you can get some useful pointers from those threads and the owners who have previously done it.

In answer to the question "What can and cannot we do?" the 'purists' like me would probably say you can do just about anything to update the car to Scud / 16M spec but the one thing I wouldn't do is badge it as one. A 430 tastefully modified to 16M spec is pretty cool imo, one 'masquerading' as an actual 16M is slightly less cool. That's sort of the line I'd draw. Feel free to totally ignore that though if you want the badges too, it's merely my opinion

the goal ( for me ) to get below scud 16M weight and ( as much as practicable / possible emulate /copy this car as a tribute and to enjoy and surpass its performance advantage over the std F430 spider !
YES ! we have a maker for the badges ! not sure i will fit them permanently!

In which case this thread could help - update of a 430 with lots of Scud / 16M parts and weight savings as per the chart on this page:

Badges, as I say, totally your call. I just think it'd be much cooler without them.
