Which Ferrari 488 models does this lid fit?

It fits the Ferrari 488 GTB and 488 Spider from 2015 to 2019, both with the 3.9-liter twin-turbo V8. It is a direct bolt-on replacement for the factory airbox cover on those cars. The 488 Pista has a different engine-bay layout and is not covered by this part.

Is the Airbox Lid for Ferrari 488 mostly cosmetic?

It is primarily an appearance and weight upgrade, replacing the plastic factory airbox cover with 100% real carbon fiber in a factory-matching weave. The carbon lid is shaped to channel cooler air toward the airbox, but owners buy it mainly for the finished, race-shop look it gives the engine bay.

What carbon weave and finish does it come in?

The standard lid is laid up in a 3k plain weave chosen to match the factory carbon on the 488 and clearcoated in gloss. A 3k twill (2x2) weave and a matte finish are available on request, so the lid can be matched to the rest of the car's carbon trim. Each piece is backed by the Fabspeed Lifetime Warranty.

Does it replace the factory airbox or just cover it?

It replaces the factory airbox lid, the cover panel on top of the airbox, and bolts directly in its place. The airbox itself, the filter, and the intake plumbing stay as Ferrari built them, so the swap is straightforward and fully reversible by refitting the original lid.

Can I add the silicone intake hoses?

Yes. Fabspeed offers matching Ferrari 488 silicone air intake hoses as an optional add-on that replaces the factory rubber connectors with reinforced silicone. Added alongside the carbon lid, they complete the engine-bay look, and they can be left off if only the lid is wanted.

Is it street legal in California?

The carbon lid replaces only the cover on top of the factory airbox and leaves the filter and intake tract unchanged, so on its own it is a cosmetic engine-bay part. Owners in California and other emissions-regulated areas should confirm local rules before any engine-bay change, especially if adding intake hoses, but the lid itself does not remove emissions equipment.

Fabspeed Carbon Airbox Coverlid for Ferrari 488 GTB & Spider

Fabspeed’s Carbon Airbox Lid for Ferrari 488 GTB and Spider turns the one panel every owner sees first into a piece worthy of the twin-turbo V8 beneath it. Molded by Fabspeed in Fort Washington, Pennsylvania from 100% real carbon fiber in a factory-matching 3k plain weave and finished under clear coat, the lid is a direct bolt-on replacement for the plastic factory airbox cover, trimming weight while giving the engine bay the exotic, race-shop look the 488 earns. It attaches to the Ferrari OEM airbox and can be paired with Fabspeed’s silicone air intake hoses for owners who want to dress the intake to match. Backed by the Fabspeed Lifetime Warranty, it is the kind of detail that separates a well-kept 488 from an exceptional one.

Additional Information

The Bulletproof Automotive website contains many thousands of products purchased in multiple different currencies. All of the prices are entered manually and accurately at the time of entry. Due to the consistently fluctuating international exchange rates, at times prices may not be able to be honored at their original intended rate. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, unfortunately our website is unable to compensate dynamically for what can at times be volatile changes in the cost of items due to currency values fluctuating, changes in prices from suppliers, changes in shipping and import duties, and other factors. Rest assured that any order you place on line will be at zero risk to you in this area. If in the event your order cannot be fulfilled at the original intended website price we will offer you a 100% refund, no questions asked. We will continue to do our best to maintain updated prices and we will always continue to offer our price match guarantees as well to ensure our prices are always the best for you. In short, prices may change without notice. It is always advised to give us a call prior to placing your order online to confirm availability and to confirm current pricing.

Shipping Policy

Items that are in stock in the US, either at Bulletproof’s warehouse or at a supplier’s warehouse, are generally delivered within 7-10 days. Special order items from overseas take considerably longer. As a courtesy Bulletproof offers delivery estimates to our customers which take into consideration manufacturer availability and shipping schedule. These estimates represent our best guess based on previous orders from the manufacturer and do not in any way imply a guaranteed delivery window. Many manufacturers work in a “just in time” inventory system and often take 2-20+ weeks to produce an item once an order is submitted. All deliverable items are then sent to our Japanese warehouse. Bulletproof ships a minimum of one full ocean freight container every month from Japan, oftentimes more than one a month. Ocean freight takes an average of 4 weeks. Typically it breaks down to one week in Japan for paperwork and customs, two weeks by boat and one week in US customs/clearance. Due to the wide number of variables between manufacturer and shipping schedules, delivery estimates are simply just that – estimates. We attempt to estimate conservatively and we usually deliver faster than our estimates suggest. It is not Bulletproof’s policy to guarantee delivery time of any special order item, this is impossible for us to do. By ordering you acknowledge that there is no required delivery ETA and an order may not be canceled or altered due to manufacturing or shipping delays, all ETA’s are provided as a best guess only. Please review the full Terms & Conditions here.

BP Pricing Difference

We do pricing a little differently on our JDM brands and we believe in making things simple and clear. No hidden fees or surcharges. Every price you see includes the shipping cost to our office in Los Angeles, California and all the associated taxes/duties/fees for bringing the products into the US. The only shipping you ever pay is from our facility in the US to your location. Be wary of resellers that don’t include the cost of international shipping in their pricing on JDM parts. While we believe we’ll always have the lowest all-in price on JDM products, we offer a price match guarantee for all authentic parts purchased from authorized dealers as well. For many international customers, it’s much more affordable to ship from the USA than from Japan directly, as the air freight and ocean freight costs are typically much less. However, for customers looking to ship directly from Japan outside of North America, or domestically in Japan, we can provide pricing specifically for that scenario. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any pricing questions or concerns. Please email us at sales@bulletproofautomotive.com with any inquiries.
