I am looking at photos of your car now from the registry.
Your car has indeed received the Hall cowl grills, as Mike described.

I have some "street" Koni's in my workshop, coming from a Pantera.
I will see if they have a part number on it and will let you know.
Keep in mind Koni's can be rebuild at their dealerships. The cost of it
is
around 400 euros for the whole set of 4. I have done it several times
successfully on various Panteras ! They are great shockdampers.

Every Saturday morning at Redmond Town Center, Redmond, WA, from April
through September (when it's not raining), we have Exotics at RTC.
https://exoticsat.com/ On Saturday, 6/17, we held the Panteras
Northwest
chapter meeting at the show, and had 8 Panteras show up, including two
factory GT5's. This was the best showing we've had in a long time.
Video is for the LaFerrari Aperta, but you can see all of the Panteras
that
showed up for last Saturday in the background. What's funny is the
videographer starts with the Ferrari and then seems to get distracted
by the
8 Panteras on hand!
Nice!!

I have a little Fiat 500. I unfortunately drove over a screw about a
year ago in passenger rear tire and had it repaired at Discount Tires.
They said they could plug it for a small fee of $10. but to do a better
job, they'd patch it for 25. I opted for their patch.
Move up to a about a week ago. As luck would have it, I went over
another large bolt type screw in the same tire (i seem talented at this
feat) right in the center but not the same spot, so apparently no
problem to repair. My lifetime Fiat Warranty came in handy as a
service guy came to pump up the tire temporarily and I ventured around
the corner to America's Tire. They said the first patch wasn't done
correctly as it should have had a plug/patch combo. so they were
unable, with all the legal liability mumbo jumbo explanations, that
they could not repair the tire. So.... what did they do? They didn't
try to sell me a tire, they put a brand new Yokohama on as they said
they couldn't send me off unsafely. No charge. What???? Does this
sound as unbelievable to you as it did to me? Maybe it's because I
just recently bought 4 new Pirellis from them for my LSC? Still
wondering about this.

Locally (in Florida), all of the tire companies will take the tire off
the
rim and add a patch for free. No chain tire stores will do a plug
anymore
around here. Having an Abarth that does not come with a spare because
there is no room for one with the exhaust system, I tend to proactively
replace the tires before they are worn. It's my wife's car so I don't
want
her to be stranded. She has picked up more than her share of nails
though.
Luckily the leaks have been slow and the pressure sensor lets her know.
I have a similar story about a free tire. Son went into my regular
tire
store (where I have spent many $thousands over the years) to get 2 new
tires on his way back to college. They refused to mount the new ones on
the
front, so I told him to just put them on the back and my alignment
buddy
would swap them when he got an alignment (different shop). After the
alignment, my guy noticed a shimmy and traced it back to a defective
new
tire which is now on the front. My son brought it back to the tire
place
and they moved the suspect tire to the back to prove out that the tire
was
causing the shimmy. At this point there are new tires on the front left
and
rear right and used tires on the front right and rear left. The tire
shop
guy says he cannot legally put the tire back on the front and tried to
sell
him 2 new tires. He was late getting on the road and left with the
unsafe
tire setup. I was livid and called the shop manager who defended his
decision. I spoke to the regional manager who listened to my story,
then
asked if he could call me back as soon as he spoke to the store
manager. I
got a call back in 10 minutes with a sincere apology and promise to
reimburse me for rotating the tire back to how I wanted AND because my
son
was not able to come back into town until the semester ended, they
would
give him 4 new tires free when he came back into town. I collected on
that.

It is to do with the tendency to hydroplane and spin the car out, if
replacing only a pair of tires they must go on the rear.

Laurie, I have bought many tires from Discount Tire - never had a
problem - always satisfied. They repair flats for free here in the
Houston area.
I recommend them to everyone - you can do the same for America's Tire
(that's a new name to me). ---BILL L

Laurie,
Being young and beautiful can make many things that seam imposable,
possible.

Subject: [DeTomaso] NPC Free Tire for Fiat.. Kind of strange story.
I have a little Fiat 500. I unfortunately drove over a screw about a
year
ago in passenger rear tire and had it repaired at Discount Tires. They
said
they could plug it for a small fee of $10. but to do a better job,
they'd
patch it for 25. I opted for their patch.
Move up to a about a week ago. As luck would have it, I went over
another
large bolt type screw in the same tire (i seem talented at this feat)
right
in the center but not the same spot, so apparently no problem to
repair. My
lifetime Fiat Warranty came in handy as a service guy came to pump up
the
tire temporarily and I ventured around the corner to America's Tire.
They
said the first patch wasn't done correctly as it should have had a
plug/patch combo. so they were unable, with all the legal liability
mumbo
jumbo explanations, that they could not repair the tire. So.... what
did
they do? They didn't try to sell me a tire, they put a brand new
Yokohama on
as they said they couldn't send me off unsafely. No charge. What????
Does
this sound as unbelievable to you as it did to me? Maybe it's because
I
just recently bought 4 new Pirellis from them for my LSC? Still
wondering
about this.
Laurie

Laurie, I have bought many tires from Discount Tire - never had a
problem - always satisfied. They repair flats for free here in the
Houston area.
I recommend them to everyone - you can do the same for America's Tire
(that's a new name to me). ---BILL L
