Appreciate the comments guys. Dave, I looked a long time for my 308 - I'm hoping that education helps on the 348. Still trying to decide between the TS and the Spider Byron, agreed that there is more to the SS than the rear lights - certainly not what will determine which car I buy! I've come across very few SS cars, but I've only been looking a relatively short time. | ||

I viewed no fewer than 25 standard 348 cars before I found the one I was happy to purchase, so I'm not so sure finding a 'specific model of 348' that fits all other buyers criteria may not be quite that simple an option. Personally I prefer the round light 355 rear (I couldn't stretch to a 355 when I bought my 348). Can't see that the SS 348 rear looks much better that the grilled standard version, each to his own. | ||

Actually, you can't just pull off the grill. The lights of the 348 SS are more flush, while the regular 348 lights are inset. Phil, there are a few SS's out there that can be purchased at a fair price - what I'm getting at is that the lights aren't the only difference, so you might be better off paying the premium and getting the real thing!  | ||

You can just pull off the grill..... I bet that whole assembly would set you back a grand or more at least...! | ||

I'm looking into purchasing a 348 and definitely prefer the rear lights and panel of the 348 Speciale rather than the standard 348. I've come across a few standard 348 converted to the Speciale style. Anyone know how available this conversion is? How much it would cost? Thanks in advance, phil |
