How much do the 360 CS paddles cost? Granted these in the auction seem to have the wires attached, but $3311 for standard 355 paddles? ?@#!?!?!?! HAHA! Good luck with that auction... http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Ferrari-355-F1-Control-Levers-paddle-shifter-167340_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ6763QQihZ002QQitemZ120239616781QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWDVW
That is the entire F355 switch assembly, which rarely (if ever) would be needed during replacement. Unless your car was underwater (heh heh... a certain Fchatter knows what I'm talking about!), you probably would not need that. However, in defence of that listing, proper F355 paddles as a singluar item are not available -- you'd indeed need to purchase the whole assembly as shown. The anodized aluminum CS paddles by themselves -- without the switching apparatus, are about $300.
That is the going price for that setup----check around at other Ferrari parts sellers and see what the prices are...Jusr pray we never need to buy the whole setup!!
The only thing missing now is a 360 challenge stradale steering wheel. I have seen threads describing how to install this in a 355 and it would make it look even better This is what I am talking about: http://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/showthread.php?t=176149&highlight=355+stradale+wheel Anyone know where to find one cheap ;-)
