355 Fiorano Shields

"I used the the very top, pointed tip of the shield indentation in the fender as the reference locator point. From the top of the fender, where it meets the hood(bonet), measure down vertically 2 15/16 inches. Then, from the edge of the fender where it meets the door, measure horizontally 4 3/16 inches. I did not include the actual gaps between the fender and the othe other body panels, so as to clarify for you. This should give the point of intersection where the the very top/center of the shield should be placed. To get the shield aligned, the very bottom tip of the shield is located 4 5/8 inches measured horizontally from the edge of the fender where it meets the door."

edit: first link was useless (thanks f355spider)

 

Nothing on that thread seems to have the exact measurements. David, is the Fiorano and Challenge mounting position different than the placement on a 98-99 355 with the factory sheilds?

 

Dave, just went out and measured mine with calipers (factory pressed in the fender '99, not challenge or Firoano) - 3.515" from the rightmost point of the shield across to the fender edge. 1.245" from the topmost point of the shield up to the 'crease' in the fender.

 

I would not mind a set of fenders w/ the indention already on them, since I can't read a ruler.... !!

 

It would make sense to put them all in the same spot ! Dave how much are these...... and yes I am sitting down now.... !!

 

im going to the shop today. I will take measurements and high resolution pictures and post them.

 

Only had an angled pic handy to illustrate, but the two measurements are horizontal and vertical respectively. Obviously room for error on the crease-distance measurement, but figured that was better than trying to measure around the bend to the fender edge.

Bring your car over and I can use my ball peen on it for ya.

 

Do the sheilds need mounting holes???

 

No. More info here: http://www.yoshield.com/

 

Real ones or fake???

 

I am deducing by your question that real ones use holes and fake ones stick on......... right ?

 

I have no problem with fake ones

 

Fake boobs or shields ???? ............................

 

we still talking about shields??

 

Fake ones use 3M tape

Jay should know def. about the real ones-I am not sure

Went out and measured mine according to your pic---I am right on the money!!

 

The real ones have mounting holes and are around $1,000 for the pair. Ferrari of Ontario up here in Canada will take your 355 and stamp the fenders just like the factory, supply the emblems and repaint both fenders and fade them with a black light to match the rest of the car for about $4,000.

 

Is the dollar amount in US or CAD?

Thank you

 

lol..... !!!

 

Not much difference us or canadian
