    Yes, but only a very limited number in the UK for a special edition model, the 348 GT Competitizione

    If you get them, take measurements off a 355 with factory shields, so you get the placement correct (fenders are similar).

    What he said. Much cooler to let the car speak for itself.

    I like my shields as well. :)
    If it makes you happy then put them on and enjoy.
    Never let others influence what you do in my opinion, its your car not theirs.

    Thats what I have also... a fine (genuine Ferrari) product indeed! Just dont get suckered into paying some putz on ebay $50 for a set... You can get them from Ricambi for like $7.50 each!
    But... the next time I have $300 i'm mad at, I plan to upgrade to the cloisonne aftermarket ones.

    Actually I don't think there were an option as such, the GTCs came with shields and that was that, so in theory all 50 European GTCs have them.
    Merry Christmas!

    Shields on a 348 is so ghetto. :p

    Honestly, leave the cars alone, as they came from the factory. You guys prolly wear badged hats, shirts, trousers and shoes with matching socks. Egad, how many emblems do you need?!

    True story: I had a '85 Maserati B-Turbo E, 1 of like 200, and I really liked it when it wasn't in the shop. Until I read a mag article that mentioned the 12 Maserati badges and emblems on the outside of the car and the 15 on the inside. I went out to mine and counted - they were right. It was so ghetto I had to get rid of the car. How many times do you have to scream "I am driving a Ferrari or a Maserati" while you are driving down the street?! Next you'll be wanting a big gold "F" medallion to hang around your neck on a rope chain (no doubt to match your front teeth)!

    Ok, joke's over. To each his own. :)

    After viewing the new 430 scud I counted 16 Cavallino Rampantes and 8 Ferrari logos. Has Ferrari gone a little far this time? I personally think its starting to get a bit garish ala Miami Vice with all these badges and logos.

    Everyone knows its a Ferrari............why all the useless "look its a Ferrari" badges??

    In the end its your car......do what you want but it is starting to get out of hand IMHO.

    Badges, we don't need no stinking badges.

    It's ok to have shields if I live in the Ghetto? :)

    I don't wear badged hats, shoes, or socks. Just underwear
