    koenig started doing that kind of grill, there have been other copies as well. But i am 90% sure thats a Koenig.
    Yea its got a great stance:) and it has real nice after market diffusers;)
    EDIT: Interesting how the slots of the grill suit the slots along the bottom strip of the bumper. May not look so good on a 355 with the solid strip though. Any more pictures of it? Is it for sale?

    I would think you could take the standard panel off of a 355 and simply have it laser cut.

    Agreed, there have been some nice variants over the years.
    Even Hamann did a couple for ferraris.

    I personally like this one from Imola racing. I have tried to contact them regarding availability, but they don't seem to understand what I'm talking about (it's not listed in their F355 section).

    I can sell you my F355 grill for $550 and you can take it to a special machine shop that can do laser cuts and it will look like the pictures.

    Yes, but too late I just sold the grille on eBay without the chair.

    But honestly no grille looks better than the one you fabricated for the 348.

    This board usually is chock FULL of varying opinions. However, I guess I am the only one who must say this.

    Those rear grills or HORRIBLE looking!!! Seriously! They ruin the smoothness of the overall beauty of the Italian lines of the 355.

    Just my $.02

    Thank you for the compliment. Actually there are a number of people in the 348 forum that deserve all the credit as they helped me with the design.

    Glad you sold the panel!!

    Personally, I tend to agree with BLAMPEE as well.

    Just my $.03 worth.

    Where did you get that mesh?? Is that the same size hex mesh on the rear deck lid?
    You have any close up pics?
