    Ok I was looking for some nice custom mats for my new 360. I wanted something with a horse or shields on them. The choices were plenty but I didn't feel like spending $300.00. So here is what I did... I bought a brand new set of plain stock mats from Ricambi for $85.00. I got on ebay and bought the Ferrari emblem and the Shields. They are actually an iron on type patch. I spent about $20.00 on the patches and less than 5 minutes centering them and ironing them on. I think they look just as good as anything you get for $300.00. Just an idea for you guys to think about!

    Bill- Looks great. Very ingenious, plus removable and replaceable if they get worn. Price beats Keith Collins mats, too.

    That's the spirit! My only advice would have been to use a single badge per side, and place them closer to the door.

    Yeah I was trying to figure the best place to locate them and just used my best judgement. The reason I used 2 badges is because with that all black interior I felt the more color the better.

    Hell, you could probably take the shields alone & matt - make a set for each series Ferrari & toss on ebay for $229 & sell'em.

    You shuda kept it a secret ;)

    Unsure if thats copyright infringement to sellem since you are not making anything just putting 2 things together.. maybe others would know.

    Well you know I don't mind putting an idea out there to help someone. You know you never know when you might need a return favor... you know like getting your shifter knob restored or your reverse linkage fixed! Lol......

    Bill: Very nice. Took a look on ebay and cannot find these "iron on" type. What did you search under to find these shields? Would love to buy a few. Thanks, Al

    Looks good,

    personally i think the "ferrari" is a bit redundent with the scuderia shield, but looks good overall

    Looks good, I like to have both on; you are right, more colorful on top of the black.

    Al, just type in Ferrari patch. There will be several different styles to choose from. Good luck!
