    I am over the moon! My car had the solid rear grill originally, and one of the previous owners wisely fitted the challenge rear grill. It turns out that when they sold the car back to the dealer that they gave the original Grill with it. I contacted the dealer (total crap shoot) and guess what? They still had it!

    They then very kindly gave it to me for free! Wow!! A huge thank you to Cauley Ferrari!

    My car had the challenge grille on it, but the PO had the original thank goodness. I like the look of the painted grill better. o_O

    Thanks but I'm going to leave it on for right now. The solid one looks better but the challenge one cools better. ;)

    My original piece was stolen from my garage while in the process of moving during a break in a few years ago. :(

    However, personally I think every car should've come equipped with the challenge grill from the factory for heat dissipation reasons alone...aesthetically in my opinion it looks significantly better as well.

    She's still here!

    As we were moving the house was empty, we were spending nights in the new place. Went back to empty the garage out of the old house and noticed the door had been kicked in.

    Realized a few days later the 355 rear panel was gone. Not sure what else...was mostly stuff that would likely never get used again.
