    Put your new shields on in the correct place, leave the tint as is and due to the amount of interest and apparent lack of availability i would sell the wheels buy some nice 19"s and put the change into building that 355 temple in town square. :D

    Shields is an absolute must have!
    Remove the tint and repaint the wheels either darkgrey or black with red stripe "FXX-style"..

    Unless your car came with the shields from the factory I would leave them off.......something about putting stickers on the side of a beautiful car doesn't sit right!

    Shields are a little much IMO but its your car and many people do like them, do whatever you like best! Clean or cluttered.

    As if you didn't have a majority one way or the other, here is my take, FWIW.

    No Shields.

    Tint is ok, the interior will thank you and you can always remove if you want to sell.

    355 Challenge Wheels are Awesome!!!

    I won't ask, because I have no 26 year-old hotties to send.

    You can't knock the guy for having his shields in the "wrong" place, as on the 355 there was never a "right" place as they were never really meant to have them.

    Having said that ... a little bit higher with the Yoshis will look fine :)

    (ok, we know it shouldn't "really" have the shields on, but there's only one make of car that can wear 'em, so what the hell!)

    Lose the shields and put a 348-Look bodykit on it. You'll make a new friend down under too.
