To Shield or not to Shield

i vote for shields, will put them on ...... when i get a car.

 

Slag_328GTS,

Agreed in that there is *something* about the PILOT feeling of the 308 interior. This was a major reason, and that of the lower weight, for the Euro 308 here versus a USA 328. Also remember the weight difference between USA 328 and Euro 308!

PLUS i have heard replacing those electrical parts of the 328 interior are MAJOR $$$. Added bonus is that the 308 is sooo easy to track problems down. VERY basic stuff really (per se).

What? The air vent is not switching/working? Buy another solid core wire and teflon bicycle brake line. $15

Enjoy the Drive,

Steven R. Rochlin

PS: The 308 is more, well, curvacious too over the 328. As a man, i love "female" things that have great curves

 

The shield on the fender is nice. But o have the logos all over the car is overdoing it, I think.

 

Agreed.

 

I say no. I always like to keep the stupid soccer moms guessing what type of car it is. The less clues to give the answer away, the better...

 

I am interested, send me a pic and info, thanks....

 

I'm with you on this one.

 

I thought the shields were a must have but the car I ended up buying did'nt have them. Now I really like the clean look of not having them. The car looks cleaner and sleeker without.
Just my opinion.

 

So shields are not "rice" but decal's on a Honda are, I see. All my cars are de-badged , they are not paying me to advertise for them for free. If the great unwashed don't know what car you are driving why would you care ? Plus waxing a car with logos on them is a pain in the ass.

That's actually Bob Campen (not me) drilling into my 308. My shields are from HGparts (FChat sponsor) and fit the curves of a 308 perfectly. They have screws on the back, so you need to take off the front wheel and then remove one panel behind it to be able to hold the nut.

I preferred screws vs tape. These things stick forever.

Tifosi69, here is a picture. As you can see adding the shields was the least I did to offend the purists, hehe. Remember this is a GTS, not GTB.

 

Yes go with the shields.I bought mine through Paulie B. They stuck on with
Scotch mounting squares (heavy duty)they hold up to 20lbs. I've had them on over a year now.To take them off just drop some 3m adhesive remover and with a very thin fising line work it behind the shield. But you'll love them once they're on.

 

To me the shields are essential. Ferrari is all about the heritage.

 

I would say NO, but then if you think YES, then why stop with the shield, how about 'twin cam' or '20 valve' or 'V12' and 'capacity of motor'... get my drift... if you want badges, get a ricer.


Sorry just my 2p.

 

Well, Steven you have me by 9 logo's. I don't have the stem caps, license plate screw covers and bottom of plate on my Euro 308 GTS. Guess I have some catching up to do..............not.

 

I love them and will probably have them on my cars. My 360 has the shields.
