    After long consideration and holding it up to the fender, I think I've decided to not shield the car. I just have a problem with interrupting that fender, the car looks so clean and the lies so seamless that I can't bring myself to stick it on.

    I'll just keep them on the shelf in case I change my mind I guess.

    I am in the minority, but I wouldn't do it. Unless they were factory done, I don't like them personally. Ferrari's need no additional badges.

    I can see why you would think that. But when I removed mine to adjust the position of them, the fender looked so bare. I guess it is was you are used to seeing. I can see each side of it though. To each his own.

    now you have me back to thinking I should put them on. Worst case is that I take them off. Maybe put them on and see how I like and go from there . . .

    You should at least give them a try since you have them. Then just take them off if they don't do it for you.

    Mmh, I don't like them on 348's, personally speaking.

    Besides, I don't need my car to scream "Ferrari" any louder as it is.

    To each his own though. Do what you want to do.

    Agreed. Here's my personal opinion:

    Nose badge, cavallino on front grill, another on rear grill, "Ferrari" text on rear bonnet, center caps on each wheel...

    These cars have enough branding already. Shields are just overkill. Just my 2 cents.
