    No the inboards are the only reverse. Maybe it was just the video on your iphone that caught the lights wrong when the driver had his foot on the brake to control the car's speed in reverse. The outboard should be your directions or blinkers.

    Very good looking 355, drove one for a fair distance over mountain roads and I have to say the F1 box despite its age impressed me, the shifts in sport were great and the car was a joy to drive.

    Aaah - Beautiful car! Ok - I am a bit biased since I, too own a Giallo 355 GTS but absolutely beautiful!

    Other folks have responded but the shock light is usually due to the car sitting still and idling. The computer expects the car to move so if it idles and does not then the light can come on. Mine did it and went out immediately upon backing the car out. Worst case is a shock actuator which is not a major deal.

    You asked about shields - the best ones out there are Yoshields => http://yoshield.com/

    Take care and enjoy!!!

    One last recommendation if it has not already been done is the Gold Connector Kit from Scuderia Rampante (Dave Helms). It is worth every penney to avert unnecessary and annoying CELs and allow the electronics to work smoothly.

    Cheers !

    CONGRATULATIONS. I am yet another giallo 355 GTS owner. :)
    Yup, nothing to worry about with the Suspension light. Had it come on many times due to the car sitting and will go away once you move.

    Trust me bro, don't bother with the stereo/speakers. I never use it and will never use it.
    I am interested in floor mats as well, make sure you share what you find perhaps I can copycat. :)

    Enjoy the car man and the only advice I can give is: DRIVE IT.

    Put around 100 miles on the car now and the suspension light is still on.. Oh well, I'll figure it out later.

    Funny story: Took the 355 in today for safety inspection and emissions test. All went well accept it took the technician about 20 min to figure out where the Data Port was. He had to make some phone calls since I was no help. When he was all done he asked if he could take a pic of the car since it was his favorite model...

    while parked, steer the wheel full right then full left and repeat a few times
    check tire pressure all around as well

    good luck

    I think someone already mentioned it but while in motion switch between the sport and normal suspension settings - this can "reset" the sensors and somethimes clear the warning light - just something to try. Besides, you have to be driving the car to do it so it gives you an excuse to take her out :)

    Cheers
