    I'm sure some of you already dislike my 355 with it's black wheels.
    There are the guys out there that like to keep their Ferrari pure
    and then there is me.
    Some of you probably think it already looks like a bubble bee and this will only
    make it more so, but to me it makes it look aggressive.

    Scuderia stripes Yes or no?
    Black or silver?

    Some pictures to spark your brains.

    Not generally a 'stripe guy' (my 348 still has black sills for crying out loud) but really think those stripes would suit your car. Would have to be black. Think Sy (Angelis) had the silver scuderia stripes on his black 348 and, don't tell him, but they looked pretty good. Like I said, not for me but on the right car they look good and I think yours is the right car.

    I put silver stripes on my 348 and have gotten favorable comments but I did it because I liked it. They can be removed. I chose silver to go with the wheels.

    LOL thats me !!!! :)

    I'm just mad a homeless guy called my spider a corvette :)


    Personally I like stripes on yellow, like they said silver looks real nice. I think a stripe done with taste will be just fine. I see where your going with the style and totally agree. I was one of those involved in the Fast and Furious along with all that Hot Import Nights stuff. Customs rule as far as I am concerned.

    One of my favorite cars I had was a 1970 SS Camaro yellow with black stripes, HOWEVER the car had enough chrome LOL

    Wait until you see my spider with a challange wing and airdam front fascia. Woooooooooooo purests will piss and moan like a baby who's candy was taken away

    Do it for sure with a decal if you like it paint it on


    :)

    Love the stripe on the 360 and 430 but bot crazy about it on the 348 and 355.

    That being said, it's not bad and if you like it, you should definetly go for it in black.

    I don't think it works on the 348/355 due to the air intake on the hood and the creases. It works better on the 360/430 due to the relative plainness of the hood compared to the 348/355.

    Blk stripes would probably look good, test with vinyl, if you like the look, have the stripes painted on ( the vinyl degrades, dulls and looks like poop after a year or so).

    The only vote that counts ........... is yours.

    Get the stickers, then you can choose what you want to do with them.

    Not me. I think your F355 looks great!


    Yes. In black.



    Which looks like my F355 CH. I have black Challenge wheels for the street (and silver for the track)...

    There are only a few cars that I like with stripes. I wouldn't put them on a 355, but I liking keeping the cars the way they were built. On a Ford GT, Cobra, or Viper stripes look good.

    Anyone here seen J Salmon's 355? Perfect stripes for the car.

    355 is more square than the 360 and I think you would do well by keeping that design theme in the shape of the stripe rather than using a taper.

    Look forward to seeing photos.....

    Thanks Ken. Only pic I have handy. I love stripes but I admit I think you should create your own not mimic another model. For me it's a bit like putting a Stradale stripe on a 360. Kinda says wannabe.

    Due to the short drop nose design of the 355, the stripes accentuate the short nosed look, so ...

    no stripes for me. Works on the 360 and 430 but not so much on our generation (348 and 355). Stripes would help the TR, but when was the last one you saw so equipped?
