    ...But a dirty "grease stained" Ferrari ballcap means you aren't afraid to get dirty and you drive your Ferrari more than you wax it. That is the only Ferrari gear that should be worn.

    Funny, I have an M4. As for ///M logos on the car I think there are....
    2 - One in each door sill that light up (M Performance optional extra)
    4 - One on each rim
    16 - four on each brake rotor hub (not well seen)
    2 - One that lights up in each of the front seats
    2 - One on each of the front fender gills
    1 - One digital version in the dash
    1 - One in the grill
    1 - One on the trunk (removed)
    1 - One on the automatic stick
    1 - One on the dead pedal
    I have the M Performance steering wheel and that doesn't have an ///M logo specifically

    Around the car as a stamp or otherwise uncolored or more difficult to see as well as multiple logos in the engine compartments, there must be at least 30-40 more.

    Oh, and to make even more fun of me.... The under door concierge lights (aka foot path lights from under the door not to be confused with the under mirror foot path lights) shine instead of white they display the logo. This was my one indulgence into "overlogo".

    With regard to Ferrari cars. You shouldn't have more than the sum of each individual number in the model number for the cavalino (including in a ferrari logo/badge). So a 355 should not have more than 13.

    hood
    front grill
    6speed plate
    rear panel
    each fender (shields)
    steering wheel
    each center cap on the rims
    =11

    As for people, no more than 1 per 50 IQ. :) I therefore just wear BMW ///M logo clothing. LOL.

    One Cavallino on clothing if you are not driving your F-car...

    Zero on your clothing if you are driving - which does not apply if you are on a race track. :D
    Exemption granted.

    Life is too short to worry about trying to please others and be accepted by them! - Live your life to please yourself and f:censored:k whatever anybody else wants to think!

    If you're so worried what others might think then give up your Ferrari - Because there are plenty of people who will see you driving it and think you're just a flash w:censored:ker!

    On a person... zero.
    Every time im at a car show or whatever, there are always those d-bags with ferrari hat, ferrari polo, ferrari jacket, ferrari coffee mug, ferrari fanny pack.
    I feel sorry for them, so insecure as a person and have to identify with a object for the illusion of self worth and status. (spoiler alert, you aren't fooling anyone)

    On car. Just dont add anymore then ever came factory on any version of your car. If you want to subtract a few, thats ok.

    I used to service a 288 that had cavallinos all over it. Even glued some chrome cavs on the throttle bodies over the ones cast in.

    On a person: 1 is too many, unless it follows the fatbillybob rule of stained with grease, oil, gasoline, and bodily fluids.

    On a car: No more than factory-issued for the model range. And a no to the embellishments of stock castings, logos, etc.
