    I purschase these lighted signs direct from the factory that makes them for Ferrari. We stopped selling them about 3 years ago due to low demand, however they are 100% genuine & as said, made by the company that supplies them to Ferrari.

    I have available all different sizes, double lighted, single lighted, non lighted as well as "FERRARI" yellow signs too. Prices start @ $1399.99 & go up to $2499.99 depending on size. I can provide pictures to anyone that would like, as well as dimensions.

    If there is enough interest, i'll put a small order in and have some made, usually 6-8 weeks turn-around.

    Hey Guys,

    This is probably directed more to guys that have more experience with these signs, and maybe even own one, but is it just me or do these Factory 26” X 46” rectangle (liken to the badge on the front of the car), lack fine detail. I mean, when you get close to it, it appears that the color isn’t within the lines and maybe a few slivers were color is absent not to mention a small bit of over spray of color over another color. The marks within the horse (giving it a 3-D effect) almost look as if they were hand painted by a 4 year old.

    Please don’t get me wrong I’m not complaining, if this is the way they are I can definitely accept it!

    Just looking for a little insight.

    Thanks Guys,

    Chris.

    I helped one chatter on a Factory sign, it had Eurpean voltage configuration on the ballasts, a North American version should be 60Hz instead of 50Hz, those European guys have some strange ideas on electricity..........

    Ran into it again on some special security equipment items for Rice University....

    Hey Guys.

    Are all the signs painted in the same manner?

    The reason I ask is that I’ve noticed when you get close to the sign, the detail lacks. By that I mean that the detail lines with in the “horsey” (giving it the 3-D effect) looks as if they were finger painted by a 4 year old-not sharp and crisp. Is that the case with all of the embossed signs, as you get close to the sign the detail appears to be lacking?

    How can you spot a fake sign, are they out there?

    Thanks Guys,

    Chris.

    I bought a dealer look alike sign from a company that advertises in the Ferrari Club Newsletter, and it looks great. I believe
    it was in the $400 range, and has now worked for 2 years with no issues. There is no name, just a phone # in the ad
    864-296-9816, and it looked as if it was shipped direct from China. It is not as large as the originals, but looks good on
    the garage wall.
