    I vaguely remember someone on this forum performing this mod several years ago but I can’t remember the details.

    They are not original so imagine they were added at the time of a respray? I like them, nice clean elegant solution. For some reason the photos remind me of a C4 Corvette?

    Those aren't US 308 bumpers, they look like Euro bumpers. Are you SURE it's a US 308? If it were a gray market imported Euro 308, then those side markers could have been added by the import agent for the required federalizing changes.

    I actually like it a lot....

    Nice workmanship and a modern design flair, although if Ferrari had thought long about our US standards they might have done the same.

    Totally agree...it's what they should have done for US cars from day one. Very nice...
