    I saw an tread on SHIELDS for sale recently, and now I cant find it to save me. Please let me know of any type you may have. My 812 GTS just finished production and in error the shields were not applied.
    I was going to try to live without them, BUT I sure will miss them. I will try the stick on and take them off if they don't look good. Thanks

    Curious who made the error?
    You? Dealer? Factory?

    Sorry I don't have the answer.

    But that seems like a HUGE deal to me if dealer or Ferrari error on a customer specced 812GTS.

    Sorry this happened. I hope you find satisfactory resolution.

    I think the most recent reference was to this:

    Historically, the "reference standard" for after market shields were the Yoshi shields. Ferrari put him out of business in 2012. I put a set of Yoshi's on my 575 15 years ago and they look like new after 100,000 miles of exposure.

    its a bigger deal than just add them, the fender has to be "debossed" to allow the shield to sit in the recess. It can be done but you have to repaint the fenders after the debossing is done. its about a $5-6k event if you want it done right after the car is built.

    I don't think there is a recess in the fender. I think the after market shields have adhesive. I am really depressed about this, but I either just live with it or without.
    Its obviously an oversite without many options to correct. Thanks for you help.

    You can go even better and replicate the hand-painted shield option:
