Quick brotherhood question: are the 348 and 355 windshield interchangeable? Also, what thickness do most of you get when replacing the stock windshield with polycarbonate: 1/4", 3/16", or 1/8"? I am thinking about replacing mine (ugly scratches and internal delamination) but the one place only offers stock trim 355 windshields. Thanks, Kai Is it 2012 yet?
I think the 355 has an internal antenna for the radio and the 348 does not, but otherwise they will interchange.
My 355 is using a 348 glass w/o the antenna. Makes plenty sense to me since I can't and don't want to hear the radio while wanting to save quite a few bucks.
Thanks. So the 355 polycarbonate will fit. Anybody gone that route and hat thickness is you use? 1/4"? Kai Is it 2012 yet?
The rear view mirror fitting is different, which means you will need to get a 355 mirror for a 355 winshield.
This is true, but you can have a custom fitting mount created for the 348 mirror to work on the 355 windshield just fine. Fast Cars here in Redondo Beach did this for me when I replaced my windshield and it looks perfect. So if you go this route just contact Craig over at Fast Cars, he is on this board under Calder1.
I also need a windshield for my 355 and was planning on purchasing it from http://www.vitresdautosjutras.com since it's 20 minutes from where I live. Not sure if it's good or not but they are from China and the price is cheap at 675$ (without antenna) once I see it and get one I will post my toughts and some pictures (I plan on going before xmas) I was also told by a windshield replacement technician that he may be able to save the windshield trim when he changes it. Do you guys think it's possible? The trim kit from Ferrari is 1000$....
Try Eurospares. Mine was far cheaper than that though I don't remember how much. It was not a shocking number.
The trim kit. I believe the kit + the 348 screen cost just over $1.5k+ but my memory does not serve me well. Trim kit is very far from $1k for sure.
it's worth saving the trim (others have by being extra careful)....for reference ferraripart.co.uk lists a new trim kit for 530.50 euro ($703 usd) http://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/showthread.php?p=134789950
