    Does anyone know who, if anyone manufactures a replacement carpet kit for the 348 TS?
    I would like to get replacment door sill panels, but I dont really like the carbon fiber look. Any suggestions for a solid black (even in carbon fiber) with polished "Ferrari" door sill?
    Lastly, my car is a 1990. I would like to get a 1992 front grill with chrome prancing horse. Any suggestions?
    Thanks in advance.

    It's not listed on the website but they have it. They supply most of the resellers like World Up and ICP.

    1. OEM replacement door sills are available. Personally, I have carbon fiber ones from KAZ Automotive in Canada and think they're swell. If you want OEM, I know this dude who has a great little Ferrari parts business:

    2. Front cavallino? No need to buy the whole grill ($1000+), because it doesn't even come with the nice horse for that price! Just buy the horse as a standalone item, and fashion your own mount. Many of us have done it easily. On my car, the mount cost about $0.23 using a piece of scrap thin aluminum cut into strips:

    I called GAHH and they said they do not make a carpet kit for the 348. Any other sources?

    You can try here:http://www.worlduph.com/ferrari.htm but they don't list the 348 on their web page.

    Some of the racers on this forum have yanked out their 348 carpet sets to save weight. They'd probably appreciate your money for their unneeded parts...

    The seats on your 348 are held down with 4 allen bolts...easy to remove. Your carpet lifts out easily from there, and most boat shops, auto upholstry, and even a few home carpet shops will be able to cut the carpet of your choice to match the set that you just pulled.

    Re-Originals is showing 348 carpet kits as "back ordered" on their website. Price $1100. It might be worth a call to find out if they have any idea when they will be available again.

    Has anyone ever tried the spray dye for their carpet? I have a TS and the once golden carpet has faded to more of a gray. Other than that my carpet is perfect.

    The reason I heard it is hard to get is because it is molded carpet set.That's why nobody makes it.

    So where can you get a complete carpet kit a 348 and how much is it? None of the suppliers listed carry them.

    Bump.

    Come on guys. Someone must have replaced the interior carpet before.

    GHAA doesn't sell it. It's preformed, I guess that's why it's hard to find.

    Where can I get it?

    Send a PM to Fchatter 'resnow'. He got a kit from someplace about a year ago.
