    Pepe, thanks.

    I began manufacturing the LeMans Grill after significant input in the design from a number of 348 owners, several of which are on this forum.

    I have manufactured and sold about 50 of these things now and I've shipped them literally all over the world. Right now, I am down to 7 kits left in my garage (wife is very happy :) )

    However...I have since sold my 348 and I won't be producing any more grills after these 7 run out. I make a whopping $250 or so per grill and it was a fun hobby while I had the 348, but since it's gone, I'm on to other things.

    I sure like the look, though! ;)

    Been sitting on the fence reading all the 348 are ****heaps and 355 are the best post. I'm no expert at anything but I prefer the way my 348 looks and the way a 355 goes and sound. Based on that I would keep me worst ever **** box 348 and be very happy.

    Which Ferrari book mentioned this? I've never heard that before, but would love to know if this is true as well?

    If you gonna do it, I like these side intakes. Sharper edges, makes it look more aggressive to me. And I think this is a kit that may be reversible.

    You may be right about the spacers, But they sure do make the car look better.

    OK. If you really what to do it. Here it is. The japanese are much more experienced with mods. Here is a web site that will help. The LM fixed headlights are very tempting but discontinued. You'll need a babble fish translator to read the page.

    Thank you eric
    i really appreciate yr help
    i will try and find it.
    yr the best.
    i like the rear grill look but with the original round lights behind the grill.
    looks factory. the 355 look is still nice but i luv the look of the 348 grill.
    looks very aggressive yet elegant at the same time.
    grazie

    I love it mate, but I wouldnt fit it to my car. :):)

    I love the look of the stock look of the rear lights/grill. :):)

    But each to their own, if you like the look then I say go for it. :D:D
