    Did ferrari ever offer a front bumper minus the fog lights? Because I found this picture on autotrader and its not the first 355 I've seen with this bumper. I kinda like this look alittle, But then again I guess the 355 looks good with or without fog lights.

    "It's a replica"


    How can you tell?
    Looks like the real deal to me.

    +1, looks like a F355B...but the bumper is unlikely to have come from the factory like that...it was probably modified after the fact by the owner...either due to damage or a personal preference. The paint on the bumper does not appear to match very well either with the rest of the car...

    Really? It looks pretty real to me, dash pod looks right, seats look right, body looks in proportion, correct wheels etc, I doubt that very much.
    A Japanese tuner used to produce a none fog light bumper, pictures of a silver one have appeared here before, unfortunately I'm not at my computer to post the pics.

    Paint does appear to be off color a little. Also it is lacking the side reflectors. Could it be a bumber off of a challenge car?

    Edit: After looking at some pics of different f355 challenge cars they have the cut outs for the foglights as well.

    If that's a replica, it's the best I've ever seen.

    I always thought they would look good with the front market lights deleted, and maybe even an oval grill.

    I don't think the car is a replica, but the bumper may be an aftermarket piece. Bottom lip of bumper extends further (more aggressively) than standard.

    Real 355, aftermarket (or replica) bumper.
