360 Spider - Adding Fender Badges

I have the same ones on my F430 but my car already had Scuderia shields.
Dents are 1 mm deep from surface, there should be no big difference in my opinion

 

I installed the thick resin shields on my 550 and 456M and looks just as good as the factory badges. The good thing about this is that you can remove them anytime without having to worry about the permanently drilled holes. Also carbon fiber shields look good but I am not sure if they stand out in a black background color. Yellow shields would stand out more (just my opinion).

 

I think there is a shop that will indent the fender so that the shields will look stock. Wouldn't be cheap, but you are already looking at spending serious money.

I wouldn't drill otherwise. Remove the posts and attach them with good quality double sided tape.

Not that you asked, but you might find this interesting. http://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/348-355/389839-shields-compare.html

 

I think BSU is giving you good advice in removing the posts and using appropriate tape to install them so that you can avoid permanent alterations to the fender.
You may also want to try to photoshop them on first to see how they would look on a black car.

 

Personally, I wouldn't drill holes in a Ferrari body panel. But its your car. So if you are going to spend over $1500 just for the badges, you might want to consider the yellow ones. I have a yellow 360 and it came with the yellow OEM fender shields. The yellow on yellow was not great contrast and so I switched to the black carbon fiber accessory shields. I would think that black on black might have the same issue as yellow on yellow.

 

here is a photo of mine. If you need a better shot let me know, but I would only do yellow.

Jim400i is the guy to contact for new, nice quality stick on's. I've had the fakes on my first and third fcars, the 430 in the middle had factory scuderia shields. I don't think anyone in the meets begrudges you having stick ons. I've never sensed it anyway. Back when the 360 was built it wasn't a compulsory option like it was with the 430's and everything else now, but because it is now the older cars look more naked than they should. I'm with the guys that say don't drill. It's not necessary. People that know understand, people that don't can't tell the difference.

Also just my opinion, but I think normal yellow shields will look great on your car, and I think show a little better than something that looks like it would never have been on it from the factory. If they ever need to come off, dental floss and a little buffing.

 

I like the black on black. The silver sets it off. Different effect than yellow on yellow.

 

I definitely agree with above to cut/grind the posts off. Make sure you grind them flush, as any rough edge could wear through the double sides tape and eat into the paint.

Cool look that's removable in the future.

 

I'm thinking of getting the black/black as well since it'll match nicely with my wrapped 360 spider.
