    Personally I think they look out of place. The only shiney knob that belongs in a Ferrari is that one you have right between the seats.

    I like them, if I only had a gated 360 to mod...

    I think they look good but I'm not a big fan of mods :)

    They fit just like the OEM dials? Seems hard to believe they would connect the same way - did you need to modify them to fit?

    All three knobs should be the same.

    Dave, I had to drill out the knobs a little, not hard. Too bad no-one sells the original 360/430 knobs. This one is ok for me as a temp solution but I will experiment with some other sizes and colour.

    I think the size and shape is fine. Could always "black-out" the brushed trim ring as that may integrate better with the dash

    Thanks. I'm going to look into making replacements...

    You are 100% correct which is why I was stating my personal opinion but as I said, I think they look good. :)

    Maybe the Sticky RX guys could paint them for you. Then they would match

    Hey Mark (and others), yes, we sure could do that if anyone is interested. Might cost more than the China dials though ;) But, at least we don't need to remove the sticky first :)

    an update:
    the shinny rings are replaced with matte brushed finish. it blends in much better now.
    I would really want to try to make the original 430 style knobs out of aluminium.

    Thats looks very good and modern.

    they have a raw aluminum with out black paint that might look good too.
    Non of these are perfect fit, but it looks just fine from the front.
    I would really like to ask the factory to make some that will fit perfectly.

    are all 3 the same size ?

    As your pic looks like 2 small + 1 big
    the advert seems to offer 2 big +1 small.
