    Anyone know the best source of aftermarket enamel shields at the moment or have any experience with them?

    I looked around 8 years ago for a set, everyone recommended Yoshi shields but I never actually bought any. I now see this guy is out of business and no longer selling but eBay have a plethora of choices. IIRC they were also produced in India too years ago but everyone said they were bad quality.
    Grateful for any advice.

    The aftermarket enamel shields on our 355 are pretty aged out and also need replacing... So I'm also curious about this...

    Yoshields were the best! In fact, my car was HIS car, but I have owned it since 2009. My Yoshields still look fantastic.

    Every so often you might find a set of his shields on ebay or other sales website. Anything else is simply not going to be quality enough to put on a Ferrari in my opinion.

    Here's an eBay link to high quality cloisonné shields, $325.00 for the pair, located in the USA, Golden Colo. I recall that the seller is an FChat member.

    Hello,
    Do not buy your Ferrari if it does not have factory shields.
    When I was looking for my F430 'no shields' was a deal breaker for me.
    I have seem a few 'aftermarket' examples and nothing comes close.
    My best advice is 'if you don't have the real deal' just forget it and live with the way the car was ordered.
    Regards,
    Les

    Love shields !

    How many cars can sport such a bold flare?

    Oem vs high quality reproduction, I like em both. Just refrain from profuse shield slapping like the valve stem, oil cap, & tramp stamp on the rear end stuff, thats just desperate for attention.

    Nah. Do what you want with your own car. Aftermarket shields are removable. Some folks like them, some don't.
