    Did all F355's originally come with an airbag warning sticker affixed to the dash just below the center vents? Just curious.

    Does anybody still have this sticker affixed to their dash? Does anybody care or think it would be a cool/significant detail?

    All input welcome. Thanks to all!

    Here it is. I am in the midst of recovering my airbag, hence the unsightly hole in my dash!!!!

    Anyone else have this sticker on their dash???

    Almost certain this isn't a factory fitted item. From my experience the factory fitted warnings were much smaller and fitted either to the sun visor or inside the door jam/side of dashboard on passenger side. The Ferrari factory airbag warning stickers look nothing like this sticker.......

    Never seen that before on any 355's or any Ferrari's...

    It's hideous. I'd remove.

    Rob, as we discussed - I've seen it before, it is a factory or FNA sticker. Might have only been on late model cars like yours.

    You know my thoughts :)

    I seem to recall that at that time those stickers came with the car but were not applied. It was the owner's responsibility to place them as directed. A few years later manufactures started including the ability to turn off the passenger's side air bag and today it is controlled automatically by sensing weight in the passenger's seat in most cars that I am aware of.

    I must confess that I was secretly hoping that at least somebody would say "OMG, so cool that your car still has the original sticker in the original spot on dash. You almost never see that!"

    Instead the consensus reaction has been "you f***ing moron!!! Get that hideous thing off of your dash NOW!!"

    All good and glad I asked! Guess I will be gently removing it the next time I drop my car off the lift. Thanks to all for your replies and unvarnished opinions!!

    I checked my car and there are no stickers on my visor on either side. There is a totally worn sticker on the engine lid.

    Anyone seen where we can buy the 3 replacement stickers. I probably won't add them to the visor but would like to have them with the car.

    I can not find them at superperformance.co.uk or italiancarparts.com

    It's in my owners manual (MY US Spec '98 Spider), and noted as "removable". There are also labels on the driver's sun visor, and 2 labels (one on either side) on the passenger visor, and one more in the engine compartment. The labels on each sun visor, engine compartment and this bigger one under the grill are noted as "Notices", where as the one shown on the back of the passenger visor is noted as "Notice of Air Bag Maintenance".

    You're welcome, Robb.

    They get them from FNA. They have to replace the stickers whenever they replace panels that have them.

    My car still has the sticker on the deck lid. The sunvisors were removed when the rollcage was installed.
