    I am most likely sure this isnt the place to post, but I didnt have any luck in the ads,

    I need 2 badges for my 360... I would prefer the ones with the adheasive, and not the fender pins.

    And NO I dont want the cheap stickers. :)

    I would possibly buy upto 4 of them.

    I saw the title of this thread. And instantly thought the same thing.

    Badges? We don't need no stinking badges.

    I bought the magnetic ones on ebay.com
    Good finish and they don't come off at (very) high speed.
    I wash my car while they are still on.
    But, they can be removed easily.

    This company offers the most accurate badges out there. I purchased a set for my 355 and they where identical to the factory badge. Better yet, they are made only 1.5mm thick, so even without the indentation in the fender, they do not stick out too far.

    Beware, some badges are not so accurate, or the quality control can be less than satisfactory.

    I agree... I've got a 308 pair I bought for my car here, and they're amazing.

    If you are interested in the magnetic type, you can get them at T. Rutlands (call Brian Keegan). They are $10 each and I know they do not come off at 110mph.

    Good Luck

    I don't think the magnetic type will work on a 360 due to it's aluminum body.

    I agree as well. The previous owner of my 550 put them on the car, and I've had service managers at two dealerships tell me that they are the best replica badges they have ever seen. Unless you are close enough to look for the fender indentations that factory shields have, its next to impossible to tell that they aren't OEM. Indeed, when I was first considering purchase of the vehicle and learned that the shields were aftermarket items, I was planning on removing them--but after seeing the car and shields in person, I decided that they were virtually indistinguishable from the real deal--and I have left them on.

    I also have dealt with Yoshi, the F-Chatter (Nero308) who sells them, and can confirm that in my dealings, he has been an absolute stand-up guy, and was helpful and kind enough to send me a replacement set at no charge when one was slightly damaged by a careless installer when I had a clear bra installed (Yoshi refused to accept payment--even though I was not the person who bought them from him) . The shields can be attached using the adhesive backing that is already in place, or you can use an epoxy. For what its worth, I think the adhesive makes more sense as the shields can be removed, if needed, by heating with a blow dryer, as you would do in debadging a vehicle. With epoxy, I'm not sure if they could be removed without damaging the paint underneath.

    Good luck.

    Dear awhite, you have a PM from me. Dave, Michael and Vic, thank you very much for your recommendations and compliments about my shields and services. Our shields and services are not perfect by all means but we will continue to try to improve your overall experiences with my shields and services. Thanks!! Yoshi

    I have some excellent Scudettos on my 550. Have you seen them at Sir Linder's?

    I bought mine through Dave Helms and Niki put them on the fenders perfectly using the factory specs (more accurately placed than those on a Stock F40!!!)

    Si quieres, I'll show jou mang. Cabron.

    I bought two sets of 328 shields from him and completely agree. His shields are exquisite, and are also curved to fit each specific Ferrari model. I met him in person to pick them up, and he is also a very nice gentleman.
