    Dane, thanks you for the compliment and agree with you my friend. The $1000 or so to pound them in and repaint the fenders could be better spent on speed tweaks/weight loss effort. The 308 is, frankly, underpowered/TQ and i highly doubt the aero loss due to the shields sticking out will even be noticeable.

    But spending $1000 to lose 15 lbs up front for a better radiator and losing another 40 lbs or so to yank the AC out of the car.... that WILL be noticeable :)

    That's the one, Dr. B.!!!!!!!! LOL!

    Thanks for that shot! I'm having them made for both my cars, based upon a flat cloisone badge from Black Bart's..........

    It's only right to credit Mr. Chinetti, for his role in bringing these cars to America!

    The shields are only for ITALIAN Ferraris!!! ;)

    Right back at ya,' Steve. The radiator and AC "mods" are $1K well spent.

    I'm glad someone else does these sorts of calculations! I rem one day I was clipping the ends off of cable ties (zip ties) in my engine bay, and my father asked what I was doing. Holding up a short piece of plastic I replied: "My car is now lighter, and therefore faster!"

    If it makes you feel better, the badges actually provide a small amount of added aero downforce and improve the weight disribution as well. Net gain!

    :D

    Right. Mount them on the back where they'll be easily seen.
