    Just want to report that I fitted a Challenge Stradale wheel with airbag to my 95 355 and it fit as if original equipment. ECU seems to have synched with airbag as no warning lights came on - Ferrari mechanic feels positive that any problem with software would show up immediately - none did.
    While the new wheel looks great, there is even better news. The car feels GREAT, more responsive and overall just better than ever, and the weight saving is substantial - at least 5 to 7 pounds.
    Highly, highly recommend this upgrade if your 355 is a keeper. Total cost almost $3K from Ricambi.

    Very nice upgrade, the stock wheel kills the interior IMO. I can post pics for dom when his cars in the shop shortly.

    I'm in the middle of replacing the stock seats with Sparco Monza's recovered in tan leather with black daytona inserts. Exterior is red.I've replaced all the interior trim with carbon fibre. Harmony is handling installation for me, and as Dan just posted, he'll be able to post a number of images once the job is complete.

    I agree thats why I put the MOMO Commander on it gives more room to get in and out and feels great.

    Your stuff looks great, especially the center console trim.
