side decals

I sent you an email.

The email reads:
They are aftermarket. People refer to them as Scuderia shields. It is a
factory option on the newer models and an aftermarket on most of the older
cars. You can order some if you like them from Paulie_B. He posts in the
Florida section. Another seller has them listed in Ferrariads.com under
parts. They are about $250-280 a set and you can install them with double
stick tape or epoxy. If you aren't sure you will like them you can get
magnetic ones off Ebay for around $20. I bought some nice fired cloisonne
shields from Paulie_B and have not installed them because I want to put some
magnetic strips on the back to hold them to the car and still be able to
remove them when I detail the car. Glad you bought a 348. Where are you
located?

After market....some folks like the look of them some do not....I prefer the look of Ferrari without the decals.....after all everyone knows it is a Ferrari already without the decals....and if they do not...well who cares anyway. I think it is just a personal preference with people.....Mine came without the decals and I have no plans to stick any on it either.

 

I found that all Ferrari badges are "self removable" after parking for more than 45 mins...and some passerby fancies a souvineer [sic]. the magnetic ones represent less paint damage upon such removal...I am trying to devise a "break away" nose and rear badges --maybe with cheap plastic back bolts to reduce any collateral damage -- people ignore car alarms in nyc and by then damage done.

 

If you get a higher quality magnetic shield, it looks more like a permanent thing and they don't tend to disappear as much. T. Rutlands (www.trutlands.com/./Parts.htm) has surprisingly good-looking magnetic shields at only $14.95 apiece.

 

I bought decals then I went to the office supply and bought a sheet of that magnetic material (refridgerator magnets) I made my own. Some days I feel like a nut somedays I don't.
