    Got my euro signals today as well as my shields. I'm just not sure I want to put them on the car or not.

    It's a 355 Berlinetta in Nero.

    Just not sure they should go on or not . . .

    Cool. Looks like the Shields have it. Still at work, need to get them home and hold them up to see what I think

    I use magnetic shields on my 348 and they still look OK, IMO.

    I bought some yoshi shields for my 348 - they are made really well and look great. I'm just having a hard time with the aftermarket-ness of shields on a 348 (only on my own car, btw - 348s look great w/ shields), so I didn't leave them on. I thought about maybe doing the factory frenching-in, but that is just expensive enough to be completely stupid. :)

    Shields do look freakin fantastic, and on nero, they will kill.

    I have shields on my giallo and that is ok.........but on a nero it will be just fantastic.

    For those lucky guys where the car was ordered with shields there is no discussion at all, there must be shields, but for the rest of us.........

    Agreed!

    I just got done driving that one and as usual I can't wipe the smile off my face.

    Bush, I can't thank you enough for selling me such a great car.:)

    So for the uninitiated like me - what are the Yoshi shields and what are the Indian ones ?

    Bought mine off a guy from the USA. Will have to check as I am not at home right now. From memory, Daniel from Ricambi recommended him.

    The magnetic shields look better than the stick on decal ones but understandably, nowhere near the quality of the metal ones (or price).

    They cling to the metal well and don't scratch the paintwork. Ideal for concours aficianadoes and the like as they go on and off in seconds.
