    One of my NSX buddies sent me a link to a thread on NSXPRIME (NSX Forum). The author was stating that this sticker is standard equipment on an Enzo. But nobody really knows. It would be cool if I could chime in and say that an actual Enzo owner told me that it is/is not true.

    There is a sticker like that on the dash of every US spec Enzo as delivered from Ferrari NA, but it actually reads "WARNING: Children can be KILLED or INJURED by Passenger Air Bag". This removable label is a requirement for cars sold in the USA by the NHTSA. For the nitty-gritty details and examples of what's required you can read this webpage:

    http://www.nhtsa.dot.gov/cars/rules/rulings/Labels5.mlv.html

    Here's a shot of the sticker still affixed to the dash of another Enzo although it isn't legible at this resolution. All this other owner has done is covered the white portion with a separate black sticker that has the Shumi joke printed on it.

    The dash looks like a Maranello, not at all like an Enzo. If you watch the bottom, there is leather stiched.

    Haven't seen that in an Enzo.

    I think he was referring to the first picture in this thread of the sticker.

    Can that sticker be pulled off the dash? I think it looks ugly and I don't care what the NHTSA thinks.

    Yes, the sticker has a low grade adhesive and is designed to be removed by the customer following the sale of the car. All details are covered in the NHTSA website link that I provided.
