    Hi guys new to the forum with a question. The grill at the top of my hood (89 348) is slightly warped and on a current 90 deg day here is seattle it got worse. Any ideas on repair or is this more of a replacement issue?

    Welcome to Fchat---There is a recent thread here about replacing it with a 355 one or if you want to remain stock--give Daniel a call at www.ricambiamerica.com

    Can't imagine it can be fixed--usually when plastic gets warped it is done....

    I bought the part new for $38 for Ferrari. Seriously. To install it ... that's a bigger issue.

    I had the same problem. Then when it cools back down it goes back to the normal none warped self. Turns out there were 2 clips on the back side of the grill missing out of the 4 clips. You might check this first as it solved my problem.
