    I was afraid you would say that. :) I went and googled for images and all the ones I found on a few modern cars looked like the one on the left. The one on the left looks goofy...all bug eyed and such and the one on the right looks like what you typically see and thought it was correct.

    I wonder if there are different version of the horse over the years and maybe they are both correct "looking".

    mmmm. Dang it...now I have to find out. haha

    The one on the left is found on the 355, 360, and 550. It measures 4.5 inches. Emblems that resemble the one the right are found on the 348 and the 430. Real ones measure in at 3 inches. It is the same height as the one on the left making it a fake.

    Thnx for you clarification. But are you sure about your statement?? Probably would be great to post some pictures to show the differences with the horse on the car.

    Thanks in regards

    I'm sorry, but you're wrong. The size of the horse doesn't make it a fake. What makes the horse above a fake is the crappy design of the horse's mane and lower tail -- just like 99% of the junk on ebay that people (to my astonishment) often buy for more than the retail price of an authentic item anyway.

    A 355 front horse, 64122300 is usually what 348 owners put on the front of their car. It's a legitimate item -- just not one that Ferrari ever spec'd for the car. 60032109 is similarly sized, and works fine in the front of a 348, as it's 'spec' for late/Euro 348's.

    The rear horse on 348's was originally black until the final cars. A chrome F355 rear horse 63233900 fits the 348 rear just fine.

    OK then I'll sell you this 650 hp "Ferrari" for only $500k (less than half of what an Enzo costs...same hp). Picture below. :D

    Sorry to give you an aneurysm and making it worse by posting further. I'm quite aware of the shoddy details. I began to really wonder myself and ended up doing a double take with the fake to #60032109 and thought they were the same. Causing me to arrive at an errored conclusion. Thanks for the clarity.

    EDIT: Where's that picture of the 348 with the Mustang emblem on the front? haha

    It's pretty confusing actually. Can anybody say which of the horses is real and/or fake??
