    Hi everyone. My recently purchased 95' 348 Spider does not have a the "348 Spider" badge on the back deck. The car has not been repainted or anything. I've seen some that do have it, and some that don't. Can anyone shine some light on thos for me.
    Thanks

    They're stick-on badges. And "de-badging" was trendy back in the 90s. So maybe...

    Ah, didn't even think of that. So all the spider are supposed to have it? O difference between Euro, CDN or US spec cars?

    Also, the book - Original Ferrari V8 by Keith Bluemel states [paraphrasing] that all had "Model Description Badges" on the right-hand rear face of the engine cover lid.

    However, the photo of an SS on page 86 shows no model description badge.

    I have a 95 348 spider & there are not any badges on the rear deck lid/engine cover. only rear insignia is the chrome cavallino on the slats and the Ferrari script on the engine cover center.

    Thanks for ths reply. Has your car been repainted or anything? I actually read that ferrari stopped badging the car in hopes to increase sales because the 348 wasn't selling well.

    My US spec '94 spider doesn't have the badge either. Doesn't seem to be any indication it ever had one either.

    2 Ferrari 348 Spiders in Portland,
    Who would have predicted that?
    Considering how much rain, and little real convertible driving weather! I did get out yesterday to exercise "Franchesca".

    De-badging a Ferrari is equivalent to castration

    Blame Luca Di Montezemolo because he didn't know how to drive one.

    All 1993 and early1994 Spiders worldwide wore ‘348 Spider’ badging on there tails. Ferrari deleted this badging on all 1995 Spider production worldwide.
