    It seems that ordering painted shields with your GTS may delay your production slot a little.

    Curious has anyone ever changed the emblem shields to painted shields? Would dealer do this? Cost?

    Would be almost impossible as 'emblem' shields are inset into the panel.

    Probably the best way to make the change is buy new fender panels, have them painted to match and also the shields painted on. Keep the originals. Then if you ever go to sell the car, putting it back to original wouldnt be impossible. This is pretty expensive and likely you will get many comments saying- why not just trade the car. However, I could see if it you loved this specific car and planned to keep it forever.

    R those actually hand painted or is it a very thin water sticker under the clear coat?

    Well I definitely prefer the enamel shields on the V8 models. Just not enough space for the painted shields, they look out of place (literally!)
    I agree that on the 812, it's the way to go, although the cost is absolutely insane.
    Quite a bold configuration on that Pista spider by the way...

    Airbrushed using a series of printed stencils. If enough of them get ordered they would likely start using an embedded print or even get a machine to do it.

    I would only want them if every badge was hand painted
    To have the shields only? Seems like people are itchy to spend money

    Gentlemen, anyone knows more about the significance of the painted shields? Someone told me they where first used in the sixties on road cars participating in races. I’m considering them for my GTS but wanted to understand the history and relevance to my order specifications. Going with a traditional Tour de France blue over beige tradizione, no carbon , very classical elegant GT look.

    thanks

    Your spec is awesome. I love the matching silver hub caps to the wheels, great little detail. Wouldn't have done it much different myself!
