Default ferrari spy shot??

I was driving yesterday 'minding my own business' when I saw what appeared from the front to be a Lambo Gallardo. Once it passed me I was stunned to see the Ferrari "pony" on the rear . It then pulled into Ferrari-corporate (Englewood Cliffs, NJ) In the foreground is part of the front of my black '95 993 coupe (48K miles) . Check out the 3-pipe exhaust ! And there's Ferrari-corporate in the background .

Any idea what year/model?

LOL...It's probably one of the new series that has the plastic shields updated.

On a separate note, I like my 993 in white, but I'm not sure I like white in a f-car.

I'm sorry, but the words "plastic" and "shield" should not be used in the same sentence! LOL.

It wasn't the plastic sheild that was the problem it was an adhesive they used that caught fire.

It wasn't a massive recall, just a handfull of earlier production cars.

And if yours already burnt down to the ground like a half dozen or so of them, Ferrari said they would replace your car.
