It is just the raised fender badge with the prancing pony symbol on it. It is an option and comes in two types. The first is just a sticker applied under the clear coat. Those run about $200. The second is the raised porcelin variety - like on mine - that are welded to the aluminum space frame. Those run about $1,000 for the pair. I have heard rumors that you can spec the car with shield on one or both sides. But I have never seen a Ferrari with a shield on just one fender.
Ferrari owners are mixed on the shields. Some think they are too much. Others - like me - wouldn't buy one without them.
These are one of those options that must be done by the factory. They are not available after the sale. I have seen some VERY botched efforts at adding them aftermarket as well.
Fun Ferrari Fact: The "S F" on the shield stands for "Scuderia Ferrari." The Italian word "scuderia" means "stable" - as in a "stable of horses" - in English.

This is a Scuderia shield.
