    The wheel wicks...?

    I agree, looks weird. Every once in a while, I see the wheel wicks on the outside of the wheel and it makes me wonder... Last time I had tires mounted, I asked for the weights (to be removed from the outside and) to be placed on the inside of the wheel.

    The other problem with that picture is that I'm not in the driver's seat. :)

    the 16M badge looks like it is installed crooked, running uphill?

    Aside from the horrific yellow hue wash of the photograph, it looks like the Maserati effect - an overdose of badging on any given angle of the car.

    The Gold Wheels are ugly! Should be black or silver. The Wicks on the outside of the rim are completely hideous on any car. The Fender Badging is over done. Shield should be recessed. 16M badge should have been either smaller (1/4 the size) or done in small script below the badge. The small side marker lite should be removed.

    It's the Windshield Wipers!

    Everyone knows Ferrari's can't be driven in the rain!

    cool car, emblems overdone and crooked ...exposed wheel weights, but mostly what undoes the entire look for me is the gold rims. Totally does not work with the body color, imho.

    Sorry, but what are wheel wicks? Wheel weights? And what are their purpose?

    The windshield wipers. Doesn't Ferrari use flat blade wipers?
