    My two cents:

    Lowered Ferrari are often good. I find alot of Ferrari models (looking at you, modern V8 line) come with surprisingly high ride height from factory. This ends up leaving quite a large wheel gap. If you lower a 458 an inch or slightly more on Novitec springs, you'll still ride higher than any stock McLaren LT or Porsche GT model.

    Slammed Ferraris though....I've seen it done well, but most look really tasteless I found. The ones that do it well are usually from Japan and are a complete overhaul of the car's looks with wide body kits, wings, etc, so the slammed look complements it.

    That looks just silly and unusable.
    And the f40 computer generated one is so badly done it looks like wheels with no rubber that still don’t fit the arches well.

    (Normally I’d refrain from negative comments, but it isn’t a slammed appreciation thread, it’s a good or bad thread. Bad. Really bad).

    NOPE. Not a big fan of what I just saw!
    Personally, I don't prefer having a Ferrari with the big boys MODs like Novitec or Hamann, so naturally I won't like this.
    Nothing better than original in my dictionary (with maybe some fewww exceptions sometimes):)
    But it's just me.

    I posted this in another thread, so excuse the repost.

    I lowered mine. It is slammed in my opinion. It sucks! I will raise it back up 3/4" to 1", I have just been too lazy to get back in there yet. It takes about 3 hours to make the spring adjustments.

    I don’t think so and I don’t hate it either :)

    I reckon 'photoshop / cg render'. I haven't seen a Liberty Walk / Pandem / Rocket Bunny F8 that radical yet. Colour scheme reminds me of the Pandem C8 Vette, so who knows.

    I'm in favour of low cars, but not sure about 'slammed'. Looks good in pictures, but I'd imagine the handling and driveability has suffered immensely.

    I have no qualms for folks like the 'slammed' look, but for me - after the ratio of rim/tire gets to the point where the tires are slanted, and under the edge, it just looks like a caricature.

    There is a point where 'too much’ of something is a bad thing, in my opinion. Whether it be trimming wheel gap, spoiler/wings, vents, stickers, exhaust pipes

    This has to be trolling right? Someone who wanted a meme car for the day, looking at the "Sport Edition" add on badge

    Some folks have different measurements when it comes to aesthetics.

    More than half the 'cars' in this thread are CGI and that pic is a toy. This is real life.

    My car is static and daily driver. Don't let the 35 series tires ground clearance fool you, look at the fender gap. . . with that little clearance there is much more to this than 'simply lowered'
