    It looks great but does it have Goodyear badges on it and Michelin tires?

    Nice work, but the back tires stick out to much.

    OK, I know I'll be flamed for my harsh comments, but WTF is this?
    I have great respect for people thinking outside of the box and collecting custom models and especially for those who modify their real life Ferraris (sacrilege to some).
    However this is getting ridiculous. I have no idea how much did someone charge for this but whatever it was, it is too much. No offense anyone anyone, especially canam350.
    So we have a stock Enzo with its stock paint with just an out of place wing on its back, poorly fitting wheels from who knows what and a giant X-mass present in the passenger side of the cockpit of a Michelin shod car with a Goodyear sticker on it.
    I understand that people have different tastes and I respect that, so here is what MY OPINION is based on.
    a) no such car exists, was planned for nor anyone with their right mind would do this to a real Enzo.
    b) poor execution of the project
    c) dull, cheap idea. I mean they could have at least paint a stripe on it or something.
    d) lack of attention to detail (Michelin tires/goodyear decal)
    It is just my 2 cents.....

    The way the back wheels stick out reminds me of an old "hot-rod" El Camino a buddy of mine had. Not exactly something one would want to see on an Enzo.

    Hate to see it. But I'm glad you are able to accept it, and not "go down" with the ship. Perhaps you could trade it in on a CMC SWB ;)

    It's really a shame. Where did you buy it actually?? Like E-bay or something?? What I normally do before I buy a model and I'm not sure about it. Do research first to see if the model is "historically" correct. So that's for your next model ;-)

    Hi Canam350
    Can you tell me what is the price for a model like this? It's really a shame that someone shows a picture of a product, and when you receive it, it's completely another thing, I had a problem with a F1 replica helmet bought from argentina, and when I received it, it was totally modified with photoshop in the ebay pictures, but it was too expensive to return it by dhl, so I kept it very frustrated. =(

    LOL!!!

    with a better model from a different source,the cmc 250swb,

    at the end, what happened to me was funny: The helmet was a full size replica, made in argentina (schumacher 2000), it looked nice in the pictures, and never noticed anything strange until I received it, then looked back to the pictures, and found some retouches to the image to disimulate the errors in the helmet, I got so angry that I bought a new helmet from bell (full size white helmet) and painted it myself with my airbrush, my friends liked it so much that ordered a few helmets from me, so at the end, I made a good business airbrushing helmets with lot more quality than the argentinians. =)

    Best Regards
