A good design looks great in any color

Can someone do a Challenge version?

 

Not a bad attempt at all. I think metallic shows more reflections and a gradient from dark to light. I saw a PS job once which made the car look like it was chromed. Maybe you could lay that over the colour? I'm a complete noob when it comes to PS so don't know if I'm talking any sence here.

 

Very nice!

 

The TdF and Pozzi look spectacular. Can you do one in blu NART? Thanks. http://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/showthread.php?t=245185

 

+1 I would like to see one too...

Thanks for the try! Maybe a bit more Gold in person though...

Really good job !

bi tone + black wheels looks just perfect to me.

 

I think it looks great in loads of colors. Particularly keen on the black roof / colored body combo.

Question/request - can someone post up some side by side comparisons of the 458 vs 430? Would be great to see how they compare...

 

I like the blacked out center light section. That looks really aggressive!

 

Jim, that's awesome. Makes my F430 (same config) look ... old I guess. Oh well ... it's sold anyway and seeing your impressions makes me want a 458 Italia so bad.

 

I was literally about to post asking you to do this, that looks much better than i though it would....Congrats to ferrari!

 

I think it looks good

I think removing the prancing horse would look good too - seems potentially unecessary.

 

Yes that is more like the gold. There was a one off customized 599 done by Pininfarina in gold. (Pics in the 612/599 section here) That 599 by comparison is an even darker shade than 'clear gold'. Amazing results you have achieved here!

Would someone please photoshop a red 458 with a black roof and gold wheels?

 

F430 Challenge Race car. Thank you!

 

Can you cut out the center portion between the two rear vents, to make it just one to make a "challenge" style grill?

 

+1 ....... that would be cool !!!

I would change a few details in the design to take away some of the prissiness ............ those LEDs out front look a bit too 'blingy' (like rhinestones)...... the wheels could use slightly heavier spokes ....... but the overall form is good looking and well proportioned !

It is somewhat similar to a concept I have been working on for the past few years ............. but my design looks a lot more aggressive ..........

 

black car,red rims,red roof,tinted windows.
then
purple car,black roof,black rims,tints
and
red w/ black roof and rims

 

I agree on both counts. The body-color grille elements look great, and since the Cavallino isn't inside an egg-crate grille, it looks a bit superfluous underneath the tricolor Cavallino shield. Fred

 

I'm absolutely loving all the PS'.

How about adding the dark side to the 458 by applying Marrone Eklipsis aka brown met. from the 6.0?

Other than the 6.0, the 458 seems to be the only other car that will work with it.

 

Can you do some wheel swaps. California wheels, F430, and CS wheels, I don't like the stock ones much.

 

Wow, looks awesome in every single color!

 

It's true that the wheels are a bit bland, and not original to this car. Perhaps Ferrari didn't want to induce sensory overload among Ferraristi trying to absorb this entirely new design direction. Fred
