    I'd still be drooling on the car. He has the F40, and I certainly do not!

    I guess just trying to be unique, but a failed attempt at an aggressive look IMO !

    wouldn't painting the intercooler ruin its thermal efficency?

    Maybe the stickers make up for the loss?

    youre right... i shouldnt guess but it looks as though it leads to no sort of scoop in the engine bay. but then again... as most times... i could be wrong.
    even if it is functional i don really think it looks that great.

    i wonder how that conversation at the Ferrari garage went:

    Owner: Yes I have an F40 that isn't unique enough and I'd like to have you put air vents in my hood and wheel arches, add an air intake on my roof, and while we're at it, lets cover it with stickers and paint the engine
    Mechanic: .....are you on crack?
