    Well, I thought that some of you might like some pictures of a couple of modified 348s. Not modified in a normal way, but this time in the Japanese way!!

    The first picture shows a 348 Challenge, which is street legal in Japan!! The next two pictures show some extreme modifications, which I call "348 GT Competizione LM Conversions". Well, the pictures say enough :D

    For more pictures, please visit my gallery:

    (the 348s are on the 4th and 5th page)

    I never thought some would be able to make a 348 ugly but it seems i was wrong.

    Just another example of someone thinking they've got a better idea. Failed again, and always will.

    Afraid not, them being 300ZX's units. The late Diablo uses them though.

    No I just meant how the shape of the glass cover slants in on the last car. I love the yellow seats and black rims on that 348, its awesome. The all red photoshopped one above I dont like though.

    Excuse me? Are you talking about the picture I posted in post #12?? That picture is NOT photoshopped! That's a real picture of a real car.

    Welcome to the world of Japanese Ferraris ;) :D

    The only cool thing on the all-red jp 348 is the red front grill. A red front grill with the area behind it painted black would probably give a factory 348 a more agressive look, too.

    But as it stands it's too much red on that car.

    Also, I'm no fan of black rims in person, though they can look good in pictures.

    Thanks! :) In a couple of weeks, I will add some more pictures of crazy Japanese Ferraris to my album, including modified 355s and 360s, a couple of Koenig Testarossas, a white F512 M Hamann, a blue F512 M Koenig Competition II, lots of F40s (also with red rims and black rims) and also a couple of F50s (incl. dark red and silvergrey). Just be patient ;)

    Okay dang it, you have me addicted to this page.

    I'm one of the wierdo Ferrari owners that like modifications. The LM style headlights really change the front of the car. But what I like about these is that they look functional. Like the front splitters and the rear refusers. I wonder if there are any pics of the undersides, of the cars with the defusers. I would like to see how they have them connected.

    I dont like it. The yellow cheese grate intakes on the 348 next to it look bad @$$. Any pics of that 360 in the front with the white grille.

    ilike the glass over the fogs, the headlights should be staggered ,little too square,and i would never paint the rear grill . i saw a pic of the grates cut out , leaving the big azz duct , that looked interesting .
    i would never chop up my car like that though, i only do bolt on- bolt off stuff. maybe one day ill get a beater 348 to mess with.
    but if you take it too far, you might as well make a kit car. the ferrari style is lost.
