    To be frank, I'm not crazy about the add-ons. Makes the car look heavy...

    Utterly baffled. Why would you remove the factory Carbon brakes??? Or lower the damn thing? WTF?

    So did you just cut and paste what you can do to the 599 or did you do everything on there. Im not trying to be rude, you just dont seem to informative of what was done to this car. I do like the way it looks, except the spoiler on the rear.

    What was done to the car was the front lip, side skirt panels, rear diffuser, rear wing, wheels and black lights.

    I kind of like it... For when a 599 is just not exclusive enough for you, NOVITEC it! I am not a huge fan of the black wheels, but I kind of like it... I like the stock look to though...

    So then you didn't touch the brakes...? In cases where a car comes to you with carbon ceramic brakes, do you leave them...?

    The 599 has a naturally sporty look to it - especially from the side. But it's also a classy, elegant car. These additions make it look more aggressive. I like them - I love the wheels. When your eyes follow the car's silhouette and come to the back, the rear wing yields that final piece de resistance. The car means business.

    I'm interested in building my own - oh, wait, I have to have a 599 first, don't I...? :)

    Didn't think I would like the wheels, but....I do. The car looks great. What do these modifications do to Ferrari's "return it to the dealer or leave the family" policy?

    This car was assembled in LA not my facility. I was just showing the latest Novitec modified car. I don't know any company that would modify the brakes if the car already has carbon brakes. There is a kit from Brembo for cars that had carbon brakes but it is to replace the carbon brakes when they are worn out. Great system and a lot cheaper than replacing the carbon setup.

    I have one, wouldn't do this to it. This thing and all the other riced out Bentley's/Lambo's just are beyond belief.
    An acquaintance (now indicted) loved this kind of dreck. He had 2 Novitec Spiders, a 360 and a 430. Both with full rice-packs, twin blowers. Neither ever ran right, ever. Novitec tried. When they did run, they were slower than stock. The "big brake" kits with 8 pistons didn't stop as well either, pad knock-back, most dysfunctional add-ons I've ever seen.
    If you want a certain kind of attention, this is for you, you just sit with it, or cruise. I haven't seen evidence this makes the car better, just gaudier and more expensive. Before and after dyno sheets and testing would be nice. And a clean SD3 readout on fault codes. Post up data when you get it :)
    Guess im one o'dem haterz
