    I like the lip but that spoiler is OTT, esp if the car will just spend its time going to starbucks at 8000RPMs.

    I understand carbon fiber when used to replace heavier materials, but what is the point of the carbon in the front air duct by the headlight?


    Also, I really like those wheels.

    props to the owner for doing what they wanted to do to the car, my guess is that the front inlets are actually a sticker or film rather than carbon fiber. just a guess though.

    So you put on different wheels, upgrade the exhaust and install a new spoiler and it's a "street racer"? Something "every" kid is their 20's do these days, sigh...

    It has such a nice rear, why mess with it?

    If you are using this car at high speeds on a regular basis or racing it than perhaps a big rear wing might be a necessary evil. To just bolt through the body of this car without need seems almost equivalent to stabbing the virgin Mary.

    I like the wheels and front. If it was a challenge or race car I would like the wing, actually looks pretty good. Just not for the street, a red 458 already says look at me, doesnt need any extra. But it is different, so thats cool.

    The wheels are fantastic. Lose the wing and make the front spoiler a bit thinner and the car would be perfect IMO.

    for some reason front lips on the 458 just don't do it for me. The Oakley Designs kind of did, but yeah....it just doesn't look right.

    Without more downforce on the front, a large rear wing like that will probably make the car handle significantly worse. It will have serious understeer.
