    Do the developers of these kits do any kind of market survey to see if the public or potential buyers would actually like or purchase one? Me thinks ............NOT!

    You are absolutely right! Should not have gone beyond the drawing board, if that.

    So as best I can decode these images a normal guy is trying to explain the error to the perpetrator (who happens to enjoy displaying his IQ on his back) the error of his ways. Is that what is happening ??

    I wanted to blur the individuals but I did not have the appropriate software at hand. I was just shocked when I saw the car and felt compelled to take the pictures as I have never seen such a horrible transformation on a Ferrari base.
    People say that it comes down to individual taste but I just fail to conceive the individual taste that led to this.

    It looks like at least one person surveyed answered 'yes'...
    but then again I bet that same person enjoys chewing on aluminium foil

    Theres not one good line on that car. I could design something better then that and I cant draw anything to save my life. Stick figures is about as good as it gets with me.

    It looks like a prop from the screen version of "Starlight Express."

    I truly can't believe that there is even ONE person in the world who would think that was an improvement on a Mondial? It's a funny old world...

    I've always wanted to buy one of these modified Ferrari's , , SO I COULD TEAR ALL THE CRAP OFF AND MAKE IT A DECENT CAR AGAIN !

    The only thing that annoyed me when I first bought my 308 was the occasional clown would suggest to me all the styling modifications I could make. Pinninfarina and Bertone do great work , Leave it alone !
