What coachbuilders would modify an new Ferrari to a clients taste?

In the very old days (50's and 60's) when coachbuilt Ferraris was not that uncommon, and there were several active coachbuilders, I think (not absolutely positive) that Ferrari would just send the bare chassis/engine to the coachbuilder and they would complete the car.

Value-wise on the 812, if you were able to do something through Ferrari to get the read-end customized, the car may well appreciate in value over time as a one-off factory-endorsed car. If you have the work done outside of Ferrari, the customization will probably decrease the value of the car. I doubt it would be easy or affordable to get the mods done through Ferrari, but it could end up being a good investment if it was possible.

I don't think the value would be lowered at all if a big name like Pininfarina did it and it actually looked good. Jim's P4/5 is worth more than a regular Enzo.

I agree with you. I don't consider Pininfarina an aftermarket shop given their relationship with Ferrari. I forgot when I made the prior post that Peter Kalikow did exactly what is being discussed in this thread with his 612 and had Pininfarina customize it with the endorsement of Ferrari. Probably Jim paved the way for Ferrari to now endorse this type of customization (Ferrari only endorsed P4/5 after the fact). Here is Peter's car (I think there are actually a lot of changes, though most of them are pretty subtle): http://www.coachbuild.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=38
