Run of the mill to hotness, a 458's transformation.

I'm not really into 458, but after seeing the transformation of a friends 458, this is one I wouldn't mind owning.

The car is still in the process of being slightly modified, but it's really looking good.

Love this shot:smilie:

A nice black stallion

Attachment 66642

Painted the rims to match the diffuser/side skirts.

Attachment 66643

Ugly side markers.....GONE:golfclap:

Attachment 66644

Nice discrete skid plate

Attachment 66645

So sexy when she's down low.

Will update as the mods progress.

OUCH! Pics not showing up for me brother.

esthetique 03-15-2011 01:30 AM

Not working for me either, and I forget my FerrariChat login.

edit: Now that the pics are working, I can say it looks great with that drop and the slight mods. The interior looks really aggressive like that too.

And the interior:

BigD66 03-15-2011 04:12 AM

Perfect 458.

PorscheFanatic 03-15-2011 04:24 AM

Sweet interior, reminds me of the launch CS config.

frshcoupe 03-15-2011 05:12 AM

That 458 is perfect! Your friend has a good eye for detail, it's the small mods that all work together. I love that interior, and the wheels are perfect.

Alzilla 03-15-2011 06:49 AM

Loving the interior in particular. Getting rid of the corner reflectors makes a world of difference.

Tristan 03-15-2011 06:52 AM

Absolute perfection.

DJ 03-15-2011 07:18 AM

Looks amazing! Very 360 CS style interior, well done!

MeanMachine 03-15-2011 08:02 AM

I love the interior and the wheels.

Blue4reF1 03-15-2011 10:57 AM

Nero roof and CF center caps and this car is perfect!

pearlcoupeg35 03-15-2011 11:01 AM

that is a major win there. CS style interior is AWESOME. Not a huge fan of the gunmetal wheels to be honest. Wonder what some challenge style wheels would look like on the 458???

Axxlrod 03-15-2011 11:51 AM

Looks amazing. The drop changes the stance and the overall look significantly.

slavik 03-15-2011 11:52 AM

this car looks amazing, subtle mods make all the difference!

Holy hot hell!!!

Fuel&Fire 03-15-2011 12:14 PM

Great Spec, Wheels/Stance are perfect. Thanks for Sharing Sean, hope to see this one around

ADV.1 Matt 03-15-2011 12:14 PM

Great looking 458! Nice subtle changes make it work.

Barrister 03-15-2011 12:22 PM

Ah. That's better.

Great car!

Randy@DomaniMotors 03-15-2011 12:30 PM

Very nice spec... I like what he's done with the wheels a lot!

PorscheFanatic 03-15-2011 12:39 PM

I agree with guys above, would do centercaps in grey or why not yellow w/ yellow calipers? A tad too much red going on now IMO.

Looked great on the F430.

Looks great!

Ferrari FL 03-15-2011 01:55 PM

Great spec and mods! BTW is the owner of this on here? Would love to know the paint code used for the emblems.

sean73T 03-15-2011 02:14 PM

Completely agree with you guys on the wheel caps, should be carbon or yellow.

He's a member, but doesn't post much. I'll see if he'll chime in.

eomrag 03-15-2011 02:21 PM

love the black stallion and other emblems. just that subtle detail does it for me.

Maitre_Absolut 03-15-2011 02:27 PM

the biggest visual improvement is the lowering

you get rid of the "i'm driving with the front lift system all the way up" look

i never understood how a 300k sports car can come with that type of wheel gap

i agree! i never understood that as well.

FerrariWF 03-15-2011 06:29 PM

looks great. the centercaps are a bit too much for me, too much red. Other than that looks great. Love the interior.

ljg 03-15-2011 07:03 PM

Very nice, great mods.

bavmtrwrksftw 03-15-2011 07:30 PM

Love everything but the centercaps. Otherwise, fantastic car! The stupid orange sidemarkers should be illegal on a car like this. Well done.

^^^ THIS.

Having agreed with that, this is, bar none, the best looking 458 I've seen. Great eye by your bud.

slord 03-15-2011 10:31 PM

Read 'modified' and feared for the worst. This is one damn good looking 458, very tasteful and i even like the interior (normally don't like R/B interiors)andI also like the red center caps and calipers. Borderline perfect.

hg_wng 03-15-2011 11:37 PM

very tastefully modded :)

ELITE 1 03-15-2011 11:43 PM

The best looking 458 I have seen so far.

sean73T 03-16-2011 12:38 AM

Just wanted to let you all know, he is getting the CF center caps.

allanlambo 03-16-2011 10:55 AM

Did lowering the car affect its handling at all?
