Really? Because Ferrari did such a piss poor job with the 458.  :confused:

I don't think I've seen much of Mansory's work that I liked.  :sick:

Surely his work here is going to hinder the 458's permanent image?  :scared: It's a terrible carbon stick on effort.

Considering that Ferrari have gone through a lot of effort to make the car aerodynamically perfect I don't think messing with it is a good idea

The 458 is a tremendous looking car (anyone who saw the 2 at goodwood last year will agree)... i'm not keen on this though. Having said that, I would be quite funny to use one as a daily hack.... just for sh*ts and giggles.  :signLOL:

Looks like he shops at halfrauds and stuck on a few bling bits that can do nothing but ruin a good car

Ricer: from the latin word Ricarius meaning to suck at everything you attempt 

A person who makes unnecessary modifications to their most often import car (hence the term "rice") to make it (mostly make it look) faster. The most common modifications are (but not limited to):

- Huge exhaust that serves no purpose but to make the car louder
- Large spoiler on the back that looks like something Boeing made for the 747
- Lots of after-market company stickers they don't have parts from, but must be cool
- Expensive rims that usually cost more than the car itself
- Bodykit to make the car appear lower, usually accented with chicken wire
- Clear tail lights and corner signals

Nuff said.
