    430 all dressed up ...

    http://img302.imageshack.us/my.php?image=1881208d8nn.jpg

    nice front end ... I like it more than factory ... also the spider lowered makes all the difference ...... the doors , not bad ... and does anyone know what wheels those are ?.. the nicest I have seen so far for the car , they are a star design but seem to be forged .

    Re: 430 all dressed up ...

    The F430 does not use a tubular chasis so it does not "need" wing doors, thats the reason for them i!on the old Lambos or similar. Nor does it have a history/tradition of them for them to have them inspite of this (i.e. Murcielago). So they look like a ricer add on to me.
    Also to note that these door swill add more weight to the car hurting the handling.

    I don't know, I guess its a matter of taste and personal preference but IMO Ferraris should never be altered with wings, grills, etc, they come just perfect from factory with all the aethetics statements you need.

    I believe the wheels and bumper are Novitec. The doors suck.

    Wheels are Novitecs and very nice, the doors and nose suck. OEM is much better.

    OMR, that front bumper is a million times better now than ferraris cause i hate the stupid "classic" oval looking intake.. doors are nice but completely unnecessary and the wheels are amazing..

    I agree with Carlos, no need to go changing an already awesome vehicle period.

    I saw those doors in the shop down the road. Some 18 year old kid was buying them for his Civic.

    hmmm, i wonder if those are "real" lambo type doors that open out & up @ the same time... or if they are the cheap knock-off ones that you have to open out first, THEN up...

    LoL - I think the Commendatore would rotate in his grave, if he could see this (modded Ferraris = silicon tuned babes IMO)

    BTW the pic must have been shot in Germany (yellow road sign in the background indicating a city border, though my old eyes can't read it). Thanx god there are still some Germans with good taste and respect for the Ferrari heritage: Look at Rossi's (unmodded) beauty

    AFAIK these LSD (Lambo Style Doors) open a little bit outwards before they go upwards.

    What's the point? People who add stuff in the name of aesthetics are people who wish they had a more "blingly" car. Once you have a Ferrari, you don't need any more bling, it's perfect in that department. Race car prep can help ANY car to some degree, but there's a point where less is more in aesthetics. I'd certainly give the to a guy in a stock 430 over this thing.

    He ruins the whole look of that car more with his ugly seat covers.
