Me neither but if I was prepared to spend the money on a 458, I'd also invest money in a wide body makeover that didn't involve a tacked on, rivet filled, front and rear fender... I'd have the panels redone or something more appropriate than rivets Just my view...

Cant remember the name (Rough Style) but thats the new thing is just bolt it on and go, I think it looks cheap I had a good friend with a TRD widebody kitted supra that was 100% molded in and that was perfection this new style not so much.
guess im old school... here's an explanation for the new style http://oppositelock.kinja.com/rough-...ined-471119078 |

They get me twitching!
In my mind the rivets make it look as though cash is even less of a concern and it follows function over form... I doubt there are any real world gains from the kits but damn they look good to me! Marmite!

i understand why people do the LW kits and completely respect it.
Personally though, I generally modify to enhance a vehicles performance, not lessen it. These kits are overly wide and dramatically alter the factory tuned dynamics of the car. |

I think they look horrible and remind me of some miata "tuners" who went to Home Depot to try and think of a way to make 15x9 inch rims fit their car in a very low offset.
I was once into modifying cars. However, today, I think I would just like to purchase cars that don't need to be modified. Design engineers don't spend millions in R&D to develop suspension, set factory specs, just to have some guy and his friends relabel some suspension components and brand them as the next best thing. Regarding that 458 with the vertical wing. Has that been wind tunnel tested? I never understood why people put that vertical wing as it seems like a huge amount of drag Last edited by PoorLurker; 12-31-2015 at 12:41 PM.. |
