Ferraris don't need body kits.

Well, if I owned a 458.... Uh, lost my train of thought. Oh yeah, I would have spent a quarter million dollars.

I agree they don't "need" a body kit, but how are you going to differentiate yourself from all the plain 458's in your gated community. They don't paint Ferraris in neon lambo green.

I think they will paint them whatever color you want, if you pay then enough...

That won't be a problem for me, since I'll probably never be able to own a 458, but just throw on some HREs or BBS wheels and call it a day. You could also be the one Ferrari owner who knows how to set it free, instead of posing with it like several others do.

Yeah If i had a 458 Ferrari I would probably get it in yellow just to prove a point...............ok, no I'm lying to myself, it would be red

But I WOULD drive the car the way it's designed to be driven, it would be tracked religiously and Ferrari would no me as the "Mr. 24/7 maintenance man", because best believe I'd drive that car until it's wheels fell off...... and then I'd buy the Speciale and do it all over again

I can imagine, i'm sure there are really only two types of Ferrari owners.... posers & petrol Heads. The formers baby the car and keep it in the garage 350 days out the year, the other put 15k on the car a year via tracking, auto cross, highway runs, and just hooning and have the next model on reserve 2 years before it hits production to do it all over again

I wonder how much does your standard oil change cost on a 458, let alone a full on service

My father has a S600, regular maintenance is expensive on it, can't imagine what the Ferrari costs to maintain.

Ferraris only need to be serviced once a year or every 10,000kms (6200miles ) and it costs about 3000 dollars it does include a few other things than a oil change ( usually fixing little things that stupid Italians installed without even re torquing. Now if you got the car after 2012 you get a 7 year service contract which is very very pocket friendly. Our car sadly was a year bellow so it didn't fall into that category but I was lucky enough to attain the car for 40%~ off msrp for a brand new one
