I really like that picture so in the spirit of the holidays, I thought I would make it look like a nice holiday card cover with this Photoshop effect.





I also did this one just for fun.



Thanks for the great picture. It is one of my favorites so far.

No offense but the car looks 100X better without the ferrari logo on there - you wouldn't put a dodge logo on your Mazda, or a Ford logo on it would you? Personally if a car has badges on it then it should be the badges of the manufacturer and thats it. Putting Ferrari logos on your car makes you look like a wanna-be and I think degrades your car and sends the wrong perception to people that you aren't proud of your Mazda and wish it were a Ferrari manufactured car with the same body features etc.


I saw a VTEC sticker on a Mitsubishi Eclipse Spyder once and I liken this to that kinda of de-flowering - I laughed so hard at the jackass in the eclipse it wasn't even funny!


Just my opinion - by the way that night shot looks awesome - just Photochop out the ferrari logos please!!

i see the night pic went over pretty well. I'm going to try to take some more night pics and see how they come out, it's tricky but when they work it's nice.

I have to agree with Ike.

This is tasteless and shameless. I hope you remove them soon and may god have mercy on your soul.

BTW I know this is a very ugly post but I was hoping all of us would be against this type of thing. We dont drive civics or echos with racing flames down the side. An alternative may be to put them under your hood maybe with every part you mod on your car you can put a sticker on your car and show your pride that way.

You will get worse responses from others on the streets. Hell people may even key your car and call you a jackass for it. Resist the urge please!!

haha, ok they are m a g n e t s and as such i can't leave them on even if i wanted to since anybody walking by could just take them off. I never intended this to be a permanent modification to the car, i just thought it looked ok and i was asking for opinions.

I think you got a little more than you bargained for here Horde
Now lets give the guy a break. I think we've made our point, and yes that is a great photo you managed.

hOrde: Consider this. You were able to state your case for adding the Scuderia badges to anyone who took the time to read your opening thread, and you still got a majority of negative responses.

I understand that you're trying to pay homage to Ferrari on a car (the 8) that you're proud of. But nobody who sees the car will ever get your point. And IMO, you wind up doing a disservice to both marques (and yourself) as a result.

For the record, I'm a fan and owner of both marques myself but try to keep the demonstration of my two passions completely separate.

identity crisis if you ask me...so you like Ferraris? so does everyone else, go buy one...putting a Ferrari badge on a car less than a Ferrari is sacriligious...putting a badge on a car it's not even intended for is just plain faking it and is the VERY definition of RICE...VERY poor taste, IMO...

too bad they're only magnets because those badges may add so much mental horsepower (MHP), they're likely to fly right off! (j/k)
