Besides that it is looking good. Youre on the right track, just try to keep things tastefull and not too obnoxious (i.e. your loudest exhuast ever plan) We have plenty of loud-for-nothing cars already in FL, what we dont have enough of is clean/well put together street cars.

Keep up the good work man, and take what I say for a grain of salt... its your ride, do what makes you happy.

I was just about to post the same thing!

i'm not sure if i would put springs with an unknown brand on. i'd find out what brand it is first before i put it on. maybe someone on here will know if you take a picture of it. ya don't even know how much it's suppose to drop.

jman700 07-15-2007 09:41 PM

Nice Ferrari. I agree, lowering is better, but all mods in good time.

This exhaust mod, waaaayyyy bad idea bro. Fuel tank no likey the hot exhaust. That shield will only do so much. Start throwing flames and you may see a few more.

welll GREAT NEWS GUYS! i went over to a friends house at night and i was behind this girl and she had to go so i had to back out and i couldnt see cause it was almost pitch black and i put two F*****G giant dents in my rear fender and tons of hairline scratches. because he decided it would be cool to have the jumanji forrest in his front yard with a foot wide driveway :( its looks really easy to get out.......but stilll sucks. its too dark right now to take pictures but ill take some tomorrow and post them :wallbash: :anger: :owned:
not a fun night :(

jman700 07-17-2007 09:10 AM

Ouch.....those dents might be poppable though. Doesn't look like there are any creases there might not be as bad as it looks. The scratches on the bumper though.......fresh paint might get the job done.

jman700 07-17-2007 09:50 AM

yea i think they are popable too. and the scratches seem pretty light. ill probably just try to buff them out. :/

He||hammer 07-17-2007 09:51 AM

try and compound those scratches out you might get most of it cleaned up, if not you could always just respray like sasha suggested :)

VASasha 07-17-2007 10:06 AM

Actually, now that I look at it again, that dent just behind your rear door might have a crease. Do you have a better picture of that one?

NgoRX8 07-17-2007 10:49 AM

dang, those are two big dents. the one behind the fuel door looks like it can be popped back. not sure about the one in front.

jman700 07-17-2007 10:56 AM

im pretty sure the front one will come out too...its like right where the fender ends but i think it should pop out fine if not ill get a dent doctor to finish up whats left messed up...im just glad i turned the other way a little bit so instead of having a hugeeeee dent across my whole car i just have to. semi huge ones lol. i think i need to buy a good luck charm or somethin

After looking at the first pictures , I thought clear corner were needed but now it seems you have a bigger fish to fry with does dents.

Good luck..........

VASasha 07-17-2007 03:58 PM

Yeah you can pop it, no crease. You got lucky.

kennychopra17 07-25-2007 10:43 AM

Sorry about your luck with the dents.

I'm indifferent about your color scheme as well as the wheels, etc.

Keep working on it and do what makes you happy. Thats what its all about. You don't have anyone else to impress but yourself.

Your pops is ferrari on the other hand is dope. You should trade cars with him :)
