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.

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.

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.

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?

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
