The Ferrari California looks like an overpriced Maserati.

I did, along with a few others. Make sure to follow the rules:

Don't:

* Quote multiple pictures from the same post in your reply. Either remove the image tag from the pictures so they post as links or only quote "1" picture from the original post. People, it's not that hard!

What size tire are you running in the front, and what camber? I'm running a 18x10 +18 all around and with a 255/35 tire I'm rubbing the front frame rail on full lock. Just curious if you have the same issue.

I love the bumper but it looks weird on your car because you don't have the right fenders/side skirts to go with it. The car looks super wide in the front, but then just behind the wheels you have FEED fenders instead of the RE-Amemiya fenders to match the bumper, so the car looks super skinny.

Your headlights seem to be aiming at the ground...do they even light the road at night? I understand you want the sleepy-eye look, but you should adjust the lamp mounting brackets so the lights themselves still aim straight. As of right now, you've ruined your nighttime lighting in favor of style choice.

Also your AeroCatch latches are installed wrong, for 2 reasons:

#1 the wider end of the latch is supposed to go toward the back of the car. Obviously you can't do that with the location where you have the pins, so in that case the latches are supposed to be sideways or angled. This is how they are supposed to be aligned:



#2 you have the "flush" style (model #125) that are supposed to mount on the underside of the hood, but you have them mounted on top of the hood. For the kind that mounts on top of the hood, you want model #120.

See the difference:
