One of our customers approached us about his new 458 that was custom ordered with Grigio Medio paint and a gloss black roof. From the factory it was truly a unique combo that looks even better in person. The customer wanted to add a few personal touches to the car which included DMC carbon fiber mirror replacements, lowered the vehicle with Novitec sport springs and a Capristo exhaust valve controller which we hardwired to stainless steel switches in the glovebox rather than using the wireless remote.

 

How much do the Novitec sport springs run?

 

WOW .. now that is an unique one .. thanks for sharing!!

 

An update on this car since these pics were taken are a custom, color matched emblem and shaved front corner markers.

 

wow. well done!!! like the color combo with a touch of CF

 

The Novitec Sport Springs retail for $1,370. Also as a note the 458 has adjustable coil overs from the factory so the combination of the sport springs and the coil overs allowed us to get the exact ride height the customer desired.

 

The car looks awesome and those wheels really fit the car IMHO.

 

I love that color!

Nicely done.

 

Wow!!! very nice 458. nice upgrades also.

 

its beautiful

 

That color is wicked. I dig it.

 

Thanks for the comments. The car is a blast to drive and draws some serious attention. We will have some further pics once this project continues.

 

Looks like the front reflectors match the paint - looks really good. Are they painted, or did he figure out some other way to change from orange but preserve the function?

I'm trying to figure out what to do on my white 458, and can't find clear lights so am thinking of painting. Has anyone else done that?

 

At the time these photos were taken we just painted over the lenses to match the bumper. The customer and ourselves later agreed that it would look far better if we just shaved them off...which is how it currently stands.

 

This thing is unbelievable. You guys do some great work. I've driven by your shop a few times, I've seen the 1M a couple times now. The car looks just so damn good. Imagine this 458 with the ADV wheels on this one?
