Without a doubt, the Liberty Walk Performance Ferrari 458 was one of the most talked about cars from the 2013 SEMA Show. Now, the Japanese are back with another one and this time some other companies got in on the action.
Forgiato Wheels, one of the premier custom wheel specialists in America, had a perfect set of rims to match the widened blue Ferrari. They're called Dieci-C and unlike the ones fitted to Rick Ross' Ferrari, they work well with the car.

Liberty Walk body kits have their roots in the Japanese bosozoku car and motorcycle culture. Liberty Walk president Wataru Kato says he used to race Skylines with widened fenders all night, so it's not surprising this blue Ferrari looks like it belongs to a Yakuza gang boss.

To make the Italian supercar look the way it does, LW cuts the wheel arches and wings in order to accommodate extra-wide 20-inch rims. Then they bolt, yes bolt on, a set of these extensions which instantly gives it a race car look.

It's not just for Ferraris. You can have the same extreme look on a Lamborghini, an M3 or a Nissan GT-R. Like most extreme tuning, it's very polarizing. People are going to either love it or hate it. But reading between the lines of our article, we think you guys know which camp we're in.

Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
