The Liberty Walk widebody kit is something of a fixation for us. Oh sure, it completely transforms supercars into something most people dislike. But having enough money to buy a Ferrari 458 Italia means you can afford to stand out like a sore thumb - stock cars are for Pebble Beach.
This latest project comes from Platinum Group; you know, the same guys who pimped Kanye West's Lamborghini and probably sold most of the Kardashians their G-Wagons. It's one of the few 458 models we've seen in non-metallic grey, which helps the wheels stand out more.
What wheels? Why, these are the work of ADV.1, who provided a set of their track-spec CS Series alloys. They have thin black spokes and a rose gold lip.
Other companies have been involved as well, such as GT Haus and Meisterschaft, who are responsible for the performance exhaust system on the Ferrari V8. We're assured it breathes fire, which is all that a supercar owner can hope for.
As for the Liberty Walk kit itself, we see the usual bits. Besides the flared wheel arches, it includes a massive rear wing that has been bolted through the bumper. Kato Wataru's trademark look comes at a huge price, since you have to cut straight through the body of the car to install the goodies. In that sense, this is a lot like cosmetic surgery.
The typical LW Ferrari costs $30,500 (€29,000), not including delivery. If you add the paint, wheels, exhaust and suspension mods, you're looking at about $100,000 (€94,000) spent on mods. But hey, that's the price you pay for being special.
Editor's note: Notice how we never mentioned Fifty Shades of Grey, like everybody else is doing right now? That's because dudes don't tell other dudes about chick flicks.
