Liberty Walk Ferrari 458 Italia with Novitec Exhaust Isn't As Crazy As It Seems

Sure, such a Prancing Horse might just make Enzo roll in his grave, but, truth be told, such custom incarnations of the now-retired V8 Fezza aren't as special as they used to be one or two years ago.

You see, it's all a bit like the let's-grow-a-beard trend that has dominated men's faces over the last few years - the first who do it might be weird, with some extra people jumping the bandwagon making the whole deal look cool. However, as more and more guys follow the trend, this slowly but steadily becomes a normal one, so its followers are no longer special.

Translated into 458 language, strapping a Liberty Walk widebody kit to your Italia has almost become the norm for owners who want to stand out these days. And the same goes for custom exhaust hardware, such as the Novitec goodies we can see here.

Nowadays, if you want to stay ahead of the other you'll have to come up with an insane wrap and maybe go for yellow headlights that remind the world of the 458 racecar - here's a street car that serves as an example.

Don't get us wrong, installing a Liberty Walk kit is no easy task. For one thing, you'll have to cut into the fenders of your precious Ferrari in order to add those custom elements.

And it's interesting to observe how different the... afterlives of the 458 and the Gallardo are. While the Ferrari follows the path mentioned above, if we had to name a pattern for the Lamborghini, we'd probably talk about all those twin-turbo examples that pack anywhere between 800 and 1,500 hp and come with stock, or near-stock exteriors.

However, make sure you check out the all-custom 458 Italia discussed here in the video below.
