Yellow and black is a common paint combination. Even though it's usually seen on Camaros and Corvettes, there's no bad connection between this Ferrari and Bumblebee. Instead, the problem with this 458 is that it's just ugly and resembles that Enzo race car that man drove into a lake.
Anyway, this body kit is old, so old that people will run up to you on the street and say "you should have bought the 488 GTB instead." The company that makes it is called Prior Design, and they usually keep things classy in the paint department, knowing the styling is over the top.

The last Ferrari they did was white with candy red wheels. But this project doesn't belong to them; it's been put together by Creative Bespoke of Scottsdale. Maybe the Arizona sun was a little too bright that day because spending this much money on a project only to have it come out this way is not normal.

Why go crazy? We think it's because of the SEMA Show, where the only goal you must have is to stand out. Creative Bespoke also put together that Liberty Walk McLaren 650S, so I think it's a case of "job well done."

Like the previous widebody kit for the 458 supercar, this one comprises of 13 individual peaches. Adding width and drawing attention to the fenders is the big target, but the didn't forget to completely change the front end either. If Enzo could see this yellow monstrosity built for the Justin Biebers of the world, he would be turning in his grave.

The CB team also equipped the fabulous Ferrari with a set of Forgiato Fratello-ECL wheels. The custom set of shoes were painted to match the 458’s yellow and black color combination and wrapped in Pirelli tires.

As you can see, the Prior kit also includes a bespoke rear skirt that emphasizes the exhaust pipes. It would thus have been a shame not to have custom mufflers, which came courtesy of Jin Performance. After discovering the 458 Italia project, we also found a Spider twin sister and added her photos to the gallery. We know you won't mind!

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.
