Default Custom 599

Saw this car on another site and thought I would share. I'm a Ferrari fan so bear with me. I admire any pic I see of a modded Ferrari. What do you all think?

Not a big fan of the looks of the 599, but the black Hamann version looks pretty good

I like the 599 but the Hamaan kit definitely makes this car hot.

Hamaan did a great job giving the 599 the proper look. Aggressive, stylish, and undeniably over-the-top; which is what a true Ferrari should look like...

hamaan definitely made the car looks better in my eyes, but still, the 599 just doesn't look right to me at all

Front half of that black one reminds me of a C6 Vette.

I'm in favor of dropping anything on wheels myself but do you see the ground clearance with stock height? Not much is there. If you're more a performance driver, you don't want the car scraping the ground on hairy manuevers.

BTW, either myself or someone else....or both has previously posted a thread of the Hamann 599. This thread wasn't to compare 599's. I just wanted to post another modded 599. So many Ferrari guys are stuck up, looking down on anyone who would alter such a car. When I see one modded, I like to explore it more.
Later today, I'll post the specs of the car. I don't mind if someone does someresearch and does it for me since I'll be busy most of the day. Check back later.

I love the 599GTB modded or in stock trim, IMO it's just a beautiful car.

The Hamann in black looks freakin' wicked but if it were any other color, I don't think it would look that well. In a lighter colored car the bottom parts of the Hamann kit would be much more noticeable.


I'd rather have it in stock trim and add my own wheels

Ferraris used to be beautiful......the 599 is striking but seems so big and there is too much going on.
