If you clear coated it afterwards that would actually kind of be cool. Or even if you didn't and let it rust up a bit and then clear coated it.

They're terrible chromed/polished though...

Should've been clearer. I understand the reference, but they do not suit the 458 in any way. Especially with the horrible chrome / polish - and the fact that they're rip-offs, not centre-attach Ferrari mags.

I'm glad they don't do dealer tags like that on the West Coast. Just plate frames.
Another thing that didn't seem to catch on here: the gold lettering of the late 90s.

A dealership once slapped a decal on the back of a car that I had brought to them for a service - a car that had fully custom paint and a lot of bodywork, that I hadn't bought from them.

Yes, I was an idiot for taking a car I cared about to a dealership for service. It was satisfying when they paid for my bodyshop to repaint the trunklid from metal, though.

What the gently caress? How fast did you lose your cool when you saw that decal?

I peaked my poo poo-losing about 10 minutes after seeing it - when a mechanic came out with an Olfa knife to remove it.

Seat Safety Switch posted:

Man I lost my poo poo when an independent I went to for service put a license plate frame on without asking me. I think I'd be boiling the service manager alive with an O/A torch if he'd done that.

The service manager was unrepentant. Had to work with the owner, who insisted that I let their body guys try to fix it first. Two weeks and terrible swirls visible from loving space ("you guys seriously power polished it? I told you the clear is three weeks old.") later, he relented and told my shop to do whatever they needed to and they'd pay. So yeah, new paint for the trunklid.

Ahh, back in the stupid kid days, when blowing $10k on paint seemed like a "good investment". Sold that car for $7,500, of course.

I don't know if deadly is the right term for it, after changing my car from mild understeer to mild oversteer it saved my rear end when I overcooked a turn while racing. If the front end had washed out instead of drifting I would have crashed.

IOwnCalculus posted:

Yep. This is why most cars have suspension tuning that trends heavily towards understeer. To most people, massive understeer feels normal, neutral to mild understeer feels sporty, and anything that actually trends to oversteer is deadly.

Unsafe at any Speed is the source of all evil.

I kind of want to own a turbo Corvair just for that reason.
