There's a guy in Austin, TX who made a big hit with a software startup business recently. He's pretty young and bought a Ferrari F-40.

So what's the ultimate mod you ask? He had the whole car gold-plated! And, no - I don't have any pics or know the name of the company, but that one's just gotta take the cake for just about anything...

Where does this guy live? I don't mind scraping off some of that gold!

 

of course the weight of the gold on the F40 would make it perform like a ford focus

DUMBASS, maybe he likes it, different taste I'd say. Ferraris... red or yellow...

Refer to Rice's comment up above...

 

Actually it's not a bad idea to gold-plate the engine bay. The Engine bay of McLeran F1 is covered with gold.

 

I bet it is that diameter all the way forward, too

What is that, a road kill grill?

Looks more like he ran over a trash can
