Damn, if I can run without a front plate, there should be no reason to put one on an Aventador.

2 of the biggest issues is that they hammered through the firewall to clear the brake switch, & cutting a motor mount because the engine didn't line up correctly and then re-welding it. This supposedly with the frame being restored to within 1mm.

Because of this & probably other modifications they did, Ferrari won't certify the car & there goes a lot of value. What many suggest they should have done is after the frame was straightened, and they had the engine/tranny work done, was to send it back & let the factory restore it. The car would have been certified & there's no way their customer wouldn't be any less happy.

There's also some other small issues such as a broken lamp over the license plate & what not, but they recently put the car for sale at $1.2 million. In reality, the value is around $300-$400K only because it's still a F40. The average market value is around $400-$500,000.

I'm down for the front splitter and the side skirts too! One front splitter came out today, but I didn't like the way it looked. More will be coming-it's just difficult to remain patient.......
