The problem asking, you don't always get what you hope for, but it is your car and if you like it that is all that really matters. I like the air bag and steering wheel bling, but not sure of the inserts on the deck lid.

Compared to any # of what do you think threads? Not too bad, I would have to see the mirror additions to the emblems in person to give you a down. Interior works if you like it

It's your car. Do whatever you want to it. Since you did ask what we think, I think it looks like more chrome stick-on **** that makes this "lifestyle" all the more tacky. I'm not saying they don't exist but I've never seen a ferrari owner do this kind of stuff to their car.

Air bag/steering wheel decals look good. Not too wild about the mirror effect though.
