Come come come - its just a car and not a particularly appreciated one either. So much so that not even the Japanese have seen fit to engineer a body kit and a wing for it. Just like there are guys going to stuff small blocks into Hondas or Porsches, there are going to be the same genrethat want flares and spoilers on this boring old Pininfarina shape. All things are possible and I would suggest that given the cost of doing these mods is the same whether you are doing it to a Dodge Hemi or an F-Car, why not look at some of the web sites on Chop Cut Rebuild or one of the Bling Valley shops in CA. They can also do Nickel plated coffee can exhausts and replace the entire trunk with a custom shaped woofer that changes frequency in synch with the transaxle. Subtle but it makes a statement that goes along with the supercharger - which is actually a first. After figuring out how to do that, you should have no problem in engineering a body kit - hey, I know, why not do a Spider conversion?

The Spider thing has been done by Straman. I believe Mike Tyson had one of the three that were done. https://www.carscoops.com/2014/02/one-of-three-ferrari-456-gt/

These are really gentlemen’s cars. All the dealers and independents that I talk to tell me their owners are all in their 60s and 70s. Probably the reason they are not often modified.

Honestly, other than wishing the shifter was a bit shorter, there isn’t anything about my M I’d want to change.

Well, damn, Killer, I resemble that remark!! While my 456M is stock, neither my Cayman S or my E36 M3 are.

well having the lights change is just a personal perference, everyone has their own taste, I personal think it would look quite nice, well I added a supercharger into my car, it has 700 horsepower, i don't want to get rid of it, I justwant to update it to the way I want it to look, besides it has only 10000km on my car, I am even looking for an aftermarket body kit for it too, but seems like is very hard to find..............

Completely off the topic, but I would surely enjoy a private convo with you regarding your username. Those who know, they know.
