458 with a body kit, what will it take to make it stock again?

You probably ought to be looking at other similar non-mod'ed 458's, as I doubt there is any market for a used body kit, and you will be introducing a whole lot of trouble and expense to remove & repair and/or replace all of the missing parts and painting them. Seems like a lot to go through for 1 particular car when there are probably multiple similar ones available with less drama. That is of course, unless you want to keep the car the same and you like it as it is, but judging by your post, you do not want the body kit. FWIW, IMHO. Good luck with finding what you want.

I agree with Lyle below, too much drama to get it back to stock for me. However, that's one of the more tasteful body kits in my opinion. I don't care for the silly front hood air vents, but other than that, looks ok. Of course, body kits, even tasteful ones, are often are hard no for most buyers.

 

That car looks awesome.

 

well, How bout dat....I actually have to agree... first and only body kit I've ever seen on n exotic that does look good. This is quite the improvement on the bland 458 design. jeez, I must be getting delerious.

 

I want to hate it but I don't

 

Front looks like vorsteiner kit. The rest looks near OEM. Recommend either buy it and leave it on or find another car.

 

whatever you choose to do, make sure you don't put the stock catfish front bumper back on!

 

Go to a Ferrari bodyshop in your area as they would give you an estimate in detail as to the most likely costs involved. Paint, structure, useful parts remaining. Many Ferrari bodyshops sub their paint & bodywork out to independents. Make sure you check car fax etc to see if the car had extensive collision damage etc. As many have already advised you , walk and find another intact car. The 458 is a beautiful car. Buy one that is intact!

 

Leave it as it is ( well remove that rear spoiler ) or look for another 458
