Actually, I really like it. Wouldn't do it to my ride, but I like looking at these matte black cars.

One thing though: You need to do the rims as well. Looks unfinished without them.

...uh, I wasn't exactly serious. Perhaps if I had said "nah, make the rims pink and that would make it perfect".

Don't customization shops inform their customers that they are making a pretty horrible decision? I mean, this person is going to be ridiculed on the road and they'll say they got it done by your shop or by your work.

I would think that even doing such a customization and agreeing to it reflects equally poorly on the customizer and customer. No?

Okay... now I got it.

I didn't see the pink colored grill and star etc., but intuitively thought that car's front was lit by a colored light. That's why I actually didn't understand all the hate you guys are spitting. But now that I saw the pink bits, I wanted to correct my comment to...:

you can offer your own opinion when the customer requests certain things, but it's the customer's decision what they want you to do. trust me, when people see this car, they are not going to ask who did the work. they are only going to ask "why"
didn't Paris Hilton get a pink ferrari? did Ferrari loose credibility or Paris Hilton? the answer is neither. you expected that kind of behavior from Paris and you praise Ferrari for a good paint job. if the paint didn't come out well and started flaking off in a couple of months, then that does reflect on Ferrari.

people do things for a reason. i'm sure the owner of this car did it for some reason as well. maybe it's a joke/prank. who knows. not my cup of tea for sure.

from the pic, i think op did pretty good with the wrapping.

The black matte looks good but the pink part is a disappointment.

I hope its a wrap. There was a 2011 on ebay a few months ago that was painted flat black with pink trim. Whatever floats your boat.
