The guy enhanced a car (which im assuming he owns in full) to best suit his needs. I see no issue.
Under that same logic should Dodge sue people who made their vans into a handicap accessable vehicle?

They are thinking along the lines of an artist who sells his work to a museum only to have it cut in half and filled with nine and a half feet of somebody elses art that kinda matches. And they arent wanting money, but the removal of the badges (aka signature).
I don't side with ferrari, but I can definitely see where they are coming from.

Art?
Ferrari is in it for the money, nothing else.
And the doctrine of first sale says that once I buy it, it's mine. If I want to put other art in or if I want to chop my Ferrari, it's mine to do.
You do realize that there is a form of art called collage that is made up of other people's stuff (including art), don't you?

It's not bad enough that the button marked "Reply" really means "add a new comment that's not going to be related to the one where you clicked "Reply", but when you click the bloody timestamp on a comment it occasionally puts your response on a completely different comment with a matching timestamp. Idiotic.
Posted as a reply to Kattleox, but appearing as a non-sequitur reply to a post on the 2nd page of responses: I understand your thinking here, but the more appropriate situation is someone taking a PRINT of some artistic work and modifying it. Your example would apply to the original artwork, or to some handmade custom one-off vehicle that Ferrari produced, not to a series-built 360 Modena.
