Office-K Pushes The Definition of Tacky

Some supercar owners find that their expensive cars don’t quite stand out at the select clubs they visit. What’s the point of having a red Ferrari 458 if everyone else has one?

This is where tuners can help: in exchange for a briefcase full of your hard-earned money, they can radically transform the look of your Italian thoroughbred to make it completely unique. The extent of the modifications range from a simple set of wheels to an all-new body. The Japanese are very prominent in this industry (just look at Liberty Walk for a good example).

Chrome or golden cars are popular among certain circles, but Office-K, a small Japanese shop, just pushed the limit even further. They took a Ferrari 458 Italia and covered it in glittery golden vinyl, which looks like it should have been used on a circus’ rollercoaster.

To make sure the car would be truly unique, the brand also added a huge shark's grin to the front, and finished it off with a set of bronze Forgiato wheels.

Regardless of your opinion of the look, it’s certain that this car won’t go unnoticed. Since it’s a vinyl wrap, the car will probably be reverted to stock before being sold, but for now, I tip my hat to the car’s owner, who must have a lot of nerve to drive this car on the street.
