DJ Deadmau5 bought himself a Ferrari 458 Italia and had it custom-wrapped with a Nyan Cat theme, including custom badges and floormats.
It is very stupid. But it is his car, so. go for it, I guess.

When Deadmau5 put the car up for sale, he got a no-shit CEASE AND DESIST from Ferrari. THE COMPANY.

Luxury brands like Ferrari pretty much know their image of distinguished exclusivity is their greatest asset, and they straight up KEEP AN EYE on prominent owners and C+D customization they consider beneath the dignity of the car.
YES, REALLY.
YES, REALLY.
