The Graphic Designer Behind Kuttek Works
Hi everyone, I'm Sam. I'm a graphic designer and founder of Kuttek Works. I grew up around cars and have worked in the automotive industry throughout my life. I developed a love for cars and motorized machines—all types, from off-road trucks and SUVs to tuners, classics to muscle cars and exotics, even boats and watercraft. If it has a motor and goes fast, I am into it.
Why a Ferrari 458 Italia?
So with my vast experience with most cars and a love for everything motorized, why did I choose a 2011 Ferrari 458 Italia? Easy: I love the sound and the feel of the naturally aspirated flat-plane crank V8 engine. Plus, although it's a mid-engine exotic, it is still very roomy on the inside, making it a comfortable and very reliable car.
Cars as Art: Customization as Expression
Cars come as a passion—this is true for a lot of us. Hell, it's why we are here. I always enjoyed modifying and customizing all types of cars. By customizing, we are expressing ourselves and personalizing the car to our personal taste. I think you would all agree it is our form of art, like sculptures.
A Ferrari comes already fast, low, and stylish out of the box, so when it's time to add personal touches, we needed something that can top what Ferrari offered. So, a widebody was the direction we headed with this build.
Six Years Old Every Time
"I love owning and driving this car—seriously, it makes me feel like 6 years old every time I get behind the wheel. It is truly a toy," Sam says. "The Ferrari 458 is one of the last naturally aspirated Ferraris, and they hold their value very well. They are one of the most fun cars to drive and enjoy. It may not be as fast as the newer exotics, but it's definitely one of the funniest and most exciting cars to have."
What Makes It Unique
If asked what makes his car unique and stand out, Sam would have to say it's the special widebody kit and custom suspension with air ride, fully adjustable dampening system and coilovers. And of course, the BIG WANG.
The combination of Liberty Walk Silhouette kit, custom suspension, and that massive wing mounted directly to the chassis creates a presence that's impossible to ignore—even in a world where Ferraris already turn heads.

Who Did the Work?
"All the work on this car was done by me and my team at our shop, from widebody to suspension to every detail on this car," Sam says. From the Liberty Walk installation to the custom air suspension setup to the vinyl wrap—everything was handled in-house at Kuttek Works.
Future Plans
"I think I have this car where I want it to be as far as upgrades. Will be changing the color every so often, but as far as other mods, I am happy where it stands. But you never know!"
The Philosophy: Sculptures on Wheels
For Sam, building cars isn't just about going fast or looking good. It's about expression. "By customizing, we are expressing ourselves and personalizing the car to our personal taste. I think you would all agree it is our form of art, like sculptures."
That philosophy extends beyond this Ferrari to everything Kuttek Works touches. Whether it's off-road trucks, classic muscle cars, or exotic supercars, the approach is the same: take something already great and make it uniquely yours.

Dream Car
"I don't think I have a specific dream car in mind as I love all kinds of cars, but if I had to pick my next dream build, I would say the 6x6 G63 is definitely on my bucket list to build and customize."
Final Thoughts
From graphic design to founding Kuttek Works, Sam Eldam brings the same creative eye to cars that he brings to his design work. His 2011 Ferrari 458 Italia with Liberty Walk Silhouette widebody, Air Lift 3P suspension, custom green wrap, and chassis-mounted wing represents his philosophy perfectly: take something already legendary and make it your own.
"It makes me feel like 6 years old every time I get behind the wheel. It is truly a toy." And with plans to change colors regularly while keeping the performance and stance dialed in, this naturally aspirated flat-plane crank V8 Ferrari will continue evolving while staying true to what makes it special.
Next up? A 6x6 G63. Because if it has a motor and goes fast, Sam is into it.
