EA & Ferrari has some sort of falling out due to Ferrari's strict rules on how their cars will be portrayed on the digital medium so much so that they are willing to let go of licensing money from EA. None of the Fezzas have customization option in this game, neither in NFS NL. Hell, they were completely dropped from NFS PAyback.

Ferrari has however no qualms with players in Forza, GT Sport or PC2 go on with customizations. I believe it has more to do with how their cars are being portrayed by EA rather than anything else. They don't want their vehicles to be used as a tool for running away from cops, smashing through barriers, leaping through freeway ramps etc. apart from outrageous (as per Ferrari) visual mods that EA allows in its games. Sim racing players have nothing illegal to portray in game (except breaking rules of conduct) & visual mods in those games are not as extravagant.
