What can really destroy a good car? My pet hate is imitation
Carbon Fibre/Checker Plate/Wood Grain

* Monster tacho's when the car has one stock....

* Those exhaust tips that were light blue and were touted to make the car faster "ex turbo" or sumthing like that

* Extra trailer style $10 lights screwed onto the sheet metal of older cars to supliment the standard ones. Extra bad if the break light reads the word "stop".

* Speaker boxes from a home stero system lying un-attached on the rear parcel tray.

* hmmmm crappy "sponsorship" stickers naming all the brands the car probably doesnt have but the driver wish they had...

Im sure there is many more....

Couldn't really give a crap really. It's not my car

Although aftermarket tachos on crap cars make me laugh :P

LOL I used to have plastic checkerplate floormats. I've seen the light now and gotten rid of them.

+1 vote for milo tin / fart tube exhaust, particularily if it's a 5" tip attached to a 1/2" exhaust!

Oh my god! It's like they've done it as a joke or something!

My pet hate is LED's and lights - absolutely pointless modifications.

That is your classic illustration of bad taste at work. Good find man.

I would be so ashamed to drive that NA in public.

Untasteful mods. For example, altezza style lights on a Lancer look pretty good, but they look horrid on a VS Commodore. Similarly cannon exhausts go pretty well on kitted Jap cars where the kit suits the car, but on a stock Echo or in any way is obtrusive of the lines of the car, then they look yuck. Aussie and Euro styling compliments rectangular, oval or twin exhausts style.

Spinner hubcaps are crap on anything and should be banned (it seems though most cars that have these hubcaps are the 40yo mum who's put them on the shopping cart car)

I can't agree with that. I hate altezza lights full stop. They look shocking on just about any car they're put on. Also I think the same about cannons. They look cheap, and if I had a Skyline, it would never recieve a cannon. I'd go for twin tips or something a bit more subtle

Ruger · 27-01-2007, 01:20 AM

monster tacho's on cars that have a tacho dash,
cannons on shitbox's
altezza lights on anything but the is200/altezza (where it is factory)
standard ride height big wheels look.
the shopping list of decals (i have 1 sticker on my car and its because i got them to make me a custom manifold!)
chev badges on commodores
vn/vp's altogether (they are just a ruined car lol)

I dont mind a cannon on a kitted jap car like mentioned if it suits it awesome if it doesnt dont bother.

Large calibre rear cannons on cars which my bicycle could beat. Lol.

Really, if you had to change the badge on a Rodeo, you'd fit an Isuzu one, because that's what they really are.
