the question was about mods not factory

[xquizd]

Yeah so whats wrong with buying say an ED fairmont & then buying the genuine front CLEAR indicators & replacing the crappy amber ones???????????????

Does that look tacky : It looks tasteful

the same as taking genuine gt stripes and putting them on an ex-taxi

the owner probably thinks it looks awesome but its tacky

[WindsorXR]

I'd have to agree with the above statement. Thats why i havn't changed mine over on the XR6

[Fev]

Frangipani stickers... or a cannon on an aussie car

and im lucky, my car came standard with clear indicators.. woot

[apolloxbgt]

Pop up sunroof.

[FGII-XR6]

Worst mods? Anything that doesn’t make a car pull quicker lap times.

Other than a few resprays (& rust repairs) the only things that I’ve done or had done to any of my previous cars were to make them go faster on a track. Some of the changes made the car harder to live with on the road.

I’m not interested in having the best looking or the most different looking car, I just want to be quicker than the average bear going around corners.

Any modification that is purely for aesthetics is a waste of time IMO.

(Can’t wait until I get fully adjustable suspension on the race car. Mmmmm The potential for different camber on each wheel to suit specific circuits!!!)

read the rest of the thread

GTs come with stripes. they are not rice

putting those stripes on a povo pack = rice

substitute stripes for clear indicators on cars that never had them from factory and you may understand

[blueoval]

neons to me are the worst mod of all time.
the shopping list on the side of the doors.
any, non factory rear wing
cannons on full size family cars with no other mods other than that.

Altezza's can look quite good complimenting other tasteful mods like wheels, tint and lowering. Altezza's fitted to a car with NO other mods, not even wheels, looks povo.

Seeing monaro tailights on stock holden VT calais's annoy me the most. Looks sh!t and try hard.

[Ives]

- Clear tail-lights
- Badly setup exhausts... I mean BADLY
- Chrommies
- Outlandish bodykits
- Flower stickers
- HSV/FPV stickers on non HSV/FPV cars... you dont have to tell everyone that you want an FPV or HSV but cant afford it.

[DBourne]

out of the options you gave, cannon hands down.

there is NO excuse for it.

even altezza's the driver might be blind or have a brain fart and think they look good, but no one who has the mental capacity to drive should find a cannon a good idea

[FGII-XR6]

so when we talk a sreies 2 compared to a series 3 and the amber ones fade as they always do you must replace them with the amber instead of clear the cars look just about the same except the indicators and the skirts and clear lights are rice ???????? this is not hi series / lo series just a different build date you wayne kerrs who cry rice when some one makes an often subtle change you dont like make me sick . it is simple to those with inteligence if you don't like it don't do it if others like it it is their car you " rice " idiots are getting out of hand

i chose other for the main fact that the exaust has to be either no point or being a cannon if in fact it actually is helping the car ie a catback exaust i don't mind even on ricers, but that may be because i have a ricer with this myself.

i hate the cannons that serve no purpose but to supposedly "sound cool" on 4 cylinders and ricers.

My friend's pulsar has got a cannon and it sounds awesome. 13.82sec ET personal best... not bad.

you seem pretty upset about this.

when i see a car with parts on it from a different model i think it looks tacky. many owners obviously disagree with me but i can get over it

Clear Indicators on EB/ED's are very tasteful - Rice...No way - Amber Indicators look horrible . Funny enough i still have them but clear indicators neaten the front up immensely

$100 on you not know jack crap what came factory on what car. His is an XR, and if he uses XR clear indicators, even though they are from a car, just one year older, it makes it rice, as it wasnt for his car?
You sir are an idiot.
Thats like saying GT's can have GT stripes, but only the same sets that correspond with the respective year model of the car in question. Wake up and smell that FRANGEPPANIS are the worst.

[Fev]

definately frangipanis whether they are pink or yellow it doesnt matter!

yes but did he actually have an exaust or just a cannon installed on the stock exaust?
