What's the cheesiest mod you've done?

I'm going to have to say my depo side markers.
wish I've gotten the real deal holyfields.
From a far, and in pictures they look like type-s markers, but when you get up close the pattern is no where near the type-s.

So, what is your cheesiest mod?

Funny, that's one of my favorites. I like that they don't look like the Type-S. Any Schmoe can buy a Base TL. Any Schmoe can buy a TL-S with smoked clear sidemarkers. But only us modder-enthusiasts buy aftermarket parts and make our rides unlike a TL that comes from the factory. Sure, there is a lot of cheesy aftermarket stuff, but my , the Depo sidemarkers are unique, yet tasteful.

Anyho, I am contemplating a cheesy mod with the roll of 3M Di-noc I just got. A pillar on the driver side has a ding and it annoys me when I notice it, so I was thinking of covering it up. IMO, the CF would be a little cheesy, but it's more to serve a purpose. And hey, somebody might chime in that they don't think that's cheesy. Don't bother me...whatever floats their boat.

It came out clean, but just felt so empty/naked for some reason. It's growing on me tho. Only been a couple of weeks.

You need the A-Spec kit to make it look "cleaner".

That's why.

Adding a cassette adapter to the car for my iPod use. But it sure works a helluva lot better than the wireless FM transmitter that I got for Christmas a couple years ago (although, that thing has come in quite handy at parties).

Just this...

I'm getting quad kitties next paycheck and I'm adding whistle tips next week.

I liked the debadging and upgrading to type s tails and sides. The only velveeta mod I'm thinking about is painting my center caps. the logo is faded...

Well, I like 'em too, but it's as close to "cheesy" as I've got. Or is it???


I'm selling the dead pedal because it's too cheesy.


Actually, I need 50 paypal bucks.

I've only had my car a month so i havent done a ton yet. Nothing cheesey, but i do feel kind of stupid for buying brand new OEM floormats from Acura. Never spent that kind of money on damn floormats before. If this was 2000 however, id probably be looking for a company that would make Z3 fenders for my car, lol

Good, I'm glad I'm not the only one who feels dumb shopping for car mats... I still can't pull the trigger...
