Lol. I think chrome vents should have made the list

ttribe

+1 Didn't even think about that...perhaps we should expand the list to a Top 10.

6 - Chrome Vents.
7 - Spinners.
8 - ?
9 - ?
10 - ?

I think people putting LED's EVERYWHERE should be on the list...

Chrome windshield wipers, Altezza tails, black out tails

Don't forget blacked out headlights.

I have no issue with LED's everywhere so long as they are still functional.

Swapping LED's into turn signals and allowing them to blink fast, or not at all is
Putting LED's into brake lamps because you think it's cool but not realizing that you can barely see them is (same goes for reverse lights.
Addition of LED strips that are tacky...

I think Synth's LED taillights on his NSX are the perfect example of the tasteful addition of LED's.

fake carbon fiber

edit: also matte black plasti-dip wheels/hood/roof/trunk

That's kinda what I did to my car. I specifically won't do LEDs in turn signals because I don't want hyper blinkers and I don't want to see how the LED bulb looks. However, I did put them in my headlights' "city lights", white behind clear side markers, all interior, license plate, and instead of getting just LED bulbs for my taillights, they sell actual taillight assemblies with LED boards and they look great compared to my stock ones. On the other hand of this, my friend put an LED underglow strip on his car and a friend's and they turned his Scion tC (I told him not to do it if he gets a BRZ this week) and the friend's Integra pretty ricey. The Scion also got a treatment of 3M-backed Carbon Fiber on his A-pillars where it's normally just a black covering, and the inside of the front emblem has it too.

Do aftermarket HIDs count on the list? Cus then I'm guilty of that
(But I'm changing out my 6000k to 5000k with bulbs I just ordered so all my car will have is pure white inside and out )

Myxomatosis

I agree with everything on this page, that doesn't happen much.

I want to emphasize how much I hate the chrome plastic crap, people do it to decent cars too, wtf.

speedemon90

wtf something like this exists????

Loud exhausts on a car that can barely move, is a big one for me.

i'd agree with you on the matte black plasti-dip wheels. if you are going to do it, at least put some clear on them so it isn't as obvious...

Chrome anything.

That^ haha

I don't understand why the author had his panties in a wad over #2. Sounds fine to me.

HIDs in halogen housings should be damn illegal.

I disagree, some use of chrome can be tasteful on some cars. In my opinion, anyways.

03silvertypeS

How about adding the stick on hood scoops to the list?

I had LED's in the rear indicators on my Integra and they worked great. To get them to blink at the proper rate, I swapped out the OEM relay for an electronic relay. And I tried different bulbs until I settled on a high power LED bulb that lit up the entire indicator housing just like the standard bulbs did. LED's in turn signals can be had if done properly.

afici0nad0

altezza lights
'type r' stickers
mirror tint
etc...

Black Tire

Can't believe Truck Nuts made it on this list.

Moog-Type-S

Any thing on the rear window of the car that says:
"In Loving Memory of....."

SwervinCL

Neons
Buick chrome vents that aren't on a Buick
Oversized rims on POS cars (donks)
Shopping cart wings (Saw one on a BRZ this weekend that was easily 18" off the trunk lid, while the rest of the car was bone stock)
Emblems on cars that don't belong (GTR on a Mustang, or Ford F150 for that matter (seen em both))

Those are all that jump out at me right now.

There are Mexicans in SoCal; no?



Apparently they are in Ontario too! ^


What about the dildo shifters?

^^^ That is going to be in the next Michael Bay Transformers movie. Or maybe it was already in one of the first three, I don't remember. When you've seen one , you've seen them all.

MaxMike93

My friend put LED blinkers in his Scion and they looked great. What I meant about how they looked is seeing the physical bulb. On my rear ones, you can clearly see the bulb in the housing. So I put in chrome bulbs to avoid the amber bulbs ruining the clean look and seeing a bulb with LEDs all around it; just my preference

How about almost every accessory in the JC Whitney catalog?

SwervinCL

That's awesome! Where do I get one?

Mr Marco

^it's from 2005. Link no longer works.

Wings definitely make the list.

I wasn't logged in and pressed play on the video under the link and it took a solid 20 seconds for me to realize it was just an ad.

I think they need to be stricter on this one

Oh.. One thing I just remembered.. WTF is up with putting a speaker in your grill? I have personally seen this twice on two "donk" style cars.. A fucking 6x9 plastered right in the middle of the grill.

ttribe

Oh my...haven't seen that one yet.

CCColtsicehockey

That is one thing I have not witnessed yet.

in houston; it was popular to put "marine" speakers on the outside of your car.
so that all of your homies could jam with you.

can any one guess the race?
