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.

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 )

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.

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.

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

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.

^^^ 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.

I had to google what "curb feelers" were
+1 on tacky chrome shit taped to cars.
Wings definitely make the list.

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.
