Automotive Styling Pet Peeves

[bluntman]

OK, I\'m pretty sure most of us are against the use of over-the-top spoilers on most cars, but what else drives you nuts?

Personally, I don\'t understand why people would hang a CD from their rear view mirror.

[FLIPDADY]

Lighted washer nozzles.

[Pimpin_29y]

Canadian Tire wheel spinners :p

Un-painted body kits are pretty high on my list.

[bluntman]

I forgot to mention, a set of aftermarket rims on the rear and stock rims on the front, NASCAR stickers and these...

I really can\'t stand those crazy loud exhausts too. I\'m fine with aftermarket exhausts, but not when they sound like a bunch of angry bees trapped in a can :sarc

[Cardinal Fang]

Right then…

Before I start I want to issue and apology for those that may be insulted by what I’m about to post. I’m sorry. I’m so sorry God never bestowed on you any sense of taste and style. There….that felt better.

I’m not sure what to make of this because I honestly don’t consider it automotive styling but the fact of the matter is I’ve only ever seen it in cars. Would someone kindly explain to me what the fascination is to cover either the entire front dashboard with furry little caricatures or dolls. There isn’t a day that goes by that I don’t see a car in Markham done up this way. I wish I could say it was limited to the really “cheap” cars but I’ve seen BMW’s and one Mercedes Benz SL 500 done up this way.

Someone help me out here. WTF?

Okay, thought of three more:

1) Lambo door conversions
2) Illuminated pedals
3) Putting \'Type R\' stickers/badges on your car when you don\'t have a Type R. Also pertains to /////M badging, AMG, TRD, STi, Mazdaspeed, etc.

I\'m interested in motorsports so about 99% of the mods you see on the street \"annoy\" me because they do nothing for performance.

But by far the most annoying is fart can mufflers on shit little cars that the owners somehow think give them horse power and/or they think sounds cool but in reality just sounds FN retarded.

[skunk2]

headlight and taillight covers.
i dont get it. lets black out the headlights so we can see less.

don\'t like the two tone tints as well.

[cyberscorpi0]

Or snow white and the seven dwarfs :sarc

[Kevin@nextmod]

Those Altezza tail lights on other cars. I just hate them.

[Caz]

I hate any car that features any type of mod done to it (example:exhaust, rims, body kit, chrome work) while the car has exposed rust.

Help me understand!

Whats with the Subaru pig snout facial treatment for 2006 WRXs and Imprezzas?

[wtom]

Normally those furry dolls are due to mostly girl drivers/owners. Sometimes it\'s due to the gf/wife. Myself sort of an example. My gf has small dolls of the name McDull hanging on the four headliner handles minus driver\'s side, in my car. :D

Female marking her territory?

+1

Moreso when the mofo drivers rev it up (aka speeding) in the residential streets. A-holes.

[mEtH]

I can\'t stand the 3 spoked wheels, AWFUL!!

By far the worst is listing mods in signatures on msg boards...really sad when 99% of your posts are shorter then your sig.

No. More of a skirt-wearing, spineless, hen-pecked boyfriend if you ask me.

Any person who lets the s/o dictate his ride needs to visit the local vet for a neutering.

i can see the sarcasm dripping in this post...cause it\'s coming from a guy who had to buy an automatic miata cause his wife can\'t drive stick, then had to sell his 5spd mazda3 cause his wife couldn\'t drive stick, and is now flossing an automatic BMW because your wife can\'t drive stick. :p

if anything, you\'re first in line at the vet. :hoho

LOL, I was waiting for that. And even though I was waiting for that, I have NO response. Cuz it\'s all true! :D

Two kids are enough for us. Just got the snippy snippy last Friday!!! So technically, I am true to my words of wisdom.

I knew it!

There\'s been a significant change in your posting style since you were neutered. For a while there I couldn’t put my finger on it but I’m sure the doctor did.

A very unpleasant experience I must say. And the needle was a local anaesthetic.

I would not wish the pain and discomfort onto anyone. Even my enemies. Except maybe for broli. And maybe Fang. And The Prof too. Fack, better add majic and MBN to the list.

[mEtH]

But the pain for two weeks, brings joy for well as long as you can :p
