Mods you "****" for dumb reasons

[NELSON09]

The bent plates are a bosozoku thing, generally. Speed/Hoon camera avoidance tactic.

I think it's quite illegal, at least here in Maryland, and I've never actually seen anyone doing it on the street, and yet everyone seems to do it in photo shoots. I sincerely hope idiots aren't bending their license plates up just to take internet pictures, but people have done stranger things.

Aaah, thanks for the insight...kinda reminds me of little poser skater kids that used to get a brand new pair of skate shoes and cut wear marks on the sides/tops so it looked like they'd been skating hard core

I can't stand those pep boys stick on fender vents. Also, cant seem to understand the mangled front plate look that seems to be popular on the east coast.

I absolutely **** when people put super wide tires on stock or narrow wheels for the sake of "performance"

example, wrx owners with 255's on the stocks etc.

[Dave_The_BMXER]

maybe they don't want to block their Intercooler?

I still don't like it, but its more justifiable in that case. Mazda3 (not speed) owners move them all the time though.. for no reason at all.

I despise any sort of stick-on or otherwise nonfunctional scoop, vent, duct, or whatnot.

Particularly those plastic stick-on bits that you buy at autozone that people plaster all over their cars. I can't figure out what the point is, they have to know that it looks like garbage.

Fixies on cars at meets purely for the pose factor


Use it ya c&*(

[aar0n.]

holy piss this. if someone took the time and slammed one and centered the wheel it would look amazing. and only them and a few others would know how much work it was for something subtle like that. which to me makes a car truely unique. i guess its me being raised around hot rods and customs where they would always do little things like that yet no one would know except a few people who knew what they were looking at.

It's the torsion beam suspension, only way to alleviate it is to shift the beam back and MasonTech makes Great Plates which do that but they're engineered like shit and don't work on bagged cars. It's not the hardest thing to work around, but there are problems that arise from shifting the beam back to center it, plus a lot of VW guys like the look.

Mods that I simply don't like eh?

Two immediately come to mind.

-Roof racks on cars where the owner bought the rack just to be trendy, and will likely never attach a bicycle/luggage to it.

-Sticker bombed front lips. First few times I saw it them I didn't mind it and even thought it was somewhat unique. Now, everyone and their mother has done it......and people are even beginning to do it to really classy cars, which IMO takes away from certain cars. It was cool when no one else was doing it. Now it just seems silly/crowd follower.

No offense to anyone at all regarding those two statements. Just throwing in my two cents.

YES, I agree with both, very well said

Oh, and lowered with stock wheels >>>>>>>> stock height with even the most awesome wheels in the world. **** that shit too

I agree completely. But there are those people who are like I want wheels first then drop because being dropped and on stock wheels "looks cheap".

Drop > wheels




....


oh man I haven't looked at this shot for about three years now, makes me sick I did that

[abest521]

The other thing I **** is the way that MK4's rear wheel moves forward in the wheel arch when slammed, don't get me wrong, I love MK4's and would love to own a slammed one but it just looks off when the tire is almost slammed into the front edge of the wheel well and there is like a foot of gap on the back.

1. Wheels but no suspension. Barf.
2. Huge wings on a car that doesn't hit the track. Double barf.
3. Europlates/JDM plates on a NA car. I like euro bumpers and trunks, but the plates. Ugh.
4. Retarded fart cans on any car. Euro, jdm, american, whatever.
