Things that make your ride look bad

1. Dull and or mismatched body panels (although Ive been guilty of this on occasion)

2. Neon lights, both underbody and interior

3. Huge spoilers (no offense FlynLow )

4. Torn up interiors (Once again, Im no shining example here)

5. Mismatched rims

6. Painted rims (Saw a kid yesterday with yellow spray painted Irocs )


What do you think? Post your worst here!

(Please lets not let this turn into a flame war, or the Mods will lock it in no time)

95% of all cheap wheels. (good reason to be cheap? )

Scraped up nose ground effects.

Bad tint (cheap/purple, blue, red, bubbling, scratched, etc)

Bad exhaust (crooked, rusted, massive, etc)

Those massive whip antennas

...anyone playing music really loud that's not good quality metal... preferrable black metal and melodic death/black stuffs. \m/

How about pushed out wire wheels w/ curb feelers??

cool tread

let me add

stickers, either on or under the hood, leave them for your tool box.

big *** exhaust pipes, looks r.icey

Decals, leave 2nd gen decals on 2nd gen cars, I always disliked big bird on the hood even when I owned 2nd gens

painted interior, or doing to much. a nice clean stock looking interior is the best!!!!!

REMEMBER this IMHO, do what you will, I know the younger crowd is going to flame me

1) fans mounted on the dashboard b/c you're to cheap to fix the a/c (common here in FL)

2) When you start your car up to show it off to someone and it pours out smoke to the point that they start coughing

3) when you have to crank up the radio to drown out bad struts, squeeky interior parts, holes in exhaust, etc.

4) the whole "monotone" theme - for example- yellow car with all black trim painted yellow, yellow window tint, yellow interior (including all interior panels of course), yellow engine, yellow rims, etc.

5) The "imitation" car phone antenna that goes on your back window, they have them at autozone, anyone seen these????

Cowl hoods that aren't holding anything (like a blower or a fat tunnel ram)
lighted exhaust tips (you've seen these)
Hydraulics-I repeat-Hydraulics
Dirty engine bays-come on, a bottle of engine brite is CHEAP!
And yes, stickers

well, let me think to back when i bought my car...what had to go....

mudflaps, bad tint, missing small interior parts(like the pieces that cover screws), and my all time pet peeve: cracked old weatherstrip.

of course, you wont find any of these on my car anymore (dont look too close, though, or im sure youll find something else! ha)

Let's see:

huge Chevy emblem covering entire back window
Ripped to shreads interior
No muffler
Mud Flaps
Trailer Hitch
Car Bras
"Euro" lights
Neons
Blackouts
Huge hoods
Cheap Monster or multiple spoilers
Multi-colors
Hacked up interiors/engine compartments/etc
Cheap looking aftermarket wheels
BACKSPACING! If you are buying a set of wheels, for the love of the all-mighty learn how backspacing works! Nothing worse than a set of wheels that don't fit under the car
Jacked up rears with monster tires (BARF! where's the trailer?)


That's all I have for now...

I hope i did not miss this one above somewhere.

I really hate when the plastic inserts that go up in the fender and quarter panel are nasty looking. You would be surprised how much those can give you that new/fresh look when they are painted to new again.

Nice wheels covered in brake dust is my all time hate.

White letter tires that are old.

Window louvers.

Bubbling tint.

One headlight up, one down on the Firebirds.

Rusty exhaust pipes.

Windshield banners of any kind. (just my opinion)

Any gay kind of sticker with "aintskeerd" or Calvin pissing on something, "fear this", etc.

Mudflaps.

I hate huge wings on fwd cars, people that buy a random accesory from wal-mart and think their the fastest thing on the planet, and ricers that buy f-body's and make them ****. 2 like that in my area. Its a poor poor site.

O yeah, thought i would post this for everyone's enjoyment...\

chrome everything
gold anything
most light cars with tint
blackouts on anything that's not black
small aftermarket wheels on street car(15x7 dragstars)
skinnies on street car
big wheels small brakes
dirty black cars
cupholders in thirdgens (they didn't come with them for a reason)
anything skinnier than a 7
ridge down the center of cowl on thirdgens (cool on firstgens though)
******s
having a dude sitting shotty and a hottie in the back (unless you're a chick)
brake light tape
tarp windows
duct tape
bad shocks/struts
mismatched tires
wheels disappearing into wells
anything amber (I hate it. I hate it. I HATE IT!!!)
"racing" stripes that don't stop
a little blue oval on a new car

I'm really **** about cars and many of the above things can look good but generally don't in my opinion. No offense to anyone, I know many people will hate how my car will look, but it's my car and yours are yours.

Peace and Love

Things that make your ride look bad,

Fat chicks, not that i have anything against bigger people, but you can gather what im talking about from the pic below
I guess the only + side is more traction? or is that more drag?

I said driving with no Hood cause yesterday I seen a Thirdgen Camaro driving around with what appeared to be an older 2nd gen hood. It kinda looked like it was just placed over top the the engine bay
