Ram Air II hoods.
Larger than stock size wheels that are black with big chrome lips.
Ford color paint...makes the car less dependable.
Blacked out tail lights.
Bikini Babe air freshners hanging from rearview mirror.

I'm pretty sure I've seen a third gen all jacked up with mud tires on it before. Unique, but not for me lol

It doesn't take any skill to buy an ugly aftermarket hood, wing or body kit. Let's not confuse skills with good taste. I also don't think that we need to be afraid to say just that.

Yes it certainly takes no skill what so ever to swap in a 4th gen interior into your car and it most definitely does not make your car better the interior that came in the 3rd gens were so ahead of there time that they are more modern than the 4th gen interiors to this date.
and oh dont even begin to mention those lsx or ltx engines?? Whatever it is their called they suck and take no skill either ...

I do not like rear hatch window louvers and exhaust tips that are too long and hang down from bumper, like angled down toward road and not tucked against the rear
Not a fan of 20-24" wheels. I guess some 20's may work, i have 19's and love them but 20 may start to get too big.
Dont like multi color body panels...get your stuff painted already or just strip it and prime it one color
then again i have done this and drove for 6 months before painting. So i hate myself
I dont like decals on windsheilds that say "camaro" or "chevrolet" or "pontiac" etc. we know what it is already
. Same thing with new mustangs with mustang written all over door panels and windshield.
Some hoods i dont like, like that daytona, ram airs on camaros, and overly excessive cowls on cars that dont require them or arent fast to make the look work.
