Most annoying/fully sik aftermarket accessory

What can really destroy a good car? My pet hate is imitation
Carbon Fibre/Checker Plate/Wood Grain

Yellow_Festiva · 27-01-2007, 01:20 AM

* Monster tacho's when the car has one stock....

* Those exhaust tips that were light blue and were touted to make the car faster "ex turbo" or sumthing like that

* Extra trailer style $10 lights screwed onto the sheet metal of older cars to supliment the standard ones. Extra bad if the break light reads the word "stop".

* Speaker boxes from a home stero system lying un-attached on the rear parcel tray.

* hmmmm crappy "sponsorship" stickers naming all the brands the car probably doesnt have but the driver wish they had...

Im sure there is many more....

Couldn't really give a crap really. It's not my car

:

Although aftermarket tachos on crap cars make me laugh :P

Dezza · 27-01-2007, 01:38 AM

LOL I used to have plastic checkerplate floormats. I've seen the light now and gotten rid of them.

+1 vote for milo tin / fart tube exhaust, particularily if it's a 5" tip attached to a 1/2" exhaust!

Untasteful mods. For example, altezza style lights on a Lancer look pretty good, but they look horrid on a VS Commodore. Similarly cannon exhausts go pretty well on kitted Jap cars where the kit suits the car, but on a stock Echo or in any way is obtrusive of the lines of the car, then they look yuck. Aussie and Euro styling compliments rectangular, oval or twin exhausts style.

Spinner hubcaps are crap on anything and should be banned (it seems though most cars that have these hubcaps are the 40yo mum who's put them on the shopping cart car)

Ruger · 27-01-2007, 02:20 AM

monster tacho's on cars that have a tacho dash,
cannons on shitbox's
altezza lights on anything but the is200/altezza (where it is factory)
standard ride height big wheels look.
the shopping list of decals (i have 1 sticker on my car and its because i got them to make me a custom manifold!)
chev badges on commodores
vn/vp's altogether (they are just a ruined car lol)

I dont mind a cannon on a kitted jap car like mentioned if it suits it awesome if it doesnt dont bother.

alesia · 27-01-2007, 02:56 AM

monster tachos on stock auto cars , and the owners that suffer from diahorrea of the mouth :P

feebs · 27-01-2007, 03:35 AM

Badges

Theres a Lumina - HSV- Chevrolet- SS in Perth on a VX, if you believe the badging that is.

Large calibre rear cannons on cars which my bicycle could beat. Lol.

Miller · 27-01-2007, 07:20 AM

Worst I have seen is a monster tacho and shift light.......on an auto.

Edit: Well not the worst, but it's up there.

There's no option for -

1 or 2 parts of an unpainted body kit that they can't afford to paint or buy the rest of...

we got alota those around here, usualy mated with massive unnecessary tacho and bastardly ugly rear wings

Yaw · 27-01-2007, 09:37 AM

Large spoilers on front wheel drive cars, one I can think of was a hyudai excel with ricer spoiler, spinning hubcaps and a cannon. What was that guy thinking?

ahahahhahhah luv it

Thats fooooly heKTic bRo'!!!

And yes the 10,000 rpm monster tacho's on cars that only really hit powerband at 1500 rpm make me laugh

Racecraft · 27-01-2007, 09:41 AM

Fluffy Dice are cool... take them off the list asap..

My favourite rice mod, undersized and poorly chosen alloy wheels, especially on cars that are factory ride height...so gay!

andrewts · 27-01-2007, 10:29 AM

I hate cars that are lowered beyond practicality. Monster tachos on cars that don't need them, Shiny wheels, wheels that are too big, spoilers that could contain tsunamis or obstruct rear vision, Cannon exhausts, stick-on woodgrain and carbon fibre, bulbus or wide body kits, ricers who 50km/h in 1st gear @ 6000rpm at 11pm so we can all hear his fart cannon exhaust, etc...

But I love fluffy dice and air horns. What did you put them on that list for?

sad thing is, the tach and rear wing would probably cost them around the same as it would to paint their bodykit pieces, and ahve a decent looking car..

some have no clue

M14A-Mclaren · 27-01-2007, 10:38 AM

Do you get people mounting their number plates on a angle in Australia?

yes.......even to the point where they take the car to a panelshop and have them make an angled recess in the tail gate of said car.....
"professional" angled numberplates LOL

Worst thing in my opinion, are the really badly produced and color matched fibreglass body kits for VY/VZ Clubsport's glued onto a VP/VN commodore.

Now that's FULLY sik!

sfr rob · 27-01-2007, 10:53 AM

EDIT... my point in case.

FULLY HEKTIC MAAAAAATE!!!

lol.... most the parts used were off commodores!!!!!

Ryan · 27-01-2007, 11:05 AM

I have a monster tacho in my car, but it's a manual and doesn't have an indash one.

Anyway mine is new HSV kits on old Commos. God some of them look retarded and VNs are just a pet hate all together.
