i honestly dont see how its any different than having sticker from any other sort of sponsor. im just saying that you drawing conclusions from a sticker someone has on their car is no bigger stretch than someone drawing conclusions from the thread you posted.

I guess you have a point, though usually when you've been sponsored by a company you've already put in the work. When a 20y/o with a boosted rocket bunny has a "mom's money" decal on their car to me, honestly, they come off as a douche bag.

I'm asking for others opinions on what they don't like about the cars. This is a car forum. I have no complaints about this forum so why would I contact a moderator. In fact, I like this website.

Back to the topic on hand....

I have to agree with the "truck nuts" as well.

Tinted, blacked-out, all-red, taillights and turn signals. Purely from a safety standpoint. Amber turn signals are more obvious than red ones. And there's no good logic for making brake lights less bright.

DRL's. Can't stand them. Good thing my dealership was able to turn them off for me.

You should try it. It takes 10 minutes and it gives you that little extra oomph you're looking for. The car now pulls cleanly all throughout the powerband instead of lagging through the torque dip and then surging once you're past it. If you don't like it, you can always flash back to stock.

Quad or dual exhausts, their not needed and look very silly!



A single looks so much better!

Yes, they allow the DRIVER OF THAT CAR to see better, but the color temp is sometimes painful, literally for some folks' eyes, (as well makes it difficult for oncoming traffic to see)
That's just not having the headlights properly adjusted. I'd love to see more people getting ticketed for this sort of thing. I've been dazzled and nearly rear ended a car in front of my because I literally couldn't see anything but colored splotches for about 20 seconds.

Not sure I have a "beef" with any trend. Definitely styles, and mods I wouldn't do to my car, but that's just personal taste. I've pulled ideas from a lot of genres for my cars/trucks. I built a 1988 Ford Ranger "mini truck" with queues from lowriders, hot rods, and the mini truck scene. I've worked on exotics, multiple types of race cars...I just love cars/trucks, it doesn't matter the style, if it races, or just show, turns only left, or right and left. If the owner likes it, it's all good.

People that do this need to crash into each other. Get it out of the gene pool ...




Also, this looks like shit:




Already mentioned, but surprised it hasn't gotten more hatred:.
