I have done plasti dip and yellow films. Guess I can’t post anymore.

Kiibiiin 07-22-2018 08:02 PM

Everything except sticker bombing

Tcoat 07-22-2018 08:32 PM

I would do whatever the hell I wanted to to my own car.

CraigVM 07-22-2018 08:37 PM

scaffolding sized spoilers that would be overkill if placed on an F-1 car.

I think sticker bombing is more like covering up older stickers with more stickers until it creates its own almost "wrap-like" layer :lol: but then again I was gonna place a couple on my rear window, which probably leans towards tasteful :thumbup:

Tire stickers. The modern day neon under glow.

Vic4uf 07-23-2018 01:02 AM

Lights under the car
Airbag suspension
Stance with extreme camber
Wrapping my shift boot with a crown bottle cover
Extremely loud exhaust
Chrome wheels or any wheels that are heavier than the TRD wheels

Kimsey47 07-23-2018 01:04 AM

I'd never intentionally break it... I think the younger kids refer to it as 'hellaflush' these days.

Gunman 07-23-2018 12:52 PM

The only things I would not do to my car, is anything that I do not like myself.

Leonardo 07-23-2018 01:44 PM

I have had several cars that were 2" from the ground. Never again!

How else would one ever put their foot down?!

Tk rocket 07-23-2018 07:46 PM

List updated

DandoX 07-23-2018 08:17 PM

I would never run giant wheels 19+

Smoke out all the tail lights and head lights

Tint the hell out of windows

Giant wing

Floor lights

Under car lights

Get one of those ugly aftermarket hoods

Most body kits (few exceptions)

Stanced

Fart can exhaust

Livery giant text sticker on windsheld

Not car specific stickers = random stickers like where you went to school or if your kid is an honor roll

Heavy bass speakers in trunk

Have a discolored trunk or doors

Have any hashtag social media marking

Have wheels in a color (only gold sort of is okay in some situations)

Have any sticker that does not relate to a driving experience or aftermarket part installed on the car

Tk rocket 07-23-2018 09:31 PM

I agree with most of ur list. 19 inch wheels now a days aren't so giant now a days with most cars. On the right 86 it looks proper when it has the right aero and ride height etc

Any sticker on a car, unless someone is PAYING you.

x808drifter 07-23-2018 10:48 PM

Besides EVERYTHING in DandoX's post

Non square wheels unless I had massive power.
400+

Curtains
VIP Car shit in general.

Dumb dildo/crystal/sword shift knobs.

Harness with no cage.

Non air bagged wheel in a car driven on the street.

Non functional hoods.

Carbon replacement panels. Especially if unpainted.

Chrome trim.

Drift Charm/Train Handle. AKA JDM Truck Nuts.

Big ass areo on a street car that'll never see the track.

Tk rocket 07-23-2018 11:40 PM

Totally forgot about the drift charm and dildo knob. Ugh.

I think the sticker free look is awesome. Not against it in general but I run zero

re-animator 07-24-2018 07:49 PM

i secretly like underglow now that it is no longer popular

pcguru2000 07-24-2018 08:02 PM

1. fake hood/fender scoops/cutouts?
2. Wheels that are 18" or bigger
3. hood latches
4. Wings that attach below the trunk hood
5. Lowering the car anymore than it is now
6. raising the car anymore than it is now
7. Camber kits that make the car look idiotic.
8. Any foreign language stickers or paint.

so stock, then?

I think underglow is cool. I don't give a damn what anyone else thinks. my computer has underglow and I like it. resized just for you, website that doesn't like nice images

why? 07-25-2018 01:55 PM

I've always liked the stickerbombing thing, just not on the exterior of a car.

I will always argue that airbags are useless, or at best a crutch moronic governments let carmakers use instead of letting them do their own jobs and figure out how to build a safer car themselves. Make it an option, let's see the real statistics.

wouldn't that be nice. And hell I'd take the payment in a nice discount, too.

ZionsWrath 07-25-2018 03:21 PM

I would avoid intentionally rusted body panels

Also "tastefully modified". Because that is not even a thing. Everyone "taste" is different. A tastefully modified exhaust to one is a rice rocket to another.

Wheat speaker is that? I need something simple for my laptop.

Most can agree what tastefull vs gaudy such as color of car color, style of wheels, over the top body kit or subtle

IMO there will never be a consensus on what is a tasteful modificiation

Shit, people can't even agree on what a tasteful stock vehicle is.

false. its all relative. I like underglow even though need for speed underground was a long ass time ago. some people hate it. I hate stanced cars that look like the hulk smashed it into the ground. others love it

Clipping_Path 07-26-2018 10:53 AM

Like an under glow, I said I would NEVER install a ricey interior light kit in my car.

Because the 86 only has the crappy dome light up at the front, once autumn hit, dark at 5PM I could not see in my backseat to buckle my son in his car seat. Actually caved and now have a full ambient kit under all my seats and dashboard.

Not rice at all when you set the brightness to as low as it can go. Very subtle and looks similar to the newer luxury sedans incorporating colored ambient lights.

RToyo86 07-26-2018 02:13 PM

Less trend, but I don't do anything to my cars that cannot be returned to stock. The only things I've done were very subtle changes that the average person would never pick up on.

Except for that time I lost a bet and had to plastidip my winter wheels blue.

max20s14 07-26-2018 06:17 PM

has anyone said rocket bunny yet? I wouldn't do rocket bunny.

this is why I don't make bets. there's a woman who drives a blue wrx around town with the wheels and other parts plastidipped pink. I don't think she lost a bet though, I think she's just going for blue and pink

Willie Swoopes 07-27-2018 08:46 AM

A lot of money is spent on designing the look of these cars. I really like the subtle changes.

Is it "ricey" if it is a dealer installed option?

The blue grew on me all though I wouldn't do it again. The plastidip however protected the wheels extremely well.

I peeled the coating off after winter, and the wheels still looked new.
