I'm not saying it isn't out there, it's just not as prevalent as it once was. The grating sound of "fart can" exhaust systems isn't encountered as often (not in my areas anyway), and I see fewer cars with unpainted, poorly installed body kits driving around.

That said, I'm sure there will always be some rice out there. Heck, when I had my springs installed, the manager of the shop told me a guy in his 70's had been in there with his FR-S to have lambo-doors and a ridiculous wing installed. He showed me pictures of the car.

It was Hot Lava, but a more apt descriptive phrase would be "Steaming Poo". Something tells me that guy has a grin on his face when he's driving that car though!
I just got back from Detroit and let me reassure you the bad kits, fart cans and other ricer fad items are alive and thriving!


I saw so many smashed bumpers and skirts that I am considering opening a zip tie store someplace near metro and retiring in two years!
