A lot of people get caught up in the modding hype and do some really stupid shit to their cars without realizing how ridiculous it looks because they're only exposing themselves to positive attitudes about it and get caught up in the nonsense. Years ago I did something really stupid to a car that I thought looked cool until someone made an offhand comment that opened my eyes. Suddenly I realized that I only did it to look cool to other people, and that I had failed. These threads serve the same purpose.

People who already have stupid-looking mods on their cars will probably get defensive and double down. However, I'm hoping these threads throw some cold water on a few kids who are all hyped up ready to buy a bunch of garbage to bolt onto their cars and maybe point them in a different direction.
So someone said your car looked dumb so you changed it again so they'd think it was cool? That's even dumber than the first mod. Maybe if you did what you wanted and not others you wouldn't have this problem to start with
