What's the worse mod you've seen so far?

I went to a Vietnamese restaurant today and saw another white fr-s sitting in the parking lot. There, I saw two vietnamese guys organizing some stuff in the trunk before heading inside. I noticed their fr-s was modded so i got out and took a closer look...
  • Walmart chrome license brackets with cheesy Harley Davidson style 'flame' design
  • Brown alligator leather steering wrap
  • White fur seats (Both) like they just finished skinning a polar bear
  • Chrome purple shift knob (automatic)
  • Two furry dices dangling on the mirror
  • Mismatched odd size rubber seals across every dividing gap of the car. It makes every panel of the car look defective/melted
  • Car is just screaming with cheap O'Reilly, Checkers, Walmart parts.


my face when I saw it

I'm not picking on vietnamese people (so dont take it the wrong way) but... it's the first time ever that I felt like not associating myself with another FR-S owner.

Awwww dammit that sounds horrible! I'm hoping whoever has one in my town won't do that. I think there are maybe like 4 or five here counting myself and so far they are stock. A red one may have some new wheels but thats about it. But you know, when people do that to these cars, they will get laughed and mocked and probably bypassed anyways. I'm probably gonna leave my car completely stock (body and wheel wise) but its already garnered great attention on its own. I mean, its not an old Honda Civic lol

Well if it makes anyone feel better, the asian guy I sold a BRZ to made his look classy with 18" Enkei Raijin wheels.

Who would want to steal them anyways?

Coming from high theft target cars these cars are a relief. I don't care where I park it and I have never once wondered if it would still be there when I got back.

We have a "Rice of the Day" thread on the MazdaSpeed forums, not a bad idea to start here as well...
