Copied this from another forum, but thought it would be interesting.\

What do people do to their cars that you hate?

Ill start:

- Stupid body kits with stock rims
- Cannon exhausts
- Doof Doof music up so loud you cant hear yourself think even when they are 4 cars behind you.

What do you hate?

I agree with all of the above, The ricing of cars and chev badges. But ill add some new ones to the list.

Stickers - whether they are frangipani's or Nismo
Oversized Rims - the 20inch plus full chrome ones are just terrible
P plates taped on

Thats all i can think of for now

Hmm, I had no other choice but to do this that one time I visited that poor state called NSW.

Didnt like it though.

Cant think of anything I hate now, but agree with most of the above.

I hate people who black out the bonnet and continue it along the guard, around the windows, but have the chrome strip still curving around the windows.

To add to ALL the above which I agree with -

**hate it when the stereo is worth more than the car

**pink - where the seat covers; steering wheel cover; seat belt buddies (unless you're a tot there is no need people!); floor mats etc are all pink and the bloody car is a colour that clashes

**huge mags on front & stockies on the back - just to look like you might hang a massive skid at any moment

**stick on air vents on the bonnets/guards

**card board body kits (yep, taped on - must've been a might bored)

**mafia tint jobs - gotta wind the window down to see if there's anything coming

**crap home paint jobs (brush strokes or no sheen whatsoever)

**installing every electic device autobarn/supercheap sell on a car with more rust than panel

**weldin the diff just to drive it up and down the main street so everyone can hear it when it goes round a round-a-bout.

I should probably stop before I go on all night on this one!

Me and a mate fitted a full cardboard bodykit to his beat up barina a few years back. Was hilarious - full race spec with reverse bonnet scoop, sideskirts, spoilers, roof scoops and HSV badges (texta)

Yes we were bored and 17, although this kit never saw the road, well the main road

Bonnet scoops with no holes underneath!

Frangipani/jetpilot/metal melicia stickers. You just know that they should have spent the $$$$ on indicator bulbs instead!

lol @ the black bonnet and chrome strip thing. That stings!

Bodykits on Commodores that are from other models, or are supposed to make that model look like another model.

Gangsterrrrr driving position

Rattle can matte black paintjobs

Indicators that a car is something that it is not, when it isn't at least a mechanical replica (6cyl flared Torana, Walkie kit on VL Turbo, Incorrect badges etc)

Wheels with no dish on a car that needs dish!

its a country thing.. all the guys and there "country" (trucker flaps, big ass spottys etc) utes have em.

Commonly known as the 'Wanker Ute'. There's a kid here in Cowell, used to have a HZ ute with the works; stickers, mudflaps, 253 with a 3" exhaust, aerials etc. After he sold that (it has since been unwankerised and actually looks quite good) he bought himself a nice shiny new VE SS Ute. Let the transformation begin, he reckons... I'll let you work out the result in your head, because it's not pretty.

I don't mind Chev badges on Holdens, as long as they are Chev powered...

Oh, why would anyone want to buy an auto SS?
