I suffer the small aluminum wing disease
 I dont liek altezzas, dumb ass decals (especially that knock-off on INTEL inside that says "your girl inside" GRRRR!) and those extremly loud ass mufflers. Just cause air is passing through your car doesnt mean its gotta sound like its farting!!! |

To each his own! What one person may think looks good, you may not, but that doesn't mean it's wrong. It's a free country!

very true, i know there are certain things i'll do to my car that not everyone will like. the thing about some of the things mentioned aren't so much that they look really bad (cause everyone's allowed their own taste) but the fact that they're played out already. everyone has this stuff..that's what annoys me.

well, i like clean body kits, such as the rs kit and the spoon lips, jun lips, greddy lips, some full kits, there are some trunk mount wings i like, i like japanise racing rims, i like carbon fiber tastfully used, a 2 color car combination that dosnt contrast (silver and black, red and black, white and red or blue, something that looks good together) i love modded cars that dont look like they just bought the biggest part for the sake of saying i have this or that done. i have the rs front end, i could have gotten a whole kit, but i didnt wana just be like, i have a body it, i want it to look real smooth and flow on the car basicaly.

yeah.. I'm really tired of reading about what people don't like..
If you don't like it so much ... why do you spend so much time typing about it. The only time someone else's car really bothers me... is when I'm stuck behind it in traffic. And generally ricers drive fast, so I don't really dislike them too much...

Dissin on played out mods is played out.
Get off the bandwagon. If it looks good, it looks good regardless of whether everybody in the world has it. Get what you like and like what you get. You shouldn't live your life based upon what everybody else has or likes, otherwise you're just a puppet. b |

agreeing 100%.....itz not that people like or dont like certain things, cuz certain mods don't look bad but just simply played out.....i will admitt that the first time i saw the washer led i kinda thought they were interesting til i started seeing them on all kinds of cars from trucks to old asss domestics......and if ur car has "the goes" and is about to take off, go all out with the wing thatz fine.....if creativity is what ur going for then whatever comes out should be a combination of your own likes (so dunt like something that everybody else has or else u'd be a puppet by jocking people) , in my opinion the typical altezza and big asss wings aren't cutting it with the word "creativity"....btw i was only askin for people to list what they thought was played out cuz i just wanted to see different opinions on what is considered played out from one person to another... |

Ok...here's my opinion on things. There are only so many mods "kids" can afford to do on their cars. So i see it like this. Most of the cars you see rollin around with the same mods done to them are the ones that are maybe still in hs...pay to do their own mods off a part time job ect. They're doin what they like to do. Maybe once they have more $$ they'll go for the more expensive mods that no one else can afford. Don't hate on them cuz they have played out mods. They get what is available to them. I agree that tezzas are becoming like a$$holes...everywhere you look they're there...but some cars do look damn good with them on (Erin's car being one of them...I have always thought they looked good on her car). Not a huge fan of the aluminum wing either...but yet again if it's tasteful (like FMR's) they look aight. Her's was done in a tasteful manner. Just cuz they are played out now doesnt mean they look bad. We're just all tired of lookin at the mods the companies offer us. Maybe it's the companies' fault for continuing to sell the same old mods.

Unpainted Body kits
thats just ghetto in my book. If you dont have the $$ to get it painted when you get the kit then don't put it on!!!

Everyone keeps saying how this is played out and that is played out! But hey, there isn't a day that goes by that I don't see a ton of Honda's out on the roads, does that mean that Honda's are played out? They may or may not, but it doesn't matter cause people are still going to keep buying them regardless! And I can see that there are a lot of altezza haters here....but guess what, I kind of like them....so sue me!!!

that's not all true, I saw some unpainted body kits on some Honda and it's look stand out especially on red or blue car w/ white primered body kits. yea i agree with all of you that a lot of part beginning to play out, but if we keep on dissing played out part, then I guess when everybody starts getting body kits and the same style of rims then all the products will all be played out. |

Like I stated before...it's the companies producing the same mods that sell (their whole point of being in business) and "our" (meaning the people who mod their cars) willingness to buy them that makes certain mods played out. Us talkin/b*tching about them being played out doesnt change that fact. Until the modders start buyin other parts and the companies providing different things for them, the parts will be played out. End of story. So either just deal with the played out parts/mods or stop doin them and keep an open mind about the cars you see with them. That person driving that car likes their mods otherwise they wouldn't have spent the money on them.

True dat. That's why I like seeing people do custom jobs themselves....nobody else is gonna have it. As I've said before, if you're tired of everybody having the same stuff, don't buy a Honda, period. Buy a Yugo, nobody has those...then you won't be played out. b |

yea that's a good idea. do you think that the 60hp Yugo has Turbo or Supercharger for the engine or does it has NOS for it as well? if it does i might go get one of those.

Windshield LEDS seem to be the main things on everbodies hated list. Well I have them and I like them, but:
1) It is not a mod and I don't consider it as one 2) I am probably the only one in my town who has them, therefore I am original 3) I like the look and thats all that matters I dont pretend to have something I don't, under the hood or otherwise. (BTW: I have neons, too. Why? I like them. Not many people have them. Advantage of living in small town.) |
