Which of today's automotive accessories will be tomorrow's joke?

Where I live at all the kids like to put loud mufflers on their cars and that is all they do to customize their cars. In town all you can hear whining noise coming from their little corsica or whatever piece of junk they are driving.

I nominate that dam wing on the back of cars with little 4 cylinder engines.

throw in those stupid rotating rims,

Let’s not forget “Pimp My Ride”

Hahaha, i live in the central valley california and the goofiest things are here; two tone paint that looks like spatz, thundering bass sound system, so loud you can hear the rivets rattle, novas with cadillac hood emblems, wings big enough to be used on an F-15 and YES those stupid rotating rims. But hands down whats next to pass into laughable history are those giant rims that appear on everything. Ive seen cars where its obvious that the rims cost more than the car is worth! Maybe on an SUV like a Chevy Suburban or Ford Excursion, sure you need a bigger wheel but some of these creations are in such bad taste you are embarrassed for the guy (and gals) who have thier outfitted with them. Yeah definitely giant rims are the next to go down in history as fodder for bad taste jokes.

How about putting 30 inch tires and wheels ona car
,plus jacking it up to get those 30s under it. These are the people who want the looks of a 4X4.

Anything over 20″ wheels on any vehicle up
to and including full size hummers.

To me they look like there waiting for a team of horses to come and pull them away.
Chromies on a stage coach. Yeeehaww

Anything mfgers, both org. or aftermkt, place on HUMMERS 1 , 2 & 3! WHY? It has enough “stuff” already!

Rims, spinning or oversized, when the brain surgeon behind the wheel has done nothing to upgrade the brake system….”why won’t it stop?”.

ANYTHING Fast n Furious. Can you say “Over here, Officer”?

Thumping bass systems aren’t bad…they can’t hear your shotgun as they pass….lol.

Those ” city SUVs ” with the front brush guards…looks real stupid.

Plastic panels on Pontiacs and on Honda Elements belong in the dustbin with “new Coke”! Remember the “new Coke” debacle?

Spinners…stupid now, stupid in the future…stupid idea…stupid and ugly forever…

The internal combustion engine. Someday alternate clean power will be here.

White tailights , uhhhh, look stupid on everything, and are basically illegal without red bulbs. Trend that cannot disappear fast enough. Yuk

Spinning rims! nuff said!
and anything that belongs on a racecar on a piece of crap cavalier or dodge neon! If the accessories to the car, cost more than the car itself…
10 years from now, we’ll be laughing at it!

Giant rims on any car. It makes the car look out of proportion. Like the car has wheels from a horse drawn carriage. It looks out of whack. And blue and green lights, especially on the windshield washer nozzels!
You can really tell a novice by the junk they bolt onto their cars.

22 inch rims on a 87 Buick Century. That is ugly.

People who put mufflers the size of coffee cans on a out of tune 4 banger. They sound like a UPS truck going up the street.

Rear wings on any vehicle – from 4-cylinder “put-puts” to ridiculous HP SUV’s and trucks.

‘I’ drive to much of a distraction, not a real good idea.

Borla equiped junkers with mufflers that cost more than the car’s worth. Sounds over revved weedwacker! It’s still a just four banger.

how about those cars with flags nice huh

Seats reclined so far back that the driver looks five years old.

anything copying the ‘fast and furious’ movie look. why put that much money into a low end car? most look so ghetto. could probably buy a porche boxster for the same outlay of $$. and i’d rather drive the porche.

Big Screen GPS’s that cost a fortune to have on luxury vehicles will be available for free on every cell phone much sooner than 2017!

Big pick up trucks with oversize off road tires and so high in the air that you have to use a stair to get in.

def. spinning rims! My friend put them on his durby race car because he knew after someone hit them they would get all junked up and that amused him!!!
the flame shaped grills!!!nuff said x2!!
and I don’t know whats up with all the cars that are more than one color… like doors black and car red… but ITS FRIGGIN UGLY!!!! are they blind???… i understand some of them are getting ready for paint jobs but the others that think its kewl… someone should run you over with it!

1 Spinners 2 oversized wheels 3 and last but not least those tinny sounding over-sized mufflers. cmon it’s still a freakin 4 banger.

I remember those funny looking windshield “eyebrows” on cars in the 50’s (later replaced by film.) but today’s “wings” & spiners are absurd!

spinners will probably be outlawed because they are a distraction to those cell phone using while driving morons. headlights with wipers on them. city drivers with off road eguiptment on their SUV (urban assault vehicles)
Tubbed rears on street vehicles.
luxury cars without a competency test.
I really think that any customizing that takes place outside of a factory should be stopped because no matter what you do someone else is not going to like it and shut you down.

Like anything and everything… There will always be a buyer, most of your spinning rims have now made it out of style and most kids are putting more money into the motors than the whole “Fast and Furious” look. Scoff at the lil Neon next to you if you like with the coffee can fat pipe, but remember the sleepers of the late 60’s, 70’s, and early 80’s… That may just be an SRT4 with all the upgrades that’s about to dust your new Corvette. But like many things… this to will pass, just like the Neon itself has to make way for the next BIG thing… Are you ready:)

spinners, american cars , donks, overly massive amounts of chrome, overly gigantic spoilers and such that obviously serve no purpose…i’m not against small mods of the sort, if they’re tastefully done.

PT Crusier Woodies: Out of fashion the day they were made. They may be cool years hence, just as a vinyl wood-sided Country Squire is high camp cool today, but it will take thirty years to do it, just as it did for the Country Squire.

Oh, yeah, flames on a PT Cruiser too.

Any car where the owner spends more money on chrome and whizz-bang styling than on true performance. How hard would it be to come up with a reality show where they evoke true aerodynamic style and fuel efficiency? Even Detroit is pushing to take the automobile out of the environmental debate.

nothing makes my day as when some moron drives down the road with spinners… one spinning freely and the other barely moving or totally stuck. it’s a rolling billbooard advertizing the fool behind the wheel who spent ridiculous money on stupid carnival crap! the other is when dealers dress up a hot selling car just to jack up their profit margin with junk like plastic side window air deflectors…on a civic si no less!!

how about a lowered 4×4 suv or humvee with 20’s or up whats the point l.e.d effects making the ground glow purple even pulsating with the gangsta rap secreating from it non painted carbon fiber hood or trunk with a spoiler up past the roof stickers that some moron payed money for to stick on the side of thier 2500 $ camealion paint like it was nascar of something windows tinted so dark your afraid to drive at night blinking valve stem caps or how about 1500 $ lambo door kit on a f—ing 92 civic 10 foot long caddies with half an inch of clearence imatation 2 piece rims or fake beedlock tv’s all the way in the back so the guy behind you can rear end you ps3″s in the glove box and a 40 inch flat screen in the back its a car not a psp and my god flip up trunk brackets its a car not a transformer and chiniese wrighting all over it or decals that cover the hole side of the car angel eyes on anything but a beemer

i have a pt cruiser and i like the way some people put flames on them or really cool paint jobs. they are our cars so we will do what we want with them when we want to. if you don’t like it don’t look. i saw on over in cedar hill with an american flag paint job. so cool it cost the man 12 grand to do it and i think it is hot for a bottom end car to look the best it can be. i hope someday to buy a second and maybe a third pt cruiser not the best drive in the world but a nice little car.

Rear window louvers must be useful in hot climates, but in the snow belt they were one of the stupidest ideas ever.
How can you scrape ice with louvers in the way? The old spinner wheel covers of the 60’s, where the spinner only turned with the wheel cover, at least never looked stupid like the new ones.

Hey, station wagons with the faux wood trim sides are all the rage now, their making a comeback! Follow any of them on eBay and you’ll be surprised how much money they bring, especially the wagons in mint to low mileage originals. It’s a nostalgic thing!

Mine is a ‘85 Ford LTD Country Squire, lot’s of fun!

Check my wagon out! http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2861016

Very cool station wagon Clark, sweet!
