Most pitiful car accessory?
just inquiring about some of the "attitude adders" that have been seen by all the wonderful MW stangers. Can be anything on any car!

Well...I'll exclude all import accessories on this because everything about them is pitiful and that would be a long list. I would have to say it would be this body kit I saw in a magazine once. It was for turning a Mustang into a Mercedes (well...the body of a Mercedes anyway). The kit costed abut $10K just to look like some dinky little Mercedes. It almost made me cry/vomit.

The worst thing I ever saw was in the JC Whitney ricer, er, "sport compact" catalog. They sell rear view mirrors that are 3 and 4 times the size of a normal one. Very very very stupid.

I visited some buddies last night and this guy was working on his Civic (barf) he was putting in $10 hoodpins on his stock metal hood. He said he was doing it just for looks. That's just sick. Worst part is the Civic has very very minor engine mods. I'm talking like wires and a MSD Blaster Coil. He probably can't even break into the 16's. And he has hood pins... Nice guy though, but hes kinda got the ricer mentality. No stickers though!

Uh oh...I think I am going to be here for hours on this one haha! Here goes!
1.) Chrome rocker panel trim. I even saw some with zebra stripes on it 2.) Those little crown air freshners people sit on their dashboards 3.) THE PRETTY LADY STICKERS!!!!! 'nuff said 4.)Those headlight stickers with cutouts that people think make their car look custom: just looks cheap 5.)Hideous plastic chrome windshield wipers (the double kind) 6.) Cab Fairings and all other customizations for overzealous truck owners 7.) ANYTHING LOONEY TUNES!! i.e. Taz floor mats or Tweety seat covers 8.) Screw on chrome exhaust tips 9.) Purple do it yourself window tint with bubbles!!!!!! 10.) Window louvers!!!!!!! *barf* 11.) Neon lights under cars *blah* UGHHHHHHHHH no moreeeeeee I do have to eat today! Inferno: what fox body mods are you talking about??? I only see saleen wings, cowl hoods and aftermarket rims. As a non-ricer import lover, I think you know about those damn 4 foot high wings and all, improper lowering etc etc. I think that's what 84_GT350 meant. Personally I think your Supra is pretty darn clean http://www.mustangworks.com/msgboard/smile.gif ------------------ Elisha (Mustangbelle) 1994 GT: Cartech intake,4.10s, full exhaust, and pulleys.

The worst are the idiots with the huge sticker on the windshield that says 'latin cruiser' and then they put fringe all around the running boards on the car. ick.

ok... here's my opinion...
1. those lil piurple-blue fog lights 2. Old English writing 3. Those lil glowing lights that are on the wheels of a lot of 4-cyl type cars ------------------ Jodi AKA PonyGirl Red 68 GT Fastback and Black 99 GT Coupe "Not your average Mustangs..." PonyGirl |

I don't know what ya'll will think, but I've been looking for some nice texas longhorns to slap on the grill of my 90LX convert. Not trying to look 'fast' or anything, I just think it would look cool, either that or a steer skull. Anyone have one? I know there are some people from Texas here........

This might not be a car accessory per se, but since I live in the boonies of Michigan trucks make up about 90% of the vehicles on the roads around here. What really gets me is these guys putting HUGE almost fart-pipe sized chrome tips on their "dual" exhausts, coming out right under the bumper (sometimes BANGING INTO the bumper!). Then on top of that, not only do they sound like overgrown weedwhackers, but you can usually see the rest of the exhaust system which is usually the stock 1.75" pipes. Garsh that looks fugly. http://www.mustangworks.com/msgboard/frown.gif

This one still makes me laugh-
A few weeks ago I removed the 2 "5.0" emblems from the front fenders of my 91 and replaced them with "302" emblems. Ever since then my buddy has been wanting to put the "5.0" emblems on his 4cyl Toyota Camry! I think I should let him.

Personally I dont have any gauges, but I think its okay for ANYONE to have them. Just because you are slow doesn't mean you don't have to know what's going on in your engine. Both my oil pressure and temp gauges are DEAD, and I was thinking about Autometer... I hope i run 13s though dammit! ------------------ Elisha (Mustangbelle) 1994 GT: Cartech intake,4.10s, full exhaust, and pulleys.

I saw a Stang the other day with a big red "R" on the back with GS on the left and XR on the right. How dumb.

1) 17" McLeans or Daytons on ANY Mustang. Do it to whatever car you want to but just don't screw with the stangs.
2) Neon lights under the car. 3) Chrome trim on any car it didn't come on frm the factory. 4) Tires that are too thin for the rims they are on (usually on those STUPID Mclean/Dayton wheels). 5) White tail lights on Mustangs ------------------------------- '79 Mustang Coup w/ 4" Cowl Stock 5.8L, C4 w/ shift kit Holley 750 cfm, Edelbrock Performer RPM intake 1 5/8" MAC shorty headers, Al driveshaft 2.5" Off road H-pipe, 2-chamber Flowmasters Front: 225/60/15, Rear: 255/60/15 Eagle GT II Weld wheels (15x6;15x8), 8.8" Rear w/ 3.55s 14 x 4” K&N air filter (getting the Xtreme setup soon) http://www.mustangworks.com/msgboard/cool.gif "Red, thou art my companion.

colored window tint (blue, yellow, red) seems to be getting more and more frequent around here...and looks ridiculous

Ok, here's one i forgot.
I saw a Dodge Colt, the owner had painted 4 and 5 next to the COlt logo on the back L.O.L! Colt .45! |

Oh please....
As if you people know what a bad accessory is. Come on now, everybody knows those big chrome curb feelers are the most ridiculous accessory you can put on a car. http://www.mustangworks.com/msgboard/biggrin.gif I've never ever seen anything that makes a car look more ridiculous than a bunch of 12" long metal rods sticking out off the facia to make scraping noises when you run into a curb. Fugly, fugly, fugly. |
3 inch dual exhaust on engines with 90 horses and enough torque to spin the tires on ice with fart pipes! SWEET! seriously do they think that sounds good? cause it actually makes me pissed off. a healthy v8 with duals and headers now that is not offensive by any means.
|
Hey what about those little stuffed doll things that they have at car shows; with them crying on the bumper..hehe those thigs are annoying!
