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)

I hear you in those chrome wipers!

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........

Capri306 · 04-15-2001, 09:55 PM

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.

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. That would be pretty damn funny to pull up next to!

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!

What about those "nightrider" neon roving light thingys.

Also those crossdrilled disc brake covers that you put over drum brakes to make it look like you have disk brakes. HEHE those are funny too.

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
