What not to do to your car!

I love the fact that there is white smoke coming out of his tailpipe.
Hmm should I buy the wing or rebuild the engine...
Well the wing will make me go faster so it should compensate for the loss of compression due to me being an idiot!

saw this Eclipse on Friday in San Bernardino, Ca
with the exception of gigantor wing, and the spare tire, (and the few paint chips) the car was accually pretty nice. body kit seemed to fit nice, which is a rarity around here. the other 3 wheels were nice. universal muffler didnt sound to bad. just htought the spare tire looked funny and was roth taking a pic of.

fast an furious style body kit. Glad he didn't go with the roof scoop I've seen on a couple of others in the SB area. I even saw one painted lime green with a replica of the Fast/Furious graphic. I knew it wasn't the real car...cause we all know that one blew up when the Nirtous tanks got heated up from all that machine gun shrapnal.

I think some people just put anything on their cars. But then again, maybe the cheesy "cheap" stuff is all they could afford?! But a v-tec sticker on a Mitsubishi is just retarded. Next thing you know, someone will put a v-tec sticker on a rotary! I think graphics--all graphics--serve only two purposes:
1) Cover a scratch/body imperfection
2) For show cars--that are supposed to be over the top--Advertise sponsors
You'll never see a real classy car, Bentley; Lamborghini; Ferrari; etc, with huge graphics & logos on it. Furthermore, what's with the hangglider wings? NO STREET CAR needs that much negative lift on the rear! Especially front wheel drives! And $5 mufflers ain't cool either....well thats my two cents. Now, I'm going to Target and am gonna buy me a body kit & spring clamps....

I did see a car show once (on tv) where a Nascar guy sent his brand new Ferrari to be painted and stickered to match his Nascar car....yeah, was horrible to think you'd do that to a Ferrari....

Kwescott,
Yeah. Sounds almost criminal, no?! But, even as cheesy as that is, I may even understand it--given the guy is a PROFESSIONAL NasCar driver. But some schmo putting a GIA-NORMOUS Nike Swoosh or some other ridiculous logo on the car? Don't get me wrong, I LOVE Air Jordans, too! But Mike isn't sending me free pairs twice a month with a huge check to sport his Jumpman on my ride either. Even little cheesy things like, for example, a guy I know. He buys a part for his car. Then he puts the logo of that part on his fender. If the manufacturer sent him the part to test or say to advertise then different story. But to go out, buy the part, then post it so everyone knows you've got a 3/4" drop in your springs...thats just plain cheesy.
Worse even, to put logos and stuff of things that aren't even on the car! Case-in-point the V-tec sticker guy!? Mi-Vec, maybe...but V-tec is strictly Honda, no?!
Well that's my 4 cents. Gotta go, the UPS guy is here with the HKS Super Turbo muffler and Disney Lightning McQueen Body kit I ordered from Safeway and the Disney Store...

Okay. So I'm wrong. Thanks for ruining the dream, bro. I guess no car is safe from nor beyond the reach of "tackiness!" What's next?! A Viper with a trailer hitch! Wait, I shouldn't say that...there just might be one or two out there!
Hahaha. Good find!

In regards to the decal discussion. I think the rice equivalent for road bicyclists is when you see your average joe beer belly riding his 10 speed with the tour de france USPS logo bicycle shirt with a bunch of other sponsers on it. I'm sure all those people are paying him to ride to work each morning.

Yo man.. New England Reprezenting hommies lawl!!!
Found this PoS while waiting at the Gas Station. I quickly grabbed my Camera and stagged a few shots. I have to remember to have my camera more readily available since I've been seeing a few Riced out cars lately in my town.
Oh and the Charger in the first pic was a SRT version hmmm exhaust note was kinda sexay but I thought mine was still better hehe.

spotted this in the parking lot at my local grocery store. not too often do we see the limited edition Buick GT around anymore. I nearly crashed when i spotted this one.
sorry for crappy picture quality, it was kinda dark out.

I like the endplates tilted over on the mustang. To reduce the drag from the wingtip vorticies coming off that kickass wing and give it a little more downforce.
