Automotive trends you can't stand

Postby Huzer » Tue Nov 30, 2010 9:14

Probably another thread on here, but I couldn't find it.

Newest style fad that's annoying the heck out of me: LED running lamps. Unless they came standard on your NEW Audi, they don't look good on your F150, Honda, or heck, your older Audi either. It's even debatable that they look good on new Audis. These are quickly getting as prominent as fake fender vents.

awww really? I was looking at them on ebay last night haha. I love the way those look.


I can't stand roll call decals, pretty much ruin any car they're on. (Unless your sporting/promoting your own logo) But thankfully i think that trend is just about gone...

I switched my yellowy parking lights out with LED to match my HID lights and they look goooooood! Least I think so....
But I think the fake fender vents and the 22' emblem are the worst.

The trend with the JDM fanbois who put stickers/decals on their front windshields...talk about stupid and unsafe...(sorry Ian)

Really though, I'm not much of a "hater" because I realize how much everyone's tastes differ so much, otherwise we would all drive and mod the same car. Remember, it was some of these people pushing the aftermarket styling/performance envelope a few years ago which are now the current trends (hellaflush, keeping it clean, tucked engine bays, etc)
:eek:
