* Monster tacho's when the car has one stock....
* Those exhaust tips that were light blue and were touted to make the car faster "ex turbo" or sumthing like that * Extra trailer style $10 lights screwed onto the sheet metal of older cars to supliment the standard ones. Extra bad if the break light reads the word "stop". * Speaker boxes from a home stero system lying un-attached on the rear parcel tray. * hmmmm crappy "sponsorship" stickers naming all the brands the car probably doesnt have but the driver wish they had... Im sure there is many more.... |

LOL I used to have plastic checkerplate floormats. I've seen the light now and gotten rid of them.
+1 vote for milo tin / fart tube exhaust, particularily if it's a 5" tip attached to a 1/2" exhaust!

Untasteful mods. For example, altezza style lights on a Lancer look pretty good, but they look horrid on a VS Commodore. Similarly cannon exhausts go pretty well on kitted Jap cars where the kit suits the car, but on a stock Echo or in any way is obtrusive of the lines of the car, then they look yuck. Aussie and Euro styling compliments rectangular, oval or twin exhausts style.
Spinner hubcaps are crap on anything and should be banned (it seems though most cars that have these hubcaps are the 40yo mum who's put them on the shopping cart car) |

monster tacho's on cars that have a tacho dash,
cannons on shitbox's altezza lights on anything but the is200/altezza (where it is factory) standard ride height big wheels look. the shopping list of decals (i have 1 sticker on my car and its because i got them to make me a custom manifold!) chev badges on commodores vn/vp's altogether (they are just a ruined car lol) I dont mind a cannon on a kitted jap car like mentioned if it suits it awesome if it doesnt dont bother.
