What's your favorite aftermarket atrocity/accessory?

Mine has to got to be those huge 20+ inch spinning rims that are all the rage. I think they are tacky beyond belief. They are positively the last things I would put on my shiny new F150 Supercrew. Oh and those bullet hole stickons.

Mine is the guys who put such a big rim on that they have to lift the vehicle so they can turn w/o scrubbing. You've seen those mid 80s GM cars w/ 22s or 24s. Also dropped 4x4s.

Spinners have to take the cake. I hate those. Especially the hubcap ones - you know - the guys that can't afford the real wheels, so they go to Pep Boys and buy the hubcaps that have spinners in them...




Bullet hole stickers. I have always wanted to know someone with those so I could actually shoot through the sticker and see just how long it took them to notice....

That's mean - I know....................

Back when I was a kid, it was those little chain link steering wheels, now those don't seem as gaudy as the spinner wheels, which I guess are incredibly expensive. Another ridiculous item is the huge speakers that literally fill the trunk, where they gonna put the groceries?

hmm..honestly though, it was kind of neat once when I saw a pack of about 10 slammed chevy s-10's leaving the parking lot of summit. They dropped the trucks on the freeway and you could see a huge trail of sparks fly out from underneath the truck. -Will

I saw i guy do that to his little ranger while he was driving in a parking lot

when he dropped it it pulled the wheels up off the ground and he must have cut his gas line or something else under there.

the sparks from the truck moving started a fire and you know what happened from that point


i was like d a m n n n n n n n sucks to be that guy
