Worthless Mods Lets Here Them

RVJ · December 13, 2010

Fog lights that come on with headlights when it 90 degrees and not a cloud in the sky.

Lowered or lifted trucks that didn't have their headlights aimed afterwards.

Radios with 1000 watts and factory speakers.

Last night I seen a F150 Off Road decalled truck with 1 inch of rubber between his rims and the road.

The disturbing (and becoming more popular) trend of putting "In memory of" stickers in your back window. I guess all your loved one was worth to you was you crappy vehicle.

The only time this is cool is if you have restored your grandfathers 1950's Chevy or something like that. Not your 89 z71 that has all the interior trim panels missing and is worth about $1500.

How about a corvette ass end on an old yota- and i mean the thing was welded on

Here in SoCal we call that a Truckvette. I see so many of these types of cars running around. (On a side note, California is becoming Little Tijuana) I should start taking pictures!

Oh yea, and installing wheels that cost more than the car. +1

--HID lights. Most people half a$$ it and don't install projectors with the lights, while opting to buy the highest watt HID they can find. People also seem to like the blue and purple color. I tend to think of most people with HID headlights as big douche bags. I find that regular bulbs and Silverstars work fine for me when I'm in the city. Since I live in a more rural area, I've been thinking about adding a light bar for extra light that I can switch on when traveling down a rural back road, not when riding down a lit city street.

--High school kids in monster HD trucks that have been lifted to the sky by the kid’s parents. Usually also have HID lights and the already mentioned chrome stick on pieces.

--Car stereo's that shake my vehicle from 5 cars away. I'm not against having subs and nice speakers, but you shouldn't have your music obnoxiously loud while sitting in traffic.

--Bull bars that go in place of tow hooks and remove your ability to pull/be pulled in an emergency or recovery situation.

--Lowering kits for a truck, regardless of if its 2wd or 4wd.

--Stacks...regardless of diesel or gas

--Racing/rally stripes on trucks

--Low profile tires and/or big rims on trucks

--TV's in the rear view mirrors for watching movies

As for CAI's...I kind of regret getting mine, but I have verified that my intake temps stay near ambient temp (within 10F) as long as I am not getting heatsoak from stop and go city traffic. I'm pretty sure no intake can protect from that. My CAI is wrapped in a heat shield sleeve and the filter is protected by a modified stock plastic airbox into the fender. Basically I just eliminated the restrictive silencer chamber and grooved rubber elbow and added a cleanable air filter. I once installed the stick on handles and gas door when I got my truck, but ditched them after a couple of months. I eventually figured out how cheesy they looked, which explains why they are somewhere in the back of my closet. I'm sure a lot of yall would think my Z85 camo stickers are dumb because 1) Some dealers added Z85 stickers as a gimmick package and 2) the camo...but I'm still liking them.

Although not inexpensive, "ghetto-rich" wheels and tires. Any kind of under-vehicle lighting except trouble lights. Cheap-*ss front-end lighting improperly aimed. "Buick" portholes, even on a Buick. ANYTHING hanging from the rear-view mirror.

Oh HELL YEAH!

I have my motocross goggle hanging in my rearview mirror, hoep that doesn't qualify under this

here up north in alberta, mainly fort mcmurray its the so-called newfoundland "capital of canada". their is an abundance of newfies...now i dont know if any of you americans have had the pleasure of talking to one..."ooohhh me son, me hates the way I's talk, LORD TUNDERIN' jesus by'.....god they are nice people but they talk like morons, and most of them are about as useful as a post...and they think by putting a picture of the outline of the shape of newfoundland makes their vehicle special in alberta. ive seen the picture of "the rock" (newfoundland is an island) with "100%" inside it, ive seen "republic of newfoundland" and ive seen "yeeees by" and this just isnt a couple vehicles its like aaaaalll newfies trucks...that and they LOVE canadian tire chrome bullshit. ive seen a few trucks around town with EVERY chrome glue on peice of shit that you can possibly buy on their truck along with a spoiler, shitty exhaust tip, ROLL BAR with chrome lights, big ass antanae's...along with their "rock" sticker. proud to be from the stupidest(its a real fact) part of canada...makes me sick. if you miss the rock so much...GO HOME

Ahhaahhaa

I feel like you could replace "newfies" with Mexicans here! Mexican flag in the back window with a sticker statue of the Virgin Mary and their name in some kind of cursive style font over the top of all of it like a big gay rainbow. Si?!!?

If Mexico is so great, why don't you just go back there? It's not hard to get from the US to Mexico?

I also find that these vehicles possess like 8" spoke wheels, usually gold, that stick out from the vehicle about 16".

i'm not trying to sound like a biggot but most of the latino people that come in with trucks have it all decked out but it runs like crap maybe its ass backwards on spending? spend more on the virgin mary stick then the spark plugs?
