You know you’ve done it. The questionable mod. The cheesie accessory. If it’s over the top, it belongs here. Little dog with blinker eyes? Giant emblems? Ridiculous paint? Goofy wheels wider than your tires?Trash can lid subs? Cursive writing in your tint?  Welcome home.

Let’s not forget performance mods...

Garbage can lid hood scoop? Chrome stacks? Grandma’s emphysema O2 tank injection? We got you. Let’s see them all.

There is NO SHAME too great. You know you’ve got a fin in the garage somewhere. “We’re all about the downforce”

 

If you show me yours... I’ll show you mine. Heck, I’ll even start.

Late 1960’s fender emblem. I removed the plastic and drilled the radiator support so it would sit flush. Yup, I suck.

”But, but, I’m proud of my engine, honey.”  “The guy’s all think it’s cool”. She shook her head so hard, I thought the marbles would rattle out her ears. She’s got no Tegrity.

I like that one. Well done.

 

 

Thanks, yours too.  I was originally looking for the colourful badges GM put on the front fenders of their early 60's trucks proudly indicating the number of cylinders on board!  They were quite large and unfortunately newer trucks don't have the flat mounting surface in the right spot.  

I am hoping other members share some aspect of the "personalization" of their vehicles.  "Cheesy" is what we believe others may think of our ingenuity or creativity but who cares?  Share some of yourself - it's Friday!  When we bought my current truck, my wife had our salesman getting me a set of Denali badges for my new SLE.   She said she loved the name.  However, this exceeded my cheese limit and this modification never materialized!  As Darksky indicated, this is all in fun.  We've all done things that we know are strictly for our own benefit or enjoyment and will not likely appreciated or copied by others.

I recently came across this photo taken shortly after I rebuilt my 1966 trailer!  It's going to get another rebuild this winter and I've got another decal ready to add!

That's not cheesy Donny.

I think it's pretty cool.

Sure it's cheese but I like to be different. I didn't care much for the 4x4 decals so I had these custom made to match the Z71 decal font

on the 2014-2018's. 

I've had these on my truck since March and have only been asked 3 times. What's a Z85?

It's the standard suspension found on most  non Z71 trucks. Nothing special. I ran with it anyways.

I left my silver truck alone for some reason the 4x4 decal on that truck don't bother me.
