I have a strong dislike for Monaro tail lights on VT Commodores with the VT boot garnish still in place.

mitsu lancers done up with EVO kits etc.

This is something I had to get a photo of. In his defence, he opted not to go the 8" exhaust tip, but I don't know what's worse:

One thing that makes me cringe is seeing small riceburners with big diameter alloys all round. Looks OK except all you see through the spokes on the rear rims is daylight!! It's hilarious seeing a tiny brake drum not much bigger than the wheel hub itself!!

I hate all things rice such as ridiculous wings, bodykits, neons and the fart cannon exhausts.

I have been searching for an ED grill in poly green for ages for a reasonable price, in the end I gave up and modified a EB grill and put it on.
I haven't decided whether it looks good or i've just wasted my time, what is everybody's thoughts?
Or should i just get the original ED grill?

That reminds me of a mates car, late model(99 or so) lancer, he's go 17's on it, thin spokes, but he's a tiny DRUM brakes on the rear. When i first saw that with him next to me, i couldn't stop laughing for about 5 min.

Cheers

PS. i will be putting a largish tickford wings sticker on the back of my AU. Do people think this is wrong???

Fair enough people do some silly things to their cars but get over it, its their car, they obviously like it, we should keep our opinions to ourselves.

Thats my 2 cents anyway.
I'm a drongo, drop kick, bogan wannabe too mate don't worry.......

Maybe some day I'll see the error of my ways and make my car the same as everyone else's again....... But for now I'll just have to settle on being different and making it want I want it to be.

I think its worse seeing a mouth watering GT-P that looks awesome only to realise someone has bolted on cheap-o after market chromies on it. Where's the justice, or all those nice brand new BA and BF XRs and GTs with crappy after market alloys, when the factory original looked better.

Yeah mate, it's the same for Commies aswell.

That's why I went with 18 inch VY SSs on my VL, rather then some dodgy aftermarket chromies.

Dear God that is a fair dinkum V8 Supercar spolier and rear diffuse, wonder if a side shot would show standard right height.

That reminds me of a VS in Bathurst with a mega Supercar inspired and suprise suprise standard ride height.
