lambo doors. Kinda makes the suicide doors look dumb.

You want weirdest or worst? In a matter of opinion I think the after market spoilers are 99.9% horrible and body kits that look like they came straight from an anime show.

Apologize to anyone with the X-Men spoiler, but it looks like it fell off a damn pagoda.

Sorry, I meant to say it looks like it fell off Abe Vigoda.

But that definition might hold the key to why it is so stupa-ed looking.

I really think lambo doors are weird. Specifically when they're not on a lambo, and even more specifically when they're on a 4 door car.

I mean, to each their own and all the warm and fuzzy bs, but c'mon!!

I was never a fan of the billet grills or the chrome door handles.

billet grills on the 8, grill trim ring, lambo doors, eyelids are the worst in my opinion. Oh and 20" heavy chrome. If its tasteful in styles ala HRE or BBS then ok.

Any aftermarket mod that does not fit correctly is a little ugly, but that's just my .02. I don't mind them but at least they better be good quality stuff so it does not have gaps or hangs off the car so even the slightest wind makes it dance.

Also, HUGE wings are just silly...

I don't like the grill outline stuff but I do like the mesh grills...makes a car look tough! The right type that is.

AGAIN...don't mind me, that's just my personal taste...

Remember that pic you took of the RX-8 with the Princess decal? You should post that here.

Convertible RX-8. Weld the doors shut for rigidity so you have to raise the top with the remote to get in. I dunno, just pooped into my head... :confused:

Why would anybody want to change the appearance of their RX8? It's perfect just the way it is! :cool:

I hate Veritcal doors. I especially hate when I see some wigger F*ckbag on TV with a RICED out Civic NOPI Tunervisionmobile and he goes through his mod list and says "Lamborghini Door Conversion".

Hey stupid! Your car does not have the doors off of a Lamborghini. And even if they were REAL Lamborghini doors it would STILL BE GHEY!

NOPI picks some of the most trashed out riced out pieces of shit to feature on TV. I have yet to see them spotlight any really nice well balanced cars. I used to love watching that show, but how many more times are they going to pass by a TT 350Z with a REAL JDM body kit and $12,000 in wheels to show some pice of trash DIY painted dash bright orange Civic with ghey ass vertical doors?

F*ck that trash show the real cars.

Rant off.

good point, i could not agree with you more, you might be a bit more annoyed by it, but good point. I quit watching those shows a while ago. They only fuel these idiots a little more each time that kind of car gets some press coverage.

"Engine Start" buttons on a car with a key that has to be inserted in the lock. Talk about the stupidest mod ever.

The only time I've thought that Engine Start button was even remotely functional is when I test drove the new Mercedes CLS500 about 3 weeks ago. It's got the key you just leave in your pocket - you walk up and the doors unlock. You hop in and the "engine start" button on top of the shifter lights up and a message on the status center in the center of the dash cluster says "ready to start".

Now that's functional.

Not "pull key from pocket, insert in lock, turn to "on" position (stopping short of the "start" position), then move hand from key to start button and press "engine start".

That's NOT functional.
