11 Modifications We Want To See Die In 2016

We asked you guys to tell us which modifications you want to see die in 2016. Here are the most popular - and most controversial - answers

“You bought an RX7, the whole point of it is the rotary motor. And now it’s just a Chevy” - SkylineDom

Check out the video above… Matt Farah doesn’t agree with this one!

Is your Honda excessively loud? Do your doors open upwards? Do you own a detachable steering wheel? If you answered yes to all of these questions, you’re probably a ricer. From all of us here at CT, we beg of you, please stop ruining perfectly good cars.

We have to agree with one commenter who summed up the excessive camber craze rather succinctly:

“This crap has to stop” - the Stig’s German cousin

When Engineering Explained explains why a modification is a bad idea, you have to sit up and listen.

Rocket Bunny and Liberty Walk kits were pretty cool when they first arrived on the scene, helping to give some of our favourite supercars some serious aggression. Unfortunately, the tuning scene went a little in mad in 2015, throwing RB and LW kits onto everything. When almost every car at SEMA has riveted fender flares, you know that the trend has jumped the shark.

Chrome wrapping is another modification that has been tragically overdone in 2015. Just don’t tell Ethan…

We love a low riding car, but only when the lowered ride height helps to improve the car’s dynamics. Slamming for the sake of aesthetics needs to be banished to Room 101.

Spoilers serve a useful purpose on a 1000bhp hypercar. They make less sense on a 100bhp front-wheel drive econobox. Unfortunately the trend of throwing huge wings onto underpowered cars has been around for decades, so we don’t see it dying off any time soon.

2015 was the year of the flame spitting Lamborghini Aventador. After seeing a million videos of supercars pointlessly revving in central London, we’d be happy to see this trend die in 2016.

A modification that sounds cool in theory, but looks seriously cheap and tacky in reality.

The fact that this is even a thing still astounds us. Please stop it, America.

But I thought ricer culture died in 2009 alongside EMO kids? The only riced cars we see today are the relics of a bygone age…
