11 Modifications We Want To See Die In 2016
“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:

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.

U MAD BRO ???
I agree with most of them but not with LB performance and RB. These widebody kits give cars more agressive look and makes it look sexy Im huge fan of these kits and I hope that They will be popular for whole time
Trust me, not all Americans like rolling coal.
Next, I thought I was the only person who disliked Rocket Bunny/ Liberty Walk. Plus, THEY DRILL HOLES IN FERRARIS AND LAMBORGHINIS! And when they are done, you have a bunch of bolts showing on your supercar.
And finally, while I approve of most LS swaps, the RX-7 is one car that should NEVER lose it’s engine. Except for a bigger rotary engine.
I don’t want to see any of these disappear
Don’t you dare ever say anything like that about rocket bunny and Liberty walk again
I love the whole wide body big spoiler kind of thing
SO BASCALLY LS WAPS TURN MAZDA RX7 INTO FKIN CORVETTES
i still like the corvette but somehow i almost got hate on it lol
i hope v8 rx7s dies and with them i think muscles cars with japanese engines should die too
example:2jz corvette,rb26 mustang,4g63 mustang(yup,some people had put evo engines in mustangs)
Because a boosted fwd Lancer, track-ready build totally makes sense right? Morons. I’d spend more on a turbo than the car is worth lol. I stanced my car because it’s what I could afford to do. I’ve been driving around on the same overly cambered suspension, and the same stretched tires every day for close to 3 years now. I’m still perfectly safe & sound, and my car is doing just fine. Believe me I check. Fking elitist pr*cks. The only thing that’s dangerous is people who don’t know what the fk they’re doing.
