11 Modifications We Want To See Die In 2016

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.

Sorry but rolling coal is here to stay like it or not thats one of America’s proudest moments is the mastering of the diesel engine
Well, i think it is time to say it…I am sick of those posts like “Guess what kind of driver you are”, or “Which car culture you like the most”, i know don’t know the exact name, but something like that, if you are a car guy you can’t like just one thing about cars, you can’r like only JDM or muscle or something like that, I think you have to respect all of these, and it is time for these haters to get the hell out of car throttle… just saying, maybe I will be hated, but still, this is my opinion
This.
I agree with everything except 2 things, I think that detachable steering wheels like grip royal and nrg are pretty cool as long as you don’t over do it. Secondly stretched tires aren’t that bad unless you over do it to where you are risking your life every time you drive
THIS IS AMERICAN DAMMIT ILL ROAL COLL IF I WANT TO
One thing I hope dies in 2016:
You
Look at the drift cars of Driftworks (except the corolla, but all that S15s). They have stretched tires and crazy awesome fitment hat the rear and the cars are still can handle heavy dynamic driving. That argument is just not true for every case of strechted tyres or heavily lowered cars.
“Stop rolling coal” posts video of straight piped RX7
are you kidding me? you might as well say having custom rims is crap since the car is too riced out and not clean anymore
Stretched tyres, liberty walk and rocket bunny, slammed cars, big spoilers, and flame spitting is actually not that bad. It’s fine if not over done
