Today's Community Question: Which modifications do you want to see die in 2016?

The automotive community is a supportive network of car guys/girls where acceptance for each other’s rides is key. But there are some modifications which are so overdone and so heinous that we finally have to say ‘enough!’

Personally, I can’t wait to see the end of the RWB Porsche craze. For some, Nakai-san’s flared and riveted body kits are sacrilegious, for others, they’re hand crafted pieces of art. But one thing’s for sure, there’s now too damn many of them! SEMA has effectively turned into the RWB owner’s club, and it has to stop.

I think we should start a new campaign called #savetheaircooled993s. Granted, it’s not particularly catchy, but surely it’s a worthy cause.

So CTzens, we want to know, which modifications grind your gears? Let us know!

Audi rims on volkswagens

To much camber, fart cans and stupid wide bodies

Oversized spoilers which has no technical advantage!

I agree

I am not sure if RWB could die, since this guy Akira Nakai San was doing a stuff like this for whole years it is nothing like a trend for me. I know that it just looks crazy but if you look how they are actually racing these cars in Japan you will find out it has got some purpose. There is nothing wrong with this kind of upgrades if it is done right and with well choiced components as Nakai do.

Honestly… LibertyWalk its just that it looks pathetic, and they make exotic supercars look cheap

I disagree, just because in my opinion, liberty walk kits make supercars look more aggresressive

Rocket bunnys and big rear vings for fwd cars

Any bagged supercar, widebodied supercar, flame spitting mods on supercar, any kind of wrap on any car (except the swagon)

Oh yeah, and showcars that look like racecars, but arent used as racecars

True, that is way too true

So even this rally car in my cousins garagr has to go? Wraps can look nice too!

So wrapping a car in a solid color should go? Nothing wrong with wrapping man

None. Everyone likes something different.

Camber, Hellaflush, and everything impractical

What about all the impractical super/sports/hypercars?

I agree. Modifying a car use to be about function and then FORM. Now some form before function is OK… But I feel it is all FORM and very little function. We are now just tuning things to be tuning them. It’s like someone got bored and said “I think we tried everything else, so let’s change this just because no one hasn’t yet even if it doesn’t make sense.”
