Rear wings on a stock car with a stock muffler. I've actually seen one na nilagyan ng rear wing yung kotse nya na may rear spoiler already.

the biggest waste of money are the modders who spend tens of thousands to fix up their ride just the way they want it - go-fast parts, rims and suspension, body kits, sound systems...and once it is finished, magsasawa na sila (or they fall in love with a new model) at ibebenta nila yung car + parts for huge losses. then the vicious cycle begins again (usually this time with a more expensive car).

some of these guys are rich and can afford to throw away money. the others are literally mortgaging their future.

Gawin mo lang ricey yung oto mo instant waste of money na yun

buy the base model of any car of your choice and then upgrade it to match or even improve on the features and specs of the top of the line model using high-end parts & accessories. don't forget to have it repainted & modified later ala pimp-my-ride :2thumbsup:

Getting a set of body kits that is too low that you get a gash or dent over the smallest of bumps hence you need to get repairs done nearly every week

Also, body claddings :nono: what a waste IMO!

Using higher octane gasoline believing it will improve your car's performance but in reality it doing nothing more than a regular octane gas

1)free-spinning chromed mags
2)performance gauges on a stock engine car.
3)performance muffler on a stock engine car. Tunog lata or tricycle tuloy.
4)emblems and stickers that "show off" the would-be modifications done to your car. Lagay ka lang ng Ralliart sticker or Type R or TRD na emblem automatic HP gain na yan.
5)putting racing tires on a stock engine car.
6)neon underglow sa chassis ng auto. Ano yun, courtesy light?
7)overkill na sound system na kinabitan ng sang damukal na speakers to the point wala nang pwedeng ilagay na gamet sa trunk.
8)"performance" oil cap
9)"performance" shift knob
10)pag sadya na magkabit ng side mirror turn signal light(yung nakakabit sa assembly sa banda ilalim) kung mayrun naman nakakabit na fender light. Eh di hamak na mas visible sa othe motorists ang fender light kaysa yung sidemirror signal light.
11)pag spray paint ng rear drum brakes para match sila sa body color ng auto.
12)"performance/racing" steering wheel on a stock car. Na compromise pa ang safety mo dahil no airbag.
13)LED na naka kabit sa water spray sa hood.
14)pagkabit ng tow hook. Mayrun nang tow hook na stock ang lahat ng mga auto natin.
15)exterior chrome garnishings. It makes the vehicle look old.
16)rear wing na akala mo madali sumipa ng 180kph para gumana ang effects ng wing.
17)strutbar on a stock engine car. Do you really feel the difference? Not unless your auto is belting out some serious lateral G's.
18)gas saving devices. Too many to mention.
19)tilt down plate holders. Not only do I think it's stupid, it's also illegal.
20)Tinted plate holders. Illegal din. And what do you need the tint for? To protect your license plate from the harmful UV rays?
