    Tuning or customizing a car to your taste is great. These fads aren't.

    Whatever you do, forget the following ten options for improving your ride:

    10.) Gigantic Custom Sound Systems


    9.) Murdered-Out Treatment

    Ok, so this Lincoln is kind of cool, but when everything from Rolls-Royces to Elantras get murdered out, it just gets ridiculous. Also, Buckus is right, they are unsafe at any speed:

    Almost rear-ended some asshat with blacked out taillights because I couldn't tell his brake lights were on.


    8.) Clear Rear Lights -
    What looked good an a Lexus IS200 or a Mazda 6 wagon doesn't necessarily work on your Civic.
    7.) Landau Roofs

    6.) Gold Emblems

    5.) Chrome Fender Trim

    4.) Spinners

    3.) Roll Call



    2.) Underglow

    Well, you could say that you're from Tokyo. Otherwise, just don't.

    1.) Massive Race Wings

    Need more downforce? Grab a burger and some liquidized sugar. It'll work better than this.

    May those car fads be forgotten. The closest I ever got was back in the early 90's when I installed 4 subs where my rear seat was rendering my sedan before a two-seater. It was a stupid idea borne out of youthful fancy. I would never do it again.

    May client brother ko na gumastos ng 1M for the sound setup that they worked on for 2 months kasama na yung pag antay ng parts orders kasi ilalaban sa car show.

    During the car show, one inexperienced judge closed the doors and windows to test the sound setup. Ayun, lumipad yung windshield sa unahan at sa likod

    Bayad pa tuloy siya

    I do have underglows on my car. Pati sa loob ng auto sa ilalim ng mga upuan at pedals. I find it cool naman. My reason, to distinguish my car from the others. For me, para kasing ang boring ng car pag dami mo kaparehas at plate number lang ang pinagkaiba nyo.

    and that's the thinking behind the whole car customizing culture

    and that's exactly why there's an aftermarket parts industry

    Usually nagpapabaduy sa isang modification is pag ginagaya na ng mga nasa public transpo. However, I doubt na makakakita ako ng jeep na naka Hella Flush.

    Reverse/back up alerts that scream out-of-tune classical music should be banned
