    Hindi naman useless car mod mga siguro yung mga yan... remedyo dahil either kulang sa budget, or sobra kakuriputan!
    Possible siguro its only a temporary fix lang on the headlamp lens.

    This might be a Fiat Punto located somewhere in South America possibly Brazil.

    Just found it on the other forum, baka useless car mods na rin [emoji38]

    Fortuner, Montero, Everest at Terra. Lahat yan may nasundan na ako sa EDSA. Sa sedan naman, yung isang direchong LED bar na singhaba ng trunk na kulay red at nagiging signal light din.

    i am curious,
    if one were to purchase this vehicle,
    would one take the trouble to remove this so-called 'useless' accessory, after purchasing the vehicle?

    Baka pwede naman disable na lang. All automotive lights have some sort of plug socket lang naman somewhere.

    This one is nice. Practical pa. No pretensions whatsoever with any fake badges, emblems and the like.

    As featured in autodeal.com, here they are:

    1. Dark-tinted lights
    2. Flashing brake lights
    3. Fake vents and scoops
    4. "Tuning chips"
    5. "Turbo" whistle

    Guilty or not guilty?

    How do you plead?
    If this is a campaign to rid of these useless, especially distracting ones, then I'm in.

    To answer the question, not guilty. Except for upgrading my head units, I keep everything else in stock form. Even my 13-yr old Mio (scooter), is all stock with all accessories working correctly.

    Hindi ba natatanggal pag umaandar na? Bumili ako pero hindi ganyan na makintab. Snug fit pero parang feeling ko luluwag pag matulin na ang ikot ng gulong.

    So far, no issues, but I've got spares. Useless mod anyway.[emoji4]

    Haha...thanks, but those are OEM mag type lugs. Can't do acorn for stock wheels. And yes, good eye there, brother....them rotors will see resurfacing once those pads are up. Got a spare set of EBC 7Kseries Greens in the parts bin.

    Love Akebonos, stock on the 3, but shifted to Redstuff...even cleaner w/ better bite, & at the time of purchase, cheaper.
    Hobo can't complain about the spare Greens. Got lucky...those 7k series were won from an EBC giveaway somewhere.[emoji120][emoji4]20220315_092458.jpg
    OT now, apologies.[emoji16]

    Good experience on the Akebonos. Good value din.

    Not guilty- but If you can consider this a "mod" its not a permanent one:

    Decades ago, when I was a new driver I bought one of those 300deg wide view mirrors that you clip onto your existing rear view. Wide view na, and it also had 2 smaller "satellite" mirrors on either side for blind spots. Kita talaga ang "buong Pilipinas" behind you with a glance, and it had a glare reduction coating which was good because untinted yung rear glass ko, and it was an ancient car that didn't have tilting setting for night mode.

    Sa bigat & laki nga lang niya, every time you'd go over a rumble strip, or hit a pothole at speed yumuyuko yung rear view, so you'd have to adjust it again.


    Nakakatawa nga lang to look back at that memory. Besides, with both left & right side mirrors as standard equipment on all vehicles now, they're not that useful na.

    in less than a week,
    i had already clipped onto the stock rear view mirror, the cheap slightly-curved rear view atermarket mirror.
    after many years, it is still clipped on.
    very useful, indeed.

    isa lang ang pintas ko,
    yung sasakyan sa likuran while driving slex. naka hi beam, and i don't have anti-glare function on it.
