Well, that's just how it is. Cars in Mexico are regularly tuned(?) this way. It doesn't make anymore sense than the crazy Japanese rigs with all thelights on them. Cool to look at but weird as well. Mexico prolly see our way of fixing up a car stupid too. Silly? yes should we judge? no.

True, but I see a lot of hispanics (mainly Mexicans) who put Japanese or Japanese-looking stuff, and all kinds of lights on their cars, while I have yet to see any white or asian people putting their last names in giant, old english letters or a virgin mary on their back window (trust me, I see that a whole lot.)

Yeah, I would have to say that the worst type of advertising is the type people do with a language they don't understand. Not to be bashing on the Hispanics (mainly mexicans I would assume, but could be wrong), but Japanese/Chinese letters on your car does not make it look "cool." Huge APC stickers are another way to cheapen the look of your car. I really wish I would have had my camera friday night b/c their was an electric orange 94ish Accord with a generic fart tip (you could see the clamps holding it up, 15s( haha), and 2 huge pictures of Mary on the side of the car. Not to forget the hood scoops they stuck on either.

Gotta love AutoZone, Advanced or Pepboys! haha................If you see a sticker you want to put on your car at any of those stores, DON'T!....If you are a sponsored car, then I could understand having certain manufacturer labels and vinyls on your car.

I guess, if you wanted to kind of "fit in" that crowd of badged up cars, then get stickers from the manufacturers you actually have parts from. Don't get an Injen sticker when you have an Ebay special. And most important, we've all seen the Mustang GT-R video, don't get a badge that represents absolutely nothing about your car! I would have loved to see that tC "Type S."............

If I remember and have my camera, I'll get a picture of this 92 Camaro on a monster lift with 35 inch tires on it. It looks like it'll do awesome in the snow, and I kind of like it, but it's still weird to see. It belongs to the owner of a 4x4 shop. haha

there's a few good ones about 15 minutes from where i live.................a lot of them used to come into AutoZone where i used to work and buy all their "performance" parts from there. It was hilarious trying to guess what they were coming in for and 9/10 times it was for either a put together intake, or stickers. Gotta love 'em.

For the love of God, I thought I had seen it all but a Ford S4 hu... why in heaven's name would anyone in their right mind do such a thing. Now I could see someone with a Ford wanting to try to make it look like an Audi but the other way around, why not just buy the real thing and save oneself some $$$$????????

I thought the same thing. I talked to the guy and he seemed to know his stuff. So I dont know what he was thinking. I wish you could read his list but it turned out to bright. This guy had ALOT ALOT of money into the FODI.
