Agreed.

Chrome cig lighters

Beesting coloured ariels, some can look okish tho.

Huge spoilers

3 point harnesses in a car with standard seats (no prize for guessing it was a nova)

Anything with alloys(not standard ones) that isnt lowered.

jap tailpipes on anything but jap cars

Neons can look good if you get it right, no1 seams to manage that tho... But if i was gunna do it, it would be the last thing on my list.

And basicly anything thats a cheap was of trying to make somthing look like the real thing. (sticky imitation carbon fibre and all that shit)

I dont think mods can be called straight out tacky tho, its more about how well their done, and what other mods are on the car.

If that made sense to you, then your 10x smarter than i am.

-Poorly attached "racing" mesh,
(for example: strapped OVER the original grille)

-Stick-on (fake) airvents, bonnetbulges and tankcovers

-huge bodykits/spoilers featuring small wheels

-head/taillight screens

-tinting the side windows BUT not the rear (2 difficult)
