+1 haha when i started blacking out all the chrome, my mom was mad like 'wtf why would you want to ruin such a beautiful car?'


OTOH, debadging my trunk made me hella mad cause it looks terrible cause of the really obvious mark where the letters came off, no amount of adhesive remover/wax/back-to-black can get off gonna have to repaint in the near future...

When I originally saw this thread I thought it would be a little more informative and useful than ppl describing their debadging experiences

Not hating on that, but it would be nice to hear about what real mods to stay away from.
Eg. Grounding kits for 6mts, Pulleys, etc.

^ Like I said in my original post, I wasnt trying to hate or discredit debadging as a mod or not (which really can be a debate in itself, is ripping plastic chrome off your trunk to be considered a real mod? - that's another subject and can quickly derail the OP's intent for this thread.)

I'm sorry that your mom got upset at you.

My only point was to mention that I hope that others will add real mods that affected performance/major look/safety, which could turn this thread from purely entretaining to actually informative.

That's all, didnt' mean to offend anyone previously

i agree its not really a legit performance oriented mod lol (well, except for all that weight saving & aerodynamics you get when you debadge)
anyways, back to the subject...

+1 on the HELLA supertones pissing people off! (only when they deserve it) im about to order another set to **** them off even more ahahaha

I'm sure my neighbors don't like the loud rumble of my car starting up every morning.

And I doubt the people driving behind me like smell of my fumes due to my ART pipes.

Pressing in compression rod bushings vs replacing entire rod in an effort to save money made me mad because it didn't fix my issue. Ended up buying two new rods that are awaiting to install..


On a side note, my car makes my wife mad because she thinks it "breaks" alot but it is the only way to upgrade my stock parts
