10 Accessories That Make Your Car Look Stupid | Complex

Fellow Z owners, and anyone who is an enthusiast for awesome automobiles: please don't do any of these:

1. Tacky looking seat covers
2. Long eyelashes for the car headlights
3. Stick-on carbon fiber panels
4. Fake hood scoops
5. Car bras
6. Fake/Bolt-on exhaust tips
7. "Designer" interior add-ons
8. Fake fender vents
9. Clip-on spinners
10. Vanity shift knobs

Honorable Mentions:
11. "Balls" hanging from the rear bumper (This is juvenile, stupid looking, and makes you look like a D-Bag. Don't do this.)
12. Vertical/Lamborghini doors on any vehicle with more than two doors (Really? Just... Really!?)
Attachment 110221


If you guys have anymore to add to the list, or believe something should be taken off, I'd love to hear from you and your reasoning.

Keep in mind, this is not my list. Just a funny article I came across online, had a little giggle at, and thought I'd share.

How do you feel about lambo doors on the Z?

ArokhX 12-08-2015 03:17 PM

Well, I plan to get them installed on my Z sooner or later. So, yeah. I'm in favor for them on sports cars. The longer the doors, the more practical I think they are (like a corvette's doors).

Awesome. I think they look pretty great on the 370z. Something about the body and lambo's look great Imo.

I can't tell if you guys are serious or not...

Speaking of **** that makes you look REALLY stupid.... :facepalm:

Ommateal 12-08-2015 04:43 PM

I'm being serious. Don't know if i'll do it or not, but I don't think it looks bad, the 370z has a fairly exotic look in my opinion so it fits I think.

lol the hate is real

dP3NGU1N 12-08-2015 04:46 PM

Can I just point out the hypocrisy of your post? How do you reconcile the dichotomy of hating on 10 objectively more common, relatively cheap, mods that people use to make their car subjectively look better to saying "OK" to, quite possibly, the most widely accepted form of RICE (and thus, stupidity) ever?

I mean, you list your age as 35. Surely you remember the late 90s/early 2000s where the worst offenders were always kids with import cars with underglow and lambo doors. I suppose at 35, you're just old enough to be one of those kids. I was too young to afford my own car at the time (or drive). But surely you've out grown the trend by now....

Ommateal 12-08-2015 04:55 PM

Underglow and Lambo doors FOR LIFEEEEEE! Ahahahaha. Honestly I like both if the car is relatively tasteful in most areas. I could never hate on Anyone for liking Light-effects, cuz light-effects are cool. If it's a custom car or a custom computer. They rock.

Sorry, it looked like my response was directed towards you because my post came right after yours without any context. You seem to like everything - no big deal there. Can't say I share the same tastes but, hey, doesn't matter.

It's the "here's 10 stupid things opinion while I tell you how cool my stupid thing is" that makes OP's post hypocritical. I'm just curious how he manages the mental gymnastics necessary to navigate his points of what is considered stupid, and what isn't.

To each his own, dude. Bottom line, If you want something for your car, go ahead. These are just some of the things that more often then not will make other folks look at you like :wtf:

Might I also add that the link to the original article is included in my post? I didn't make the list, I just happen to agree with it. If you have beef with the items mentioned, then there's the link to follow. Debate your objections there.

I don't recall asking for your opinion, but it has been duly noted. If you disagree with me, then :gtfo2: This is not the forum for trolling or flaming.
