The whole stripes on a BA-BF XR6/XR8 thing has been done to death as well. I'm not a fan.

"Sig Erson Cams" stickers.
GTR-XU1 stickers on nearly every LC & LJ Torana, even 4 door ones too! I remember one sticker that i had on the back window of the XB GT coupe in the 80's that every one wanted but only a small minority could get...... "FALCON GT club of Australia" Last edited by Pinkbits; 21-05-2009 at 09:02 PM. |

Bubble windows -
I had black plastic ones on both sides plus rear barn doors of my XC GS Panel van - very cool Murals - most Holden vans had painted murals but there were magnetic murals available for that l'ess permanent' look. They were about 500mm x 300mm in size shaggy/fluffy cloth material - adhered to the complete dash, rear parcel shelf plus all over the console. If money wasnt an issue, it was all velvet.

Gabriel pump up air shockers on the rear - gave the illusion the front was extremely low but was a real horror when cornering fast.
a P.A. speaker under the bonnet attached to a CB radio so you could speak to those chicky babes walking along.  :

i absolutely hate it when people have stickers on their windscreens saying
FORD NISSAN HOLDEN oh my god, lucky those stickers were there! i was struggling to tell that 180sx from that commodore over there! honestly the most obnoxious and riciest fad i can think of short of cardboard body kits

Putting a "big bore" exhaust on VN's VP's etc
Usually consisted of cutting the resonator off and fitting a 3 inch pipe, made the car sound like poo. |

 : I'm guilty of a few of these. I do love my pop up sunroof on the ute. And my fluffy dice. I'd have to say Cannons on 4cyl cars have become a staple.

There's 4 things that really irritate me, 3 already mentioned from what I read...
The southern cross (a.k.a. bogan) stickers, every p-plater ricer has one. There's nothing wrong with being proud/patriotic on a general level, it's simply doing this kind of action in excess, to the point that it becomes a bother and superfluous. The big bore exhausts making that drone-like noise on 90's commies (I don't know how I even tolerate a certain VR/VS ute up the court next to where I live going up and down almost every day, making that same terrible note...). 5 inch dumpies/cannons on 4 bangers also come in the same category. The people that drive these things fail at life in general. The 'jetpilot' sticker. To all the tools with one: It's a car, not a damn jet. Fourth would be the fake chrome hubcaps. I think they reached a whole new level of visual pollution with these supercheap auto items EDIT: Apologies if the last one had been mentioned earlier in the thread by anyone. Ok, read the whole thing... I gotta ask, what's wrong with dragways??? I know they're a thing of the past, but they are tough on the right kind of car IMO  As for hornet scoops, I only see a few cars still getting around with them, but it has to be said that they also suit certain cars to a tee.

Yes, that was a fad, and rather a regrettable one.

 may become a new fad. saw it at bathurst last year. the owner blacked outt he lion and stuck the ford logo on top. the rear had the same treatment plus added masking tape of the commodore and omega ps not shopped at all. except for the blanking out the number plate because i dont know the owner of the car. |

Spinner rims, stick on fuel cap lids, fake dual exhausts, cutouts of bumpers for mesh, retrofitted xenon headlights on cheap cars (they don't have projection lenses and therefore are just ultra bright), monster rims on cars with around 200mm diameter disc rotors and single pot calipers; not a mod but I hate Camry's with a passion (or the fine motor skills within whenever one of these suburban eyesores is encountered).
