You would of thought that those fads died out by now. But I still to this day see alot of people driving around with that crap on their cars.

Fart can mufflers, Spinners, stick on vents, add-on chrome trim, chrome wheels on sports cars, bumper stickers (including stick on vents), chrome tail lights, unpainted parts on a vehicle, people who have "NOS radiator fluid" and stick NOS stickers on the car. I am picky... I see alot of sh*t that just looks like crap and makes me cringe.

the stick on vents for fenders is really stupid looking. The new Infiniti QX56 has vents (don't know if they're functional or not) but they NEVER looked good/cool.
