First one I vote for is tinted license plate covers. If they're illegal to put on the car then why is it legal to make and sell them in the store? Tinted head lights should also be illegal. At first I thought that those aftermarket "wings" should be made illegal but they help to identify some of the idiots. Yep, a big a$$ wing on a Kia Sepria is going to make you fly.

Yeah, tinted license plate frames are ridiculous. But Im curious why you thought a big rear spoiler would be illegal???

I don't, it was a joke. Although I did see one diy wing that was a safety hazard, especially when it came apart as it was "flying" down the road. I do wonder why some areas have made lights under the car illegal? If anything, they make the car more visible.

I once saw a small car with a huge muffler pipe. I took a closer look and saw he had tack welded a polished metal pipe onto the muffler. He didn't even bother to remove the original muffler exhaust pipe.

Those things bust up my eardrums with that thundering bass. But i guess i can always just step away from the car, right? No! You can feel it from a half mile away!!!!!!!! You can't feel this://www.city-data.com/forum/great...-outlawed.html from anywhere near that distance, BTW.

You are so full of sh%t as you do not know what you are talking about again. I have a pair of 6 and a half inch Bazooka tubes with a small amp. You can barely hear them from outside of the car. A half mile away, are kidding me? For one thing, I do not turn them up with the windows down anyways. I have respect for people around me, unlike you. You are such a hypocrite. You will smoke cigarettes around people, making them sick, but then complain about someone who has a custom stereo or exhaust in their car. You really need to get a life.
