Glossy Berger Panels
Black Mirrors (Camaro or Firebird)
Non-Power Antennas (of any kind)
Hardtops (their just pointless on 4th Gens)
Strut Tower Braces (pointless)
Non-Lowered cars
[/QUOTE]
ive got a bone to pick with you mark
-a clearcoated berger is easier to clean
-my STB may bot work, but it does add a little stiffness in the front and a nice look in the engine bay.
-sideviews are good gloss black.
-non power antenna, well im gonna get one half the stocker's size
-hardtop. well i would LOVE to have T-top, but i have to make due with what ive got until i can afford to covert it.
-non lowered. im gonna get the TSP TDs so the 4x4 rear has to stay

they are all really just opinions but very well agreed by most on here opinions. Revelation-there is no need to justify your car against this thread, it is your car, make the most of it in your eyes and if it helps, I love the color.
one more to add to the list that i havent seen yet, when the driver has his seat in "gangster" mode and can barely touch the steering wheel or the pedels because he is sitting so far back.

The "gansta"
position= retarded
Honestly, with the seat that far back, you can't react to an emercency situation and steer the car out of the way.

Clear Third Brake Light
Chrome Headlights (any type)
Halos (any type except the projectors)
ANY Corvette rims EXCEPT ZR1's and C5 Z06 rims...
Stinger Hoods
WS6 style hood on Camaros
New WS6 Style Hood on LT1 'Birds
LS1 Front End Conversions (what a waste, I personally like the way LT1's looked)
Any spoiler on a Trans-Am besides factory
Any spoiler on a Camaro that isn't an SS (of some style) or the 3 Piece (the little RS one or the big Dick Harrell/RK Sport one)... I hate the LG Motorsports/Freedom Design 1 piece.
Billet (non-painted) Grilles
Glossy Berger Panels
Black Mirrors (Camaro or Firebird)
Non-Power Antennas (of any kind)
Hardtops (their just pointless on 4th Gens)
Any non-factory or non-RK Sport GFX
Any Camaro Turnsignals that aren't the black housing ones
Trans-Am seats in a Camaro
Firebird/Trans-Am wheels on a Camaro (or vice versa, SS wheels included)
Painted interior pieces
Body Colored CAMARO fill ins
SMOOTHED/SHAVED Berger panels
ANY Rim with a ROUNDED lip :cough: ZO6 Motorsports :cough:
Strut Tower Braces (pointless)
Non-Lowered cars
PARTIAL Whistler Headlights (fawking hideous)
ANY CAR THAT BREAKS THE MODDING ORDER OF 1) Rims 2) Lower 3) Spoiler 4) Hood
Eh, that's enough ranting...

I hate carbon fiber interior pieces, flames on anything inside or out, colored wire loom under the hood, clear taillights, and those big black louvers over the back window mostly on 3rd gens. Otherwise, I love all f-bodies.

The only thing I don't like about F-bodies are some of the stock hoods from the factory.

Assumptions:
1. It's not an OEM option (front ends, power antennas, RS bodykit, etc)
2. No obvious rice mods (exhaust "cans", double wings, aftermarket bodykits, etc)
(note: Halos may be considered rice, but I do like the two-halos style although I realize that the rice call is reasonably justified. )
-
Windshield banners
Fake badges
Blacked-out or blackout covered taillights and headlights
WS6 hoods on Camaros
Headlight covers on 93-97 Camaros
Bowtie-shaped exhaust
Colored/mirror tint
< 30% tint on front windshields
TA bumpers with no exhaust tips filling the gaps
Dumped exhaust that hangs so low, it's visible from only a few yards behind
Tasteless paint schemes (IE: "CAMARO" on the side, look-at-me colors except SOM)
Interior overlays (real CF pieces > CF overlays)
Interior accenting (does NOT work well with our interiors, and only slightly better in TA interiors)
Rims bigger than 19"s (preferably 16"-18" for DD-only use)
Rims with RIVETS (Z06 motorsports!!!)
Rims that don't sit flush with the fenders and quarterpanels (and the stock offset sucks too!)
Wheels that don't fill the gap evenly (stock ride height or max lowering = sucks)
Clear corners on a non-white car (prefer them smoked)
FRCs that still say "Corvette" on them
All the kids that continue to buy f-bodies as they become older and more affordable, which further damages the reputation of f-body drivers and continuously degrades the average maturity of the drivers of our cars to levels closer to ricers
As you can see, only the "typical" stuff irks me. Hockey stripes aren't my taste, but they're fine. Don't care for painted "RAM AIR" or HP numbers, but that's cool. Want to CETA or Berger? Go ahead. But there is a level of balance that should be exercised when modding your car. And I'm sure 99% of us agree, which is why most cars aren't coming out as rice from factory (silly WRX STis).

WTF is wrong with some of you guys. For the most part we all agree euro tail lights are gay, but what is wrong with billet grills and clear corners. There's atleast 3 or 4 people that don't like them, how can you not like a billet grill it 100 times better than that gay black plastic crap gm put in there. Clear corners work for some cars but not all so that is debatable.
Now my list
1. Absolute biggest is 17+ wheels with 8.5 or smaller on the rear. For the love of god people if you are getting bigger wheels the absolute minimum for the rear is 17X9 with a 275 if you run anything less you have just completly ruined the car and might as well run it off a cliff.
2. any kind of aftermarket tail lights.
3.body kits
4.wheels with out some dish to them
5. painted interiors
6. people that post about spend hours/days cleaning there car and take pics but have dirty *** brown wheel wells. For the love of god people clean your wheel wells if they don't come clean or look black go buy some $2 rattle can black paint and paint those sob's.
7. big spoliers the only spoliers that should ever go onto a car is the SS or ws6.
8. flexable shorty antenas that are always bent over even when the car is not moving.
I'm sure there more but thats all I can think of at the moment.

LoL well I was going to add to the list but............seems everything I can think of is on here, so i'll say this some I agree with some for instance the freakin huge monster tach's wit hte shift light c'mon now....and its a stock car lol and so on. Anyhow I think all f-bodies look good if it's kept tasteful and not over done to the extreme! We all have opinion's on what looks good and what does not but something's just dont belong on a f-body period like the 4-ft nopi wings and so on.................
P.S. and if someone say's the sunoco hood i'll hunt you down like a pheasant and just release magnum (the dog) on your azz!!
