Dude, the stock exhaust sucks ***. The square Z28 tips and T/A tips look terrible, it sounds terrible, and is way too quiet. Any type of aftermarket exhaust(even a flowmaster) is a step up from OEM.

There was a kid by me who has a White V6 '98+ Camaro...
He put on a body kit, a strobe light show inside, a neon light inside his hood scoop, & worst of all he put on Z/28 Badges! Freakin terrible!

I've seen several people hating on the billet grille....I'm confused here, it looks 10000000x better than factory plastic crap, and its about the only way us unfortunate people who "must" have front plates can make the car look half-way decent. So in theory, you don't really hate billet grilles, you hate the government

I think 19" and 20" wheels are too big for f-body's. These are muscle cars and that should be left to the ricers and trucks!!

Enough about the cars. What about F-body owners who don't know squat about their own cars? Also people who put DUBS on their car to join a car club. LOL!

- Mirror tint
- Stock 16's on an otherwise modded car
- Cheap decals, and lots of them
- Skinny rear tires (275's min!)
- Rear wheels sunk into the quarter, get the right offset or get a spacer
- ZO6's on Firebirds
- Those cheap interior kits from eBay
- Plastic floor mats
- Non-lowered and otherwise modded cars
- All black wheels
- Halos
- Cowl hoods on Camaros (the square ones)
- LS1 style WS6 hoods on either LT1 T/A's and LS1 Camaros

Thats all I have.

- stupid.

The thread topic is what you hate seeing people DO to f-bodies (IE: mods). Moldings, t-tops, and stock whatever comes like that from factory, so some of you need to quit being a bunch of whiny morons trying to vouch for their car.

Word! I hate anything other then stock or darkened lights. I hate those euro or japanese ones. I don't know how to explain them.

I don't like seeing old ladies drivin these cars around. I like the bad *** reputation F-bodies have for the most part.

I feel the need to repeat:

BILLET GRILLES (in plain aluminum or chrome) SUCK!

Yes, I'd rather see the stock plastic... I personally don't like mods that stick out like a sore thumb on a car and billet/chrome grilles UNLESS YOU PAINT THEM (black, charcoal, etc...) don't flow with the car

At the very least paint the inside of the bars black and leave the face poilished, looks a little less cheap...

For me (not to offend, but)
1. Oversized wheels. 19 is (my) the new size limit....I've seen some surprisingly good looking wheels on fbodies at 19".
2. Cloning......for any reason.
3. Overbadging (and I'm not really a fan of de-badging, but I'll like it if its done tastefully).
4. Things done that make it look like rice (ie: reflecting tail lights, fart cans....cmon...not many cars that have the opportunity of having a real exhaust note!), especially wild spoilers, glow in the dark paint, and lowering it to a crawl.
5. Over-bling. Some is ok, but too much is blinding to the sight, and could cause some embarrassment when parked next to other excellent cars.
6. Edit: Missing grills. Fill it with something, or at least have the holes bondo-ed and re-paint the area.

Some of the best looking fbodies I've seen have been the ones that did not pretend to be anything but chevy or ponitacs....and not all of them have been squeaky clean as well.
