Is it me, or is the term, "played out" Played out? If it's what someone wants on their car, it's because they like it. Not because it's the popular thing. Just my .02.

I think owning a LSx powered car is pretty played out on this site.

I think most of the appearance mods we do on our cars are now "played out". Berger,Ceta, ss hood/spoiler, sonuco's, all types of rims etc etc. We have seen them so much on here that after a while they all look the same to you but as long as you are pleased with the way your car looks, then who cares.

who cares! our cars have been around for so long that, every appearence mod has been done, so of course everybody elses car is giong to look the same as somebody elses. If you dont want to look the same then throw a fucken massive bodykit on and some 20s with a huge *** aluminum spoiler. till then every car on here is going to look like another.

Agreed, other than my own, I've only seen one other one on the road with the berger mod.

The average "joe" has no idea what a "Berger" panel is??!! Can't begin to count the numerous compliments on my car and my "black" panel on the back of it..

Maybe they are played out to you.. to each his own..

my.02.. worth about as much as yours.

We all think every does these modifications but in real life (in town, at least mine) you dont see very many at all.
in fact i have never seen a berger panel at all in person, and ppl always say that corvette wheels on a camaro or firebird is to common.. I have seen only three f-bodys with them in my town (2 of tehm were mine and my brothers)

These so called "popluar" mods are very 'played out' on the forum here, but realistically driving around town I have only seen maybe 2 or 3 other camaros with the berger panel other than myself, and same with the T/A's and the CETA panel.

Also, I agree with everyone in the fact that do what makes YOU think YOUR car looks good. It's as simple as that.

Besides 6LiterEater, I don't think anyone has really come up with any "new" apperance mods for our cars in quite some time. Its just a matter of whether you've seen it before or not.
