Played Out/ Overdone

#1 08-12-2005, 11:42 PM

What are some trends in the car world that seem like they are done way to much? This doesn't mean that they aren't cool, just overdone, or "played-out."

1. WR Mica Blue Subaru's with Gold Rims
2. AEM $79.99 CAI's
3. Work Meisters (They are still really cool though)
4. Bride Seats (Another cool item, but open any tuner mag, and I will guantee you will see a dozen cars with Bride Seats)
5. Neon Lights (They just got Rice)
6. Yokohama Advan Rims: Gold
7. Color Change Paint (Played Out)
8. Honda Civics

Color Change paint is not played out at all. It needs to be done correctly though, not just shoot the entire car with chamelion(sp?) paint. Wheels in my opinion are the biggest played out thing on car's these days. When I'm driving around I'm like wow those are stock cool. Don't get me wrong aftermarket wheels are nice as long as their tastefull, and the wheels are not worth more than the car. Also, wheels sticking outside of the fenders (except on the cars that actually need that much traction). Tint too. Whatever happened to the days where the only tint you could get was black? none of this mirrored or colored shit. Cherry bomb mufflers, I pray for the day when I can go out and not hear that god-damned buzzing noise. And the biggest in my opinion is bass! Ok, I've got subs in my car but when I drive around you can't fucking hear them from like 20' away or in another car. When you go to an auto shop you should have to recieve approval before buying parts, if it's cheasy and makes your car look stupid, the employees should kick you in the nuts. Peace-

The problem is the employees themselves tend to be ricers. What about euro plates that have something in english written on them like "evosport", "neuspeed", or "promini". How about "JDM Gold" as a played out color.

Nitrous.

Ferraris

Blitz kits, pre-made exhausts, and after market rims.

They aren't played out b/c there aren't any here (save for about 150) People just think its way too good of a car, people there not that great. Yeah I know my name is SkylineMan, and its because I really like them, but I will be the first to tell you that and EVO, STi, and a FD are faster than a US converted GTR. Screw SRTs, b/c I know one of you (Andydg1) is gonna bring that up.

I couldn't agree more. The Skyline is and should be well respected, but so many think they are unbeatable.

They Aren't

Thank You. What about "Brembo's" another good peice but alot of people "such as myself" fall over themselves (myself) for them/

Nitrous is great I find it helarious when people think that they can just throw a tank in the trunk and put a nozzle in the intake manifold. Then put a purge system in and their engine "blows". Nitrous has plenty of applications just none of them rhyme with street. Also, how can you say a Ferrari is played out? Last time I checked they still make some of the fucking nicest cars in the world. Peace-

VTEC engines.

I'm can say that as I have one.

VTEC-the point at which your gutless car becomes normal.

Everyone wants a ferrari. Again, great car but overplayed. There are alot of great cars today that no one knows about because they are too busy drooling over a car that can't run any faster than a porsche that costs half as much.

Hey now...I wouldn't bring up an SRT(4) against a Skyline. But for the price you can't really beat it going with a new car. The Cobalt is pretty nifty though.
