I straight piped my RX-7 with flex pipe from O'Reilly's after the mufflers rusted off, drilled holes in the air filter cover for more "airflow," and had blacklight LED's illuminating the subwoofer... at least I calculated the resistor values so they'd run on 12v before the days of automotive LED replacement bulbs. 😆

[@SoulTouchMusic93]

@Markus Patients dude I got a shit box Honda and the number of bolts that come from the factory on that car is already small how can you lose any more and still have a car? I had to take the door card off because when I brought it it came with 2 extra bolts, a cube of foam and a broken driver window. It wouldn't open. Apparently that is because the crane lifting the window is broken, so the dealership unscrewed the window and stuck a pvc pipe in there to hold it closed. And the pipe won't let the foam cube designed to stop rattles fit anymore, so they stuck an old sweatshirt in there.

[@justinbuice]

My first car was a 1995 Pontiac Sunfire. Metallic pink. YUCK. I decided to spray paint the car lime green like Paul Walker's Eclipse. It turned out just how you would think spray painting a car in the hot sun in front of your parent's house would turn out. Eventually I got sick of the green and decided to go matte black, but this time with a roller and a gallon of outdoor house paint. Now this was actually pretty sweet because if I ever got a door ding in a parking lot, I would just open what was left of my gallon paint can, and paint right over the scratches. Eventually I saved up enough money to get a "professional" paint job from Maaco and the car got rear ended a week later.

Back in the 1970s, we had a kid in my high school paint his car with a paint roller. It actually looked fairly good. It hid a lot of the rust and was a more even color than kids who painted their cars with cans of spray paint.

i remember of stripping my interior with intent to put a cage and custom panels and then realised my budget didnt allow for it, but the damage was already done.

[@BlueFangbluser]

Don't think I did anything in this list that I remember, but the dumb things I'd do were convincing myself it's faster than it is. Like "yeah it's mostly stock, but I did put shorty headers on it, and I am using a k&n filter (not even full intake just the filter) so like if I were to line up with a normal stock version, I'd probably pull out ahead, the handful of things totally help my fuel efficiency as well and I'll tell people that even though I didn't actually measure my efficiency before"

I'm guilty of some of these for sure! But my worst was not even mentioned!... Bad aftermarket stereo installation. Because, why pay a pro to do it when you can do it yourself? right?

[@caseysgarage5991]

I've seen enough pros do it to not want them touching my car. Then again, I've also seen some really cringy driveway installs too. It really depends on how much time you want to put in it

[@bryaneekelder8267]

Depends on how you install it mate:) I've pulled the trim off and tucked all wiring behind trim or other interior parts to where you can only see wire in the trunk, running from headunit to amp and amp to sub.

[@autovice]

@@caseysgarage5991 I agree. I've taken my car to some "pros" and they do more harm than good. But I am guilty of some pretty bad driveway installs in my younger days. I guess that's how you learn sometimes.

[@autovice]

@@bryaneekelder8267 Sounds like a clean install. After a couple of installs I feel like I got the hang of it. Now when I buy an old beater that has a bunch of bad stereo work, the first thing I do is tweek out on it and re-do the whole thing.

Plasti dip is huge now a days. If done correctly can be very nice and just as good as vinyl wrap. The plasti dip you showed was garbage and can tell it's way to thin of a layer. Go check out Dipyourcar.. you'll be shocked that it's all plasti dipped

[@BlackenedBullet]

Yeah I was about to say, plastidip didn't come and go at all. It only gets more and more popular. Great way to cheaply change the look of your car. You'll always have those people that didn't do it right.

regular plastidip wont work, they sell "blasted metal" in the car isle at walmart which is a stronger more rubbery form of plastidip specifically for the wheels. Mines lasted forever and only has a bit of chip and scratches where i hit the curb. You can reapply regular plastidip on top if you want a different color

[@higherwrldsprodction2955]

never found cutting springs to be an issue. Did it on my miata and did on my mazda 3. No issues what so ever. Granted i cut less than what i thought i should to be safe

my 17 year old is talking about all the mods she wants to do to my old Civic. When I ask why she hasn't fixed the broken parking brake lever or the broken sunshade ($20 parts at the junkyard) she says, "What? Do I look like I'm made of money?" The cheap ass aero body kit, without lowering springs or any engine modifications is just going to be a disaster. Whatever. You don't give cars to teenagers and expect them to come out in one piece.
