5 Stupid Car Mods You Should Never Do !
The car modifying scene have really evolved over the years, one could think times of ricers and boy racers ruining cars are long over.. sadly no.
Cut Springs
I would've thought that this is a no brainer, unfortunately no, as I've seen dozens of these wallowing caskets on wheels at various car meets. Seriously, almost any modern cars suspension has been meticulously engineered to provide optimal amount of grip, stability and comfort, so for god sake dont ruin thinking that you and your mate to ruin it with a bloody angle grinder.

If you want your car lowered, don't be a cheap-a** and shell out the 150 quid that a set of lowering springs costs these days.
Wiper Delete
Everytime I see a 'Kill all wipers' sticker I fell both a little sad and embarrassed to be part of the car community. It literally does not improve a car in any way, and can seriously ruin your visibility in poor conditions.
I genuinely cannot understand how someone could think it would be a good idea to remove their ability to clean their rear window, especially given the weather in the UK.
Smoked tail lights .
While I will admit that the the wiper delete has certain visual appeal to itself, the smoked tail lights look absolutely abysmal no matter what car they are applied to, even worse so they make every car appears as if thou they belong to a bloke name Liam from the council estate, whose long life career is a benefit receiver and a small time drug dealer in a 10 year old Corsa with smoked tailights.
Matt Black everything
While I admit that a few matt black cars had me stop for a few longing looks, (Audi R8 I'm looking at you, you sexy bastard). Unfortunately certain individuals ( usually wearing Adidas track suits, and Burberry hats), thought that if it looks great on a supercar, it will surely fit their banger hatchback... yeah it does not STOP IT.
Car Bras
I will admit that until researching bits for this article I've had no clue what the hell those are, and given their very specific name I've had no idea how to look them up. Turns out that these pieces of usually black material that ruins the hood of any car it ends up on, has been around since the 1950's originally designed to help protect the paint work from stone chippings.
I suppose people who use this are also the people who leave the protective foil on the sofa, 5 year after the purchase.
Whats a car mod that you cant stand ? Let us know down below, if there is enough suggestion we will do a part 2 !

Excessive negative camber. That beats all of these.
That black material thing is a Bra LOL. You are correct, they are stupid. Not only do they look stupid; but while protecting the paint from chips they hold moisture in contact with the paint and completely destroy the hood. I worked at a body shop in the early 90's and saw where many people wrecked their cars. 😂 it made the shop alot of money though.
I was wondering what sort of effect it has on the paint if kept on all the time but I was a little too lazy/tired to look it up, thanks for the info !
You can have clear film applied to the front of your car to help prevent stone chips and make bug cleaning easier.
I'm surprised gold wrapping wasn't one
Hmm I might do a part 2 partially filled with comments suggestions !
And it's not just gold mind you it's just chrome and chrome colours in general.
Also can we address blown out tires and "stance"? That shit needs to go for the safety of others.
Good call, although I feel like stance is slightly dying down, plus I'm all for stance and camber so long so its only for show and not used on the road.
Yeah for show it works. I live in Vancouver and I see people driving around in the rain with stance and blown out tires to a ricer degree. It's very frustrating. They also drive like it's dry with perfect grip. -_-
All rather awful but the eye lashes are the worst
But is that even a mod ? That's just like um stupidity and usually done by not enthusiasts.
Well, it's changing the way a car looks, so yes it is a mod
