Please accept my apology Silver Bullett, it was nothing personal against you or anybody else here. If they're done right like yours they look really good, but to see them stuck on a Ford Aerostar minivan, or a Civic, just makes me queasy. I guess my ardor was misplaced, and I'm sorry for any hurt feelings I may have caused.

So if I said that the mods I don't like are......Grey & Orange side Stripes, Pioneer DVD head unit, front tinted windows, door sills, white light bulbs.

You wouldn't be offended Right??

Hehehehe, of course I won´t! I love the art work of my HHR. A lot of people love it, and many don´t like that... Please add these mods that I have on my ride (cool for ones, tacky for others):

- Mud splashers (I installed it for the gravel on the roads)
- Wind deflectors (Usefull for rain)
- Side port holes (Useless, but for cool look)

I´m going to upload some pictures soon.

Splash guards aren't always for looks. They do serve a purpose, and they work well.

Or puddles. It keeps the car cleaner, and helps stop stone chips on the rear fender.

What do I find tacky?

Stick on scoops, stick on 'vents', fake lakewood pipes, visors, chrome wheel trim(of anywhere for that matter), when people paint stuff in the engine bay to match their cars, "piss on" stickers, rebel stickers, lambo doors, under glow, KC lights and bars (chuck norris truck)..my list could go on for pages.
