Over Accessorize!!!

Just a rant of mine. My concern is not being able to respond to posts honestly. I keep reading the "what do you think" posts, and biting my tongue (fingers actually). Why do people (actual members here) You know who you are!! Put everthing possibly made on there cars? Such as, Ventvisors, running board trim, hhr decals everywhere, ugly grills, chrome wheelwell trim, anything with 3M tape!!! Hood scoops, side scoops etc.. oh yeah replace your wheels with some cheap 15" rims that are on sale at Sears. I like the clean looks of my black 2lt loaded with the rear spoiler, running boards, 17" polished wheels, and lighly tinted windows. Am i the only one who thinks most people make their car look worse? I dont want the HHR to be looked at as the way the kids murder there civics and cavaliers. With coffee can mufflers, and flashing lights underneath.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder! What I do to my vehicle is for my eye not anyone elses. Do or don't do what you like best

It's all in how you say it!
I believe by what you've said so far, you have said it all!
We know you don't like all the modifications.

It's not the message that comes off as being 'harsh', it's how it's presented.

I mean it not to be harsh. In my younger days I "modified" my cars. I was just wondering if I am getting old, or do some agree?

Like I said Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Some of the accessories I like, some I don't

I believe it's GDZHHR that has made Bob's side pipes functional.

There are some sound clips posted somewhere. I don't recall who posted them thogh.

I like the lowered look you have, What kind of spings do you recomend. I will be leaving my stock 17"s on. Does anyone make just rear springs. I really just want to level it.
