There has been quite an amount of fads over the years, weither or not they became a trend or history, where attractive or hideous, what are some of the automotive fads you remember?
Here are some i can think of

8k+ HIDs in halogen housings

 

My 8ks in the halogen housings blind the hell out of people. Its hilarious

 

13 and 14 inch deep dish wire wheels, huge rolled exhaust tips, neon windshield nozzles, bumper to bumper vinyl graphics, and to top it all off... cut springs on steel wheels with no hub caps

 

calvin peeing on "insert brand here"

Once saw a Toyota pickup with Calvin Peeing on Ford Peeing on GM Peeing on Dodge. Was like a waterfall.

 

LoL that's actually funny! Here where I live, the bubba trucks still rock those calvin pee stickers...

 

Yeah dude, hilarious.

anyone remember two tone silver/black tint?

 

The homies still have the two tone tint here LoL

 

Stillen lip.

 

WELL **** HOW ABOUT JUST ANYTHING AFTERMARKET IS A FUCIKING FAD!

 

Low/slammage and stance seem to be the big things right now. It's nice to see something like that being a trend as opposed to something stupid and ricer (ahem altezzas and fart cannons).

 

Says the man with all these things

 

indeed

im guilty to follow the bandwagon as well if i like something

 

stickerbomb-ugly as hell 99% of the time.

i dont follow 'fads'
i just do what i like-it my phuckin car

 

BISHES BE HATIN ON MUH BANDAIDS





SN: minitrucks arent a fad, its just like any other automotive 'modding' its their own section. i'm defending because i'm an ex minitrucker...never got into bags i was only static, but the time and work they put into it

 

chrome91

 

i forgot about those led windsheild nozzels hahaha
i remeber people would get pulled over for that crap

also remember a fad can evolve into a trend... it dosent nessicarily have to be an ugly thing of the past like metal spoilers.

 

it's not my fault you can't fix your boo boo! lol! stop wrecking it. lol. ain't saying nothing wrong with the band aid. it beame a fad so watch who ur calling a b!tch sir!

 

when i said bishes i meant nothing derogatory by it was a general saying not meant to you specifically, and you know nothing about my financial situation/unemployment at the time this occured so as far as CANT fix it, right now its a matter of when as i'm now thinking if i should (while i gather other parts to get painted) or shouldnt, as this has become MY staple locally and on this forum as what people know me by.

 

Stick on Speedholes/Buick Vents

Lack of BBK with large rims, mostly large SUV, suburbans with 26 look ridiculous with stock brakes

Purple/Pink or Blue lights that are a haze and or fog, those are not headlights

 

 

 

lol i gota agree i'm still trying to figure that one out

 

re-read what you wrote. When you refer to any post starting with " Bishes are gonna hate on muh band - aids"

I was the only one that brought up the band-aid thing. I didn't not mention anything about anyone's financial situations. You brought that upon yourself. Band Aid is a fad. You took it upon yourself to get offended. Since I was the ONLY person that mentioned the band aid fad.. I took it that you are calling me a B!TCH! enough said. A band aid is a band aid. It says nothing about a person not being able to fix their car. It's a fad! this is what the forum is about. What FAD have we been seeing . good or bad.. it doesn't matter. thanks. the end.

thanks.
