What Are Some People Thinking When They Do Stuff Like This To Their Car

HEY32G · 01-24-2015, 10:28 PM

The stuff people do to nice cars amazes me. Sorry, I just don't care for this....

3002 tii · 01-24-2015, 10:42 PM

There have been some pretty bad/obnoxious/cheezy mods on this forum...

spiceyxi · 01-24-2015, 11:51 PM

I'm always worried my passenger will forget what kind of car they are in....

It looks bad, but at least it is easily replaced and doesn't hurt the car mechanics. If that is all they did.

Vanne · 01-25-2015, 11:11 AM

Come on 3002 tti, you said you'd never mention it again, sheesh.. :-p

KevinM · 01-25-2015, 11:53 AM

Oh my...

I wonder what kind of car that is?

RADRACR · 01-25-2015, 05:10 PM

Harsh crowd. I've seen worse. Let's not forget the amount of ///M emblems the Z4 got from BMW themselves.

1 trunk
1 engine
2 sides
2 inner door
4 wheels
1 steering wheel
1 instrument panel
1 shift knob
2 seats
2 floor mats
---
17

Steeler · 01-25-2015, 05:14 PM

I think the kicker is that the car has only 1008 miles on it

jdoublehcubed · 01-26-2015, 01:13 AM

Oh my god, thats terrible. It must be a huge sticker that gives it that inlay/routed look.

donoman · 01-26-2015, 02:48 AM

I'm pretty sure they are thinking:

Z4 ROADSTER

Huz-Z · 01-26-2015, 10:52 AM

Yipes. Subtle it ain't.

I think it's located 1008 miles from the person who searched it. I really hope no one bought that car, slapped an ugly sticker on the dash and called it a day, never to drive it again.

Ha yep you are probably correct.

Efthreeoh · 01-26-2015, 08:53 PM

Only makes sense it's an automatic too.

HEY32G · 01-26-2015, 08:58 PM

Yeah, 1008 miles from me.

OY! My car is an auto and I would NEVER do anything that tacky. Moderately tacky - yes. Major tacky - no.

There's also the VIN tag on the door post where it says "M Roadster" / "M Coupe".

WestCDA · 01-27-2015, 01:53 PM

There was a guy a couple years ago who spelled out '255HP' on his Z4 engine cover using oversized slanted black-on-gold adhesive metallic stickers - the kind one might buy at K-Mart to stick an address on a rusty mailbox, or possibly to spell out a CB 'handle' on the trunk of an equally rusty K-car with a 30 foot whip antenna.

That was a personal favorite of mine ...

StickMon · 01-27-2015, 02:02 PM

I know a guy that put a used third brake light behind the kidney grills to light the radiator so it looks like a space heater.
