Name some of the worst mods you seen on a camaro - Page 5 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Anything that is 'too much', which draws the eye to it rather than it looking like it blends in. IMHO it should look almost like another trim option.

Oh and mislabeling what the car really is, Z-28 on an SS, SS on an LT or LS! These just shout out "I really wanted the bigger engine but all I could afford is the label... "

Anything else is really up to the owner and each to their own.

NO to any chrome on the exterior of the car (especially wheels!). Chrome is for slow things like Harleys.

and my truck haha, actually the only chrome on it is the wheels and bumpers, and i want to change all that out haha

the ugliest thing i've ever seen on a camaro has got to be the "classic styling" chrome bumpers, i think that even tops the huge rims, which are terrible in their own right.

that or...dare i say it...Front License Plates!!!!! AHHHHHHHHHH

also the press on fender vents are like my sworn enemy....damn minivans missing hubcaps have em......how about you spend that $ on something useful, like an air freshener, or window tint so no one can see who the moron who bought fender vents is.

bluetooth-ss · 10-11-2010, 06:47 PM

All the fake stick on stuff such as fake port holes,and especially those frackin ugly chrome bumpers.

INTIMIDAT3R · 10-11-2010, 06:50 PM

Who cares if someone wants to make their Camaro "their own"???

If someone wants to mod their Camaro to "Nth Degree", who are we to say different???

We all love the Camaro and that's why we drive them.

Live and let live.

'Nuff said.

CamaroApa · 10-11-2010, 08:25 PM

The retro styling look where they put chrome moldings on front and rear bumpers! And the hood scoops that sticks on to your hood. Lol

SA CHEVY · 10-11-2010, 08:46 PM

For me it's the "chrome trim" usually associated with Chevy/GMC pickups that people put in the fenderwell and on the doors that I always said was hideous and repulsive until I saw my first Camaro here in town with it on and almost lost it...I'm all for people making their car their own and have always been an advocate of that but c'mon...seriously??
