When were cf hoods cool?

**Catnip** · 08-09-2009, 04:37 AM

When you decided to never get one.

No but seriously, the "digital dash" fad being one of the worst is retarded. Been doing it since when, the C4 vette? STILL in new Hondas.

And rather than non-functional scoops, which SOMETIMES looks ok, how about adhesive vents?

Who bought a CF hood to be cool? They are great add ons, lightweight.

**puregroove** · 08-09-2009, 10:25 AM

I think there were a lot of people that just painted their hoods black to look like CF hoods. Function cant be considered a fad.

Another thing, Im sure theres a reason why I dont see two tone cars anymore--where the top half is black.

[Dang MACs and the malfunctioning apostrophe key. Gah!!]

This seems like an oxymoron. Fads that didn't last? That's why they were fads. Phases.

It's not like wheels were fads. Or fenders. Hmmmm. Later, QD.

The biggest eye sore for me is when people put a bunch of stick on chrome stuff all over their car. Not to be racist, nationalist or whatever you would call it, but mexicans tend to stick as much shiny shit on their car as they can possibly fit. I've seen cars/trucks with probably 40-50 different chrome stick on things all over the car. The stuff they sell at autozone, the chrome flames, vents ect... that by far is the worst.

dont forget the big wings too

**Jenson** · 08-09-2009, 12:41 PM

Tire stretch and rusted/randomly painted hood's and other assorted body work didnt make it? Must be an IA thing.

But seriously, when is the factory wing fad going to end. The new 5th gen camaro now comes with a wing that looks like it belongs on an Evo or STI. <Both of which look much better wingless.

In your opinion.

**superboost** · 08-09-2009, 01:42 PM

jdm muffler tilt

Loop tow hooks on cars that will never use them

Yellow JDM fogs in regions that don't have snow

High sides that make for poor visibility

i could go on...

I wish I could manufacture fake chrome things and pitch it to autozone 'cause people won't stop buying them. It will never end. I would capitalize on this.

He may be talking about this picture, which was in motor trend a couple months ago.

But I've never seen it anywhere else.

**HypnoToad** · 08-09-2009, 02:59 PM

ive not seen one on the road like that,or on the GM site.

**Nerdsrock22** · 08-09-2009, 03:05 PM

Yeah thats the only time I've ever seen anything like it. Looks pretty JC Whitney to me.

**Kevykev** · 08-09-2009, 03:26 PM

FCman - I'd say give or take 2001 - 2007??

That's obviously a rhetorical question.
