Default Hot new mod!

These vents are sweet! Everyone should get some. They say that they add some major HP too!

















































Why does every POS on the street have these! I saw a 85 Dodge minivan with these.....THEY WERE ON THE BACK! My next mod is plastic spinners. People are retarded.

but..... the rear one is a tad askew


while sitting at a light this past weekend, my wife pointed out that the late model mustang beside us had port holes on the fender.

double stick tape is a wonderful thing, but should be rationed

there should be a law preventing people from distributing Vette ****...
It just isn't right that criminals can photchop the prisitine beauty of the Vette and send these pictures of molestation and abuse across the internet...
