11 Modifications We Want To See Die In 2016

We asked you guys to tell us which modifications you want to see die in 2016. Here are the most popular - and most controversial - answers

“You bought an RX7, the whole point of it is the rotary motor. And now it’s just a Chevy” - SkylineDom

Check out the video above… Matt Farah doesn’t agree with this one!

Is your Honda excessively loud? Do your doors open upwards? Do you own a detachable steering wheel? If you answered yes to all of these questions, you’re probably a ricer. From all of us here at CT, we beg of you, please stop ruining perfectly good cars.

We have to agree with one commenter who summed up the excessive camber craze rather succinctly:

“This crap has to stop” - the Stig’s German cousin

When Engineering Explained explains why a modification is a bad idea, you have to sit up and listen.

Rocket Bunny and Liberty Walk kits were pretty cool when they first arrived on the scene, helping to give some of our favourite supercars some serious aggression. Unfortunately, the tuning scene went a little in mad in 2015, throwing RB and LW kits onto everything. When almost every car at SEMA has riveted fender flares, you know that the trend has jumped the shark.

Chrome wrapping is another modification that has been tragically overdone in 2015. Just don’t tell Ethan…

We love a low riding car, but only when the lowered ride height helps to improve the car’s dynamics. Slamming for the sake of aesthetics needs to be banished to Room 101.

Spoilers serve a useful purpose on a 1000bhp hypercar. They make less sense on a 100bhp front-wheel drive econobox. Unfortunately the trend of throwing huge wings onto underpowered cars has been around for decades, so we don’t see it dying off any time soon.

2015 was the year of the flame spitting Lamborghini Aventador. After seeing a million videos of supercars pointlessly revving in central London, we’d be happy to see this trend die in 2016.

A modification that sounds cool in theory, but looks seriously cheap and tacky in reality.

The fact that this is even a thing still astounds us. Please stop it, America.

I have no problem with riveted flares, on one condition. They should only be there if they have their own function, and allow the car to function properly also. For example, it’s perfectly fine on a drift car is the track is widened for extra lock, how even I can’t imagine a Liberty Walk 458 having anywhere near the performance of the standard one.

This was the most rubbish post I have ever read. Only the rice should just wipe off the earth with excessive camber but why liberty walk or rolling coal? Are you fking kidding me?

Cause rolling coal is stupid. How can you justify a huge lifted pavement queen truck spraying thick diesel smoke in the vicinity of pedestrians? I especially hate the brodozers with “Prius repellent” stickers who roll coal at every given opportunity. Rolling coal isn’t as bad as rice, but it’s up there

Im like, just wondering. What is the whole point of this another judgemental post. We all like different things, so why the fcking fck should you care about someone who loves something you hate. These posts just make me go away from this HateThrottle and check some proper non-judgemental or hate posts on proper forums. And then people wonder why there are people fighting in car culture.
