Parked at the shops the other day and did a double take as i walked past a black ATX with a fake bonnet scoop ... WTF . You could even see where the thing was glued onto the bonnet . It didnt even have an opening, just some white sticker lines on the front scoop area to make it look like it had some mesh in it lol . Had some bling chrome looking hubcaps on the standard steel wheels as well. Seriously if this trend continues im going to sell my car :)

What trend is that ? I plan on putting a ve wilkinshaw scoop on the trd . (edit) Do you mean crap installation. The fact that it does nothing functional (besides looks) or is it the fact that some people have no idea when it comes tastefull/personal choice mods. I can relate to the above mentioned car however, it would give you that WTF feeling. Hopefully cases like this are isolated and not a trend.

Definitely crap installation ! Im thinking it went something like this

1. I have this bonnet scoopy looking thing in the shed

2. I Have this tube of stick anything to anything glue

3. I will stick directly to bonnet

It was neither put on well or level. Made the whole car look cheap and tacky .

I am a fan of bonnet scoops ( that serve a purpose ) ... but they have to look like they belong there !
