Default !POST WHAT BUGS YOU ABOUT YOUR CAR!

Like the title says post what bugs you about YOUR car. If you have a picture of your car post it as well
We dont want anyone hating on peoples rides.
I always have people coming up to me saying "mann your car is dopee" but in reality it has a lottt of things i wish i could improve.
So lets see what bugs you and what you would like to improve looks wise on YOUR own car.

Heres mine to start with.

First off that lip!! first chance i get i wanna get an oem si lip colormatched.

Then its my fender which is a little messed up right by the headlight.

The hood bra never stays in place haha

Man i wish my wheels were real volk te-37's

And some ctr headlights with oem fogs would make me smile

ALRIGHT LETS KEEP THIS CLEAN AND ONLY PICK AT YOUR OWN CAR.

I have a bit of leftover tint on my car that just won't come off. Also I hate how water leaks into my car when it rains. Overspray primer on my drivers side window from the repaint. One panel is broken and you can see the wires where my wiring for my slap shows. Front splash shield that won't stay in place. Aftermarket antenna. Dirty carpet. Broken coin tray near the steering wheel. CEL due to secondary O2 being bad (Used a OBB2 reader). Missing screws here and there.

Then again I'm real picky about my car lol

My stock seats being so high (got used to my f1specs). Also the center console that got stolen. I had to replace it with a cx's so there is no button for a/c, not that it really matters but it bugs me. I would say the dents on my hood but since there was a awesome collision with my front end and a f350's, that's being taken care of as we speak.

The squeaks, creaks, and it sometimes reeks.

Maybe it doesn't reek, but it rhymed. I just hate the unncessary noise sometimes. Goddamn, if I compare all the sounds to my dad's Chevy Avalanche, my car would be the sound of the twin towers collapsing.

This is my kinda thread...

Who ever owned my car last didnt take care of it AT ALL!

NO panels align properly ( im talkin about 1"+ gaps)


Theres a cricket in my tail lights...


Cant clear snow very well.... but thats a given...


Dent below the rear passanger window where the last owners GF rammed it (You dont want to see the key marks on the other side... They'll make you cringe)


Doors/fenders/hood/bumper are a completly different darker teal than the rest of the car (looks way worse in person! I took this pic with the intentions of having it not show)


Will post more when I take more pics, this is a LONG list!

It doesnt matter much whether the Kumhos are new or old. Chances are pretty high when you change your tires to a different brand other than factory, you're going to pick up some road noise.

When i changed from my Michelins (factory) to my Dunlops, it sounded like marbles rolling on tiles... Whether you like it or not, its something you have to live with.

your front lip may also contribute to the "noise" that you're hearing. Front spoiler displaces air... by air flowing off the front bumper will cause more "noise"....

On the hatch the pass. side has a small leak when it rains. Bad paint that should be getting fixed this summer and a nice crack in the front bumper. Stock suspension that I'm pretty sure is beat at this point.

The S, nothing really bugs me about it other than the fact that it's slower than my hatch.

single cam, auto, paint fading, windows off track, tint coming off, sloppy steering, crappy ride, smells, glass pitted and scratched, plastics scraped up, belt squeal, tensioner noise, valve noise, valve cover leak, cam seal leak. thats most of it.
