Of all the cars to have a brush guard on it, a Hyundai subcompact is not the winner here. Let's get this rant started by talking about the uses of a brush guard. Brush guards, like helmets, are designed to protect what's behind them. In the case of a truck or police cruiser, it may be necessary or impossible to avoid colliding with a vehicle or obstacle in the pursuit of an objective, including getting to the other side of muddy terrain or the capture of a stolen vehicle. Brush guards require rigidity, and this fiberglass crap won't protect that Hyundai from anything. Even worse, that Hyundai can't get up to speed enough to make any collision worth needing protection. That subcompact can't even survive a puddle, much less a torque-demanding mud course.

Wait a minute. That's a spoiler!

Let's try this rant again.

This ricer sucks for more reasons than that functionless spoiler. Notice the bolt-on fenders designed to give it more of a widebody look. The car's obese now. It's as wide as it is long, and it has downforce like a fat body. It's even got dual tips on the one side which I guess are an upgrade from a single pipe on that side. I bet the driver tells people that this subcompact as true duals, not knowing the difference. Of course, the car should have blacked out tails with spray paint. Either the driver hasn't gotten to this yet or has been saving up for the most chromey tails on the market. Has anyone else noticed that the vehicle already has a stock spoiler on top of that hatch? Also, it's got a problem with the windows. I don't see any tint. The driver spent enough money to get some nice black wheels to go with that black paint, but what happened to a good blackout? Even a light tint would make a big difference. Instead, that money was all blown on the least aerodynamic spoiler that looks like a facemask out there on a FWD car that already has a spoiler.
