They look like rubber-bands, and they DON'T belong on that car. And personally...ain't nothing "nice" about them.

Spoilers like that are out of place, (and imo, 'rice') on anything but a purpose-built LeMans racer. The car is f'n FWD...why is it on there?!

The GFX are a little much...but I can overlook that as personal preference. I like the color-scheme, and the grille isn't bad at all.

I think though, what this thread is showing us is how personal preference plays a role in what we label things as. I for one, was never into the over-styled, under-powered, "makes me feel fast" cars that my friends were all into. I don't blame them for not having any taste...they were young, and couldn't afford to do any better in most cases. I think that's where this 'ricer' culture evolved from originally... I was thankfully exposed to real cars like the Camaro, Corvette and Mustang at a very early age.
