What is a car mod that is generally unpopular, but you secretly like?

[Bugatti Fan]

Some conversions look great to my eyes, but others have me wondering, what was this guy thinking?

On production cars the fake wood effect on the sides of a Country Squire and the faux spare wheel on the Cadillac  both look tasteless and tacky to modern eyes. I guess back in the day, bling was the thing that American auto manufacturers thought would attract their main US customer base. American cars have become much more European both in styling and size so the bling has long gone!

Yeah, there’s a reason that the US manufacturers started making touring and sport trim levels to try and bring some European influence to their cars, because people were starting to tire of the gaudy chrome and boat handling!
