Worst modification you can make to a gbody

[magoo_oner]

i have no ac or heater but what if its for a good reason like....its not a street car lol strictly track and its not covered up by one of those ugly chrome delete panels i tacked on a piece of sheet metal and smoothed it out to look flush with my firewall and sprayed it to match my engine bay but yea my daily driver wagon i will be sure to leave ac and heater in for those hot days and foggy windows

My #1 most hated thing I see ON ANY CAR is those cheap-*ss stick on fender vents! I see them on hoods, quarter panels, etc, etc.

I'm not a fan of a/c delete either. I understand why people do it, but some of those block off plates just look damn ugly.

Fiberglass molded dashes with excessively goofy sh*t aggravates me too.

I thought it was cool when Buick brought the port holes back a few years ago. Its an old Buick tradition but looks silly on anything else.

I foresee an endless array of "Donk" vs "Non-Donk" vs "Lifted" vs "Hydraulics" and "You suck" "No You suck" arguments.
but I'll get the ball rolling with sunroofs... Great looking, horrible idea. It's a free ticket to rustville and rain-leak-town. The flat roof design of the G's was just not sunroof friendly.

Dont get me started about the "Donk" and "Lifted" or rollin on "6's".... However, I respect the right to individuality, even if it looks like crap. Sorta like people who pierce every inch of their face...

My Salon has a sunroof (Astro-Roof) and I love it, but it does leak sometimes and without the wind deflector, its rather noisy too. Would much rather have a solid roof hard top, but I can live with what Ive got....

In no particular order, these things bug the f*ck out of me when I see em;

1) Swapping in a different make engine in your car. Usually a Chubby 350 in a Cutlass.

2) Removing A/C. I have no problem with people not wanting A/C, but for f*cks sake, do a proper A/C delete conversion. I hate seeing a perfectly nice G-body with the A/C compressor and hoses removed but with the big A/C module still sticking out of the firewall doing nothing but look like $hit.

3) Donks

4) Dumping a 2004r transmission for a non OD 3 speed. Nothing like taking a step backward.

5) Chromed out engines and any engine that looks like the aftermarket puked all over it. I've seen more than one nice car with 'Edelbrock everything' under the hood, including plenty of Edelbrock stickers too for that extra gaudy appearance.

6) When people rip out the 'Quadrajunk' carb for a much 'cooler' Edelbrock or Holly. If you de-computerise the car, put in a properly built non CCC Qjet.

7) Exhaust pipe routed under the transmission crossmember on the drivers side.

8- Monte tailpipe exits on a Cutlass.

9) Unused vac ports plugged with inches of vacuum line and a screw. Seriously people?

10) Column shifters. Nothing kills the sporty look of a G-body more than the grandma column shiter.

Worst modifications?

1. Removing the heater box on a street car
2. Removing the vapor canister on a stock motor
3. Spray can paint jobs

Air shocks in the rear at full psi, to get enough clearance for the huge 15" tires that stick out past the wheel wells. And then 14" wheels up front with skinny 50-60 series tires.

Sidepipes

I think doinks are pure retarted.

another bad one- cloning a 442 and it not even looking right or being the right colors. that one bothers me.

I'd have to agree with the Buick fender stickers, and humongous rims. But I really hate those metal testicles that people hang off of the rear bumper.
