So then all of a sudden, you see this truck rolling out of the wal-mart parking lot with:
* Fake stick on hood scoops (with the paint not 100% correct because he did it himself to "save a few bucks")
* The little visor thingy that makes your truck look like it's wearing a baseball cap
* The stick on side windows grills (those things that cover up the side windows for the extended cab part)
* The great big louver thingy on the back window
* Gigantic, bigger than life bug deflector made of stainless
* Over sized rain gutter thingys on all 4 side windows
* the little itty bitty short chrome tail pipe part that sticks onto your exhaust pipe to make it looks like its chrome (but you can clearly see the part where it meets the old rusted pipe)
* And the gigantic rear window mural of the 3 deer standing next to a stream having a drink. The kind that covers the entire back window.
* Oh yeah, and the name "rockpick" airbrushed over the driver's door handle, and "bert" airbrushed over the passenger handle. (haha, just like old times)
All right seriously, any of those things are fine if that's what you like (even if you don't like it, that’s cool) but some guys go too far and slap everything on there and it can make a truck look (the only word that comes to mind is "white-trashy")
I think it takes a certain amount of skill, some taste, and a good eye to mod a truck so it finds the perfect balance. It's easy to go too far or not enough, and pick the wrong accessories.
So these are the reasons why I think not everyone can make a truck look badass regardless of how much money they have.
With that being said, I vote for my truck

Yep -- there's nothing that looks worse than a truck that has taken a direct hit from a "S.E.M.A. Bomb"........
