What do you think is the ugliest "mod" for the W203?

I want to know your opinions.... i came up with the thread after going to the americana mall today. I saw a beautiful black C32 with chrome AMG's (i loved the rims) but what made the car disgusting looking was the chrome tail light trim thingys?!?!?!?! WHY???? so ya post what you guys or gals see on the road that totally make the W203 fugly.

btw i just got back from San Diego (La Jolla area) for a visit and i noticed that there are def a lot more modded W203's than where i'm from. Props to a nice black modded black C230 with matching color wheels and polished lip and tinted tails, etc. Too bad i couldnt snap a pic.

the ugliest add on mod i believe is the chrome fender trims...I saw it on a forest green c320 at mb manhattan. that thing had chrome headlight rings, chrome fender trims, chrome door handels, chrome mirror covers, chrome pillar covers chrome rims, chrome tail light trims, chrome trunk trim, chrome grill, chrome exhaust pipes.

that forest green one is YUCK!

The ugliest mod has to be the ebay Exhaust tips. I'll admit it, back in the day, I had them on my car. I guess I was

Bad timing - I'm going down to Philly today, and will be searching for your car, key in hand at the ready.

Different likes for different tykes, I guess. Which I guess would go for the whole discussion in this thread.

The ugliest. Without question it is the Gargantuan wing on the "My Style Coupe" that belongs to a poster from this board.

No, no long extended drama.

The question was asked, and I gave my input. The wing is silly. Find my car in the pic thread, rag on it all you want. No biggie.

My input won't come as a suprise, I mentioned it before.

UGLIEST mod, hands down, are the chrome door handle shells.

2nd is any kind of spoiler that's not a lip style spoiler. like any kind of wing...

3rd are the chrome tail light rings.

4th are the chrome headlight rings.

5th is the non-CL-type star grill (extra ****ty/lame points if you also combine the upright hood star with any kind of star grill).
This type of grill basically:


6th are the ebay exhaust tips.

You forgot the chrome rear view mirror rings....

Basically, most of the junk in the Performance catalog.

I'm also anti knock off, but I doubt most of you will agree.

This car is an example of what not to do. Primered or color mismatched lip, fender grill and rice style wing.
Personaly, I hate chrome rims door handle and mirror shells, but have to admit I do have chrome head light rings. Shame on me, I know
