Saw this time capsule and was reminded of 1980s car culture!

What do you remember about aftermarket mods of your youth?
Which were boneheaded, and which were legit ?
  • Slot mags
  • Cragar SS
  • Louvers
  • Cherry bomb straight pipe exhaust
  • Tunnel rams, hood scoops, blowers? What was the difference?
  • NOS
  • Hood scoops
  • Alpine / Kenwood stereo.
  • Jacked up rear end
  • Traction bars
  • Pinstriping
  • Wheelie bars

What are some of your stories ?
Everything on that list is still cool if done right - except pinstriping.

I hate pinstriping, only seen it enhance a car a few times and then still like it better without.

Hey, it's all subjective.

Not on the list above is terrible interiors.


Dashboards and door panels should not have shag carpeting.

Just saying cars are not panel vans.

I have to draw the line somewhere.
