21. Wheel Lights
Neon wheel lights are intended to draw attention, much like underglow. The eyes they’re most likely to notice belong to police officers, just like underglow. Neon wheel light regulations vary greatly from state to state, making it virtually hard to be in compliance wherever you go. Wheel lights are prohibited in several locations in any form.
22. Hood Ornaments
Hood decorations were formerly widespread and elegant, but today they are out of date, unnecessary, and mercifully rare. Hood decorations date back to the time when unsightly radiator caps protruded through the hood.
A major contribution to hiding an eyesore was made by traditional ornaments like the Jaguar the manufacturer fitted or vanity ornaments like skulls or eagles. On the sleek hoods of current automobiles, though, they appear out of place and gaudy.
23. Whistle Tips
Metal fittings that are welded into your exhaust pipe called whistle tips. They unnecessarily increase the noise level of an otherwise typical automobile by driving the exhaust into a narrow passageway.
Soon after they started to appear in the early 2000s, California prohibited them (appropriately), and other states soon followed. They attract traffic stops even if they are permitted where you reside, and you risk receiving a penalty for breaking a municipal noise regulation.
24. Rain-Sensing Windshield Wipers
The majority of rain-sensing wipers aren’t quite up to the task just yet, despite the fact that they seem like a decent idea and are certain to improve significantly over the next few years.
Even in the absence of rain, their sensors may activate the wipers. Additionally, they may accelerate or decelerate more than the driver would want, and they may cause complacent drivers to forget to turn on their headlights when the wipers come on.
25. Fake Hood Scoops
Even if it’s a bold statement, phony hood scoops may be sadder and less genuine than false performance badges and engine sound emulators. For engines that are turbocharged or supercharged, hood scoops provide additional air intake. It never looks nice when you bolt or attach a fake scoop to your hood for no other reason than that it looks cool.
