Another thread, but for your hated mods.

Why was it so bad and was it a major waste of money? Discuss!

My most hated mod would be a "ebay performance chip". I purchased one a few years ago for a old s10 i had. Put it in and the plugs fouled out,and ran awful..Today i look back and think ha what an idiot.

Halo projectors.

- fine print reads, modification may be required to fit HID's. Not stating which bulb you need. Went through hell to get them to fit. Ended up selling them because they were such a pain. Also, clear corners. Turn yellow after a while.

light bar on the roof. theres nothing that makes your offroad experience more enjoyable by limiting where you can go by adding another 10-12 inches to your overall height

I have to agree with you on the projectors. I bought them but just didn't fully enjoy the looks. It just haunts me that there is something I'm not satisfied with. Luckily my car accident solved that lol.

I made a thread for that too.


My Add-a-leafs are definitely on my disliked list. Supposed to add like 1 1/2" or 2" to the back end but ended up adding more like the width of the AAL, so about 1/2". Also took 3-4 hours and a lot of work to install.

Over that past few years i have bought many things that i ended up taking off. some didnt even make it on the blazer. Including projectors, fender flares, mudflaps, a few different amps, gauge pod(thinking about putting back in) along with many other things i cant think of right now. I have wasted hundreds of dollars doing this. Hopefully someday i will get it exactly how i want it but thats doubtful lol. There are also times i wish i didnt do anything to it since with all the money invested i could have a nice newer truck but oh well you only live once

Haha, I know exactly how you feel!!!! LOL

I like how my truck turned out, but there are a lot of things I wish I had done differently. My halo projectors were cool at first, but the light output was horrible and after one year of use one of the tabs broke off, so I went back to stock. My old Bull Bar was also worthless cause it always got in the way when off-roading. It took me three sets of different subs to figure out that JL Audio subs were the best. Another thing I have kept but don't like anymore are my blue super bright LED dome lights. I feel stupid every time someone see's them at night now. lol

None for me. All my mods were thought out before hand and I have no regrets with a single one of them.
