So adults aren't ever allowed to criticize ANYTHING? I'm sorry, I'm not saying everyone should run around and shred everything they don't like, but geez, some of you come off as so oversensitive and reactionary...almost like no one is allowed to state a dislike of something..
And yeah, Chad's ride looks awesome. Love what he did and how he did it.

Agreed - yeah Chad did a real nice job of it. Clean, sanitary, and tasteful. Great looking machine.

Oh please, I saw a picture of an incredibly questionable "mod" and commented on it. It's like I said, I'm not on here ripping rides (most of the time I'm actually quite complimentary), but the almost preachy "Let's not say anything negative about anyone's mods because it's just not ve-wy nice, no matter what" crowd is getting tiresome.
Let's face it, as far as cosmetic mods go, most of them fall into three categories as to how they're perceived:
1) Those we like as soon as we see them, so much so that they may inspire to do either identical mods, or very similar ones. Obviously will differ from person to person, as we all like different "themes" (retro, hot-rod, tough, etc.)
2) Those we may not like ourselves, but can appreciate for what they are, and how successfully they carried out the intended theme. Example: would I ever do a 50s-themed HHR myself? No. Have I seen some incredible ones that had me saying "WOW, that is BEAUTIFUL!" Absolutely.
3) Those that are clearly hard on the eyes (most people's, anyway). That SS sticker fits the bill. It deserves the ridicule it's getting (and the jokes in here are more funny than mean-spirited).
Adults are allowed to have a collective chuckle over something they see as tacky without the sensitivity police checking in. I'm sure HHR haters have seen my ride and said, "yeah, whatever, what the hell is that?", for no other reason than that they don't like HHRs.
