Yes and no. There is cheap stuff out there, that I am sure most college kids would get. And there is expensive stuff, which a college kid may get, but that is when you see the nice mod on a car with 3 tones because can't afford the paint job. [X(]
Very true. You will see multi-color cars as a result of this moding, or poorly done paint jobs.

That is why if you can't do it yourself, take it to a professional.

Pop rivets huh? [X(]

LOL! I love watching people doing a bad job of adding that stuff.

This exactly what I see in my territory is all of these add ons with poor craftsmanship. They are all like wannebees and never quite get there.

I have seen the good ones but they are an exception rather than the rule.

I don't think I have ever actually seen a good one yet. In my area they all look and sound trashy. At times I don't know what is louder, their engine (which sounds like it has been through H#!! and back) or the stereo (which sounds distorted and blarring).
