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.

i saw a new edge mustang a few days ago, with a saleen body kit...and the rear fascia didnt fit right, and the side skirts were put on by drilling holes through them, and putting in pop rivets...

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).
