Ah. C'mon. At least those have a purpose. Trailer air deflectors.

Aside from the detailer pet peeves I have (ie: cleanliness, free of paint defects, etc), Here's what I hate seeing:
The murals on the tailgate (Mexican)
Anything that looks ricer
anything that makes it Mexican looking (red tint, huge cisor in the front/back, etc)
Mexican flags
Old cars lifted way too high with custom paint jobs and $3k rims and a driver on welfare
Too much chrome is annoying
When people buy a 4x4, lift it, add huge tires, and dont take it off the road
when anybody starts sporting around in vehicles that have no business sporting around...
Well...the list goes on, but those are the highlights. Needless to say, I am picky...

Chrome mirror covers - don't get me wrong, I like chrome just not in these areas.
chrome vent visors
chrome fender trim
chrome bug shields
chrome gas door covers
RV style decals (old man decals)
The Calvin and Hobbs thing for sure- you should be shot if you have one
Stickers for parts you don't even have
Chessy grilles ie spider webs.
Dealer stickers and plates
winshield washer LED's
stick on hood scoops or grilles- already said but a good one
Too many old man amber lights along the side of a truck
bush guards for taillights.
Guys that have 24's with low pro's and a bush guard
Can't think of anymore right now.

I know you guys in TX probably see a lot more Mexican crap than I do, but trust me when I say we've got our fair share over here. I used to work at a Jiffy Lube and one day I whipped a donut in the gravel/dirt parking lot. We had a Mexican taco restaurant next door (you know, the kind that's just a trailer that somebody sells tacos out of) and I hit a whole bunch of their customer's cars with pebbles. I hauled *** out of there. So needless to say a little while later I get a call on my cell from the cops, saying that if I didn't come back they would come to my house and pick me up. I go back to find out that I had dinged up a Mustang, a brand new Beamer and some POS Mexican's Chevy 1500 (which btw had pretty mcuh all the Pep Boys crap, as somebody else already said)(and there was a Pep Boys across the street, coincidence?). Two of those people left because they didn't feel like waiting around. Guess which one stayed to file a police report. Yeah I don't even need to tell you. So the woman points out these tiny dents and dings which are right in the middle of possibly the crappiest looking tailgate I have ever seen. The thing was all bent out of shape and had paint missing and scrapes all over it. So the cop tells me that I am required to pay for the damages.
About a week later the woman comes up to me (with a translator, of course) and hands me an estimate for $700. To paint a tailgate. I threw it back at her and said "There's no way in hell I'm paying for you to get some f*cking Virgin Mary mural on your ****," and I went back inside. I quit the job shortly after (for other reasons, mostly because it's Jiffy Lube) and I haven't heard from her since. Probably because she doesn't speak English.
Just thought I'd share.
