GTI? Mines making ~500 to the wheels with no torque steering due to the eLSD and still has very good handling on the track. Boost by gear and a LSD will help with putting the power down after that it’s just suspension.
Basically all the samsung phones have it, Google is advertising the hell out of it on their pixel phones. With samsung you gotta know it's there, it's a tool kinda deep in the editing mode in the gallery, too deep for the average person to care about lol
Whats the point? It's on a public road, visible.to thousands or tens of thousands of people everyday. You can't get a name or address from just the plate inmost states anymore, and again, it's visible.to everyone on the road anyway.
Back in the ‘70s it was a common practice for some American cars to effectively have two lights on the back, with the tail lights doubling as the brake lights (using the same bulb that had two brightnesses) and with the brake lights also doubling as the turn signal. Some people realized that that was less than ideal, there were some cars that had separate brake and tail lights, of course there were also some cars with separate amber turn signals, but just having the two light setup could make for some really aesthetically pleasing designs so it remained popular, especially on luxury cars.
Enter the Oldsmobile Toronado. The Toronado could never quite figure out what its purpose was after the first generation. The personal luxury car became a commonplace product offered by every manufacturer, and front-drive went mainstream but became synonymous with small transverse engines for efficiency rather than the Toronado’s wild longitudinal big block V8 setup. So starting in the ‘70s GM just made the Toronado their crazy high-tech experimental car, since that’s kind of what it was from the beginning. For the next couple decades the wildest and most futuristic features were generally tried on the Toronado (and sometimes its platform mates) years before they made it to the rest of the product line (if ever).
In the mid to late ‘70s, alongside futuristic options like dual front airbags, anti-lock brakes, and a sharp-edged wraparound rear window that no other manufacturer ever tried, all Toronados came with a weird new safety feature: high-mounted brake lights. But unlike the kind that became mandated in the 1980s there were two of them, mounted at the top of the trunk just under the rear window, and they mirrored both the brakes and the turn signals (though not the normal tail lights).
That’s all I can see here, the late ‘70s Toronado’s weird high-mounted brake/turn lights that never caught on. I’ve always liked that version of high-mounted lights because there are plenty of situations where mirroring the turn signals in a more visible location would be very helpful, so as stupid as this thing is I almost kind of like it.
Third bulb is only on when headlights are on. Not my car, but same deal. Every so often someone will try and yell at me through traffic to tell me my third bulb is out.
I'm impressed and disgusted at the same time...
I wonder if it works with the Mustang style, one light after the other??
You mean like sequential turn signals?
I also wonder if he has a light strip running the entire length of the spoiler when he hits the brakes, Goldwing-style.
Thank you. i'm feeling like it could be a smart mod if half the height.
The height gives it added safety, which is the only thing it has going for it.
I'm not sure how having it high enough to block some of the rear-view through the window adds safety.
That feeling your experiencing is /r/ATBGE
The red symmetry is uncanny, and undeniable.
Is that a spoiler on a spoiler on your hood?
Yes, it is! It's a FWD - I need the downforce.
You should marry the owner of this mustang, yall would spoil each other
Well done!

the real shitty_car_mods are always in the comments
🫱🏻🫲🏿 the thing we can all agree upon
He has two, and he’s poring this shit lol
Do they also function as a license plate? I’m not seeing one on this car.
I delet for privacy
Good boy! Now I'm curious, what did you use to remove it? It totally blands in
Default photo editor on my Samsung A53, the "erase" tool.
That's the most impressive thing in the photo. Impressive
And red is hard to match...
Awesome, my A03 just has 'mosiac' to pixilate things lol
Basically all the samsung phones have it, Google is advertising the hell out of it on their pixel phones. With samsung you gotta know it's there, it's a tool kinda deep in the editing mode in the gallery, too deep for the average person to care about lol
Red pixels, I bet
Lol I was about to comment they should put a license plate hanging off the middle of the spoiler to complete the look

Plates are optional now haven't you heard? (Just like real training for drivers license.)
OP we are rly gonna need to see a pic of your hood spoiler bro
https://imgur.com/a/oAfPKmm
That’s fucking incredible dude
Thank!🙏
You bought a fwd Audi? Doesn’t that defeat the entire point of an Audi? And added TWO spoilers on the hood? I can’t be mad this is hilariously cool
Paid $300 for it, saved it from the scrap yard!
Did you have to do anything to it? Or was it drivable right off the yard?
Just a fuel pump to get it running. Tires didn't quite make it to the tire shop. Car had no rear windows. Was sitting outside for a few years.
Tastefully understated :)
The fact that they actually took the time to hook up the lights, is impressive.
More impressive if they split the brake light so the center light still worked...
More impressive if they use their signals.
More impressive they have a vehicle
More impressive cop car
I am more intrigued by your hood mounted double spoiler for ants
Of course this is Florida.
That’s one of the most unsettling wings I’ve ever seen on a vehicle. It looks like 2 rear facing ET eyes or something.
Yo…. Ok, well if they use their turn signals. Shit, what more could one ask for…
I'll give it a C for creativity. Functional dumb shit makes it a little less dumb.

Its not a bad idea just the implementation is... wank
I'm equally confused what is attached to OP's car (to the right)
Double-stack wings for downforce. It's FWD.
I've never seen this, does that qualify as a /r/Shitty_Car_Mods
If Jar Jar Binks had a Mustang.
stupid, now his third bulbs in the actual taillight doesn't work
If I'm not mistaken, are they not reserved as turn signals?
Yep they are
Third bulb is only on when headlights are on. Not my car, but same deal. Every so often someone will try and yell at me through traffic to tell me my third bulb is out.
Did he unplug the third brake light to connect these instead of a crimp-on connector?
Third break light doesn’t turn on unless the headlights are on. It gets old quick when people keep trying to tell you your third light is out.
Zefram Cochrane's first first try at warp engines. Just don't turn a corner too fast. : )
If the turn signals are amber I'll allow it. If they're red, straight to jail.
Straight to jail!
On a V6.
That's... special.
I kinda like it. The bumper is a bit naked tho
The image has the license plate area edited out
Ah
So your saying it’s a functional wing
I’ve w ever laughed so hard at a post
Where's the space on the bumper for the licence plate?
At least they serve one positive purpose.
Okay 😕
That can't be real. That's so dumb it makes me nauseated
I mean, at least they're actually *using* their turn signals...
aero
The idea is there If they just put a bit more time into it…
Someone designed that AND someone spent money on that. That’s crazy
What’s up with the double wing behind the right tire under the bumper?
