You've got the right idea what I'm talking about.
 
Add some Autozone or Walmart glue on portholes
Add a two tone paint job, say maroon with sparkles in the paint below the beltline and on the roof and white on the horizontal parts.
Add other odd ornaments to make your car unique from the next wannabe's lower cost car.
 
The poetic justice is seeing them sitting with one or more of their 2 inch thick tires flat. Or they are creeping down the street to a station to put in air trying not to hurt the tire that's almost flat.
 
I guess my problem is you can't teach an old dog new tricks? I just can't adapt to ruining a car and probably making it unsafe to drive because of the tires.
 
Add the spinner type wheel covers that move when the car isn't or stay stationary while the car's moving. Probably out of style everywhere else but still an urban status symbol in Dayton urban area.

"...dangerous tires pimped out as drug dealer cars..."
 
I've seen a few Escalades with Dub-Dubs (22" wheels) and 35 series tires. I can't imagine what happens when they hit a Northeast pothole.

"...this doesn't look good to you?..."
 
I wondered what happened to my father's 1998 LaSabre. His was white just like that. I don't remember him buying those wheels though.

if a car sat out in the florida sun all the time, there is some effect you wouldn't get with an up north vehicle. there would be way more mileage on the a/c!
even in the northeast the sun has it's effects.
my 91 mustang which is always garaged and only driven a few months a year has areas that show less sun effect than my 07 fusion which sat out on the lot for well over a year.

Yeah they are about as tacky as you get. Even my girlfriend said the other day "what are those decals for" as she pointed to a really ugly set of portholes on an old Mazda 626

....Killer Gas Pedals?
 
What's up with Toyoda? Is this a real issue or has the media found a new whipping boy?

They just say, "Oh, sh--!" and then pass around more coke (the white kind).

If I were going to live in Florida it would be up in Tallahassee. Hills of sorts (keeping in mind the highest point in the state is only maybe 485 feet above sea level), a city that's not dedicated to either tourism or seniors....
  
We're in Kissimmee which is fine to be a tourist in

 
I'm in Orlando, and have a son going to FSU in Tally and I could never live there, way too many college kids for my tastes. Orlando is too touristy. South Florida is too hot. Jacksonville and Tampa are nice. But my favorite place to live here would be the Ocala area, much cooler than Orlando and south, and some gorgeous horse farms.
