You know the cheap gaudy thing that's been around since the dang 50s.

I don't think anyone is decrying
having the option. We're saying it's an overdone trend that doesn't carry the cachet it once held as this sort of cool, bad-ass custom look. A lot of the time it makes the vehicle look kind of basic and cheap, or -- to borrow a phrase from across the pond -- 'chavved out'.
The second CTS-V that photon posted looks friggin' beautiful. The first CTS-V with the blacked out elements looks like a retired rental car that was modded by Bo from SuperStore.
