Why are Hella horns such a normie car meme? It's such an

It's the normalfag equivalent to rice. Transformers badges and similar shit.

>>14869620
Ricing is normalfag shit

You'll never get a straight answer from any Subie owner, they all say their stock horn is too quiet which is a great point for people that use their horns on a daily basis for emergencies I suppose.

Who uses their horn so often that it becomes a necessary upgrade item?

Are they driving wrong? Am I?

They put Batman stickers on the side and shit. Silly references to franchises or stick-on wind up things on the back.

Why would anyone want their car to be a literal meme?

The fact that anybody would buy that makes me sad.

It's trashy baby boomers wanting the feel of owning a classic without having to acquire and restore one. "I could buy a SS, but this one is bright yellow and has emblems from that movie. More people will notice me then."

It's rice for dads

>thinking there is anything odd about installing an absurdly loud horn to honk faggots daily
Its a particularly American thing I've noticed. European drivers don't react the same way. Americans and Canadians hear a car horn and think someone has insulted them, like its instantly personal, and they can't ignore it. Honk at someone and they either go pale faced with an instant wash of shame, they go red faced with guilt, or they go defensive like little bitches.
The louder and more obnoxious the horn, the better, as far as I'm concerned. Pay more attention when you're on the road and you won't get honked.
Get on my level you plebtrash.

C7, Camaro, Challenger, and the Mustang are all primarily inspired by Transformers and trying to reach that audience.

>>14869519
on subarus, it's usually done when the person first gets their car and wants to do the "must have" mods (horns, mud flaps, plastidipped wheels, offset license plate). People with any kind of taste, or if it isn't their first Subaru, will usually not do this gay shit

>>14869876
must be more of an american thing. Must haves for subies around here are headers, if not full exhaust, retune, new front grill and black lip around the body kit.

Well, I live in a snowny climate where they pour salt and sand on the road, so it wouldn't be too bad to have flaps.

Nah, I had plans to get flaps or guards anyways. Subie paint is shit.

What's wrong with flaps? Sure they are on every enthusiasts WRX/STi, but it's not like they aren't functional.

>>14870151
>They are functional

In what way

>>14870158
Reduces the amount of rocks, salt, and other shit from scratching the paint. Have you ever driven on a gravel road?

>>14870158
They block dirt and debris from sandblasting your paint. I go camping with my wrx and it keeps rocks from ricocheting up.

>>14870179
>>14870173
99% of people don't rally an sti or a wrx

a mudflap isn't going to save you from the problems created by salted roads.

Got an STI that was driven for 77k miles and it hasn't chipped paint at all around the wheel wells.

>My one experience determines everyone else's.

>>14870207
the huge mudflaps people get do nothing, you maybe only need them on the front wheels if that.

you will only make your car slower whilst at the same time looking like a penis to everyone else.

If you legitimately drive on shite roads a large proportion of the time they may help.

They are mainly an aesthetic thing

They will not help you against salt

They will not make your cars paint pristine.

>>14870218
Probably like half a percent of increased fuel burnt or something like that.

>>14870218
RSD did a test and proved that having the flaps induced enough drag to about the equivalent of carrying 86 more pounds of weight @45 mph

Even my mom's Forester has mudflaps from the dealer.

Mr. Anon, what you've just typed is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever read. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone viewing this page is now dumber for having read it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

doing this is functional for mileage, why don't WRX guys do it?

>>14870271
Because those engines already run pretty hot and it looks like you're preparing some Steam Cooked Headgasket in that image.

>>14869838
I just got a free set and now that I've felt them I cannot believe how much they charge for them.

>>14870267
You have it backwards, it's the poor people that buy horns and mud flaps because that's all they can afford. Mods just for the sake of modding.

>>14870188
Stock flaps are hard and collect fuckloads of snow.

Yes, that is how you differentiate the poor sti owners from the wealthier ones.
