You all have to realize, the whole donk movement isn't about making the cars look or perform great, is about literally making them ridiculous. The negative reactions they get from anyone who doesn't understand why they do what they do is exactly why they do it.

Once you realize that, the humor in the movement is blatant. They're poking fun at the car modding culture by taking it to the absurd extreme. Personally, find those cars hilarious.

Seems to me like its a rather expensive way to do that. I for one can think of a lot of better ways to spend my money.

If I can only choose one, I would have to say the fake chrome vents stuck to the driver doors. Why put a fake vent there of all places? I just imagine that they are functional for venting the bad stink from their shoes or something... There are a few cars in my area with this "mod".

So after adding all these mods you didn't have enough money left for the light bill? Post a picture of your car in the daytime so we can judge you accordingly. Haha

It looks pretty tastefully done. But it's dark so we can't actually see well.

Have to agree. Dumbest thing ever. In our day it was used to coat handles on hand tools. Not to paint your car.

Like I said above though, if that is your cup of tea then by all mean plactic dip the hell out of your car.

Thank you for explaining that. I get it now.

Not my jam, but...

Only time I have used Plastidip on a Vehicle was on a used S10 pickup with aftermarket aluminum wheels that were so corroded that that wouldnt clean up. So I plastidipped them and used some red 1/4 pinstripe tape on the Rim to give it some contrast. I would never use it on a nice car though. I know I said black wheels earlier but in this case they looked better black than corroded polished aluminum.

So the whole Donk thing is just an expensive, comfort killing, money wasting troll? Though I see the point behind it, that just makes it even dumber.

I have to say, Butt implants. Worst. Mod. Ever.

Dip that looks like it's been rattle-canned on, Donks, and the murdered-out look... so played out.

This is false. These people are very proud and serious about their mods. It is not satirical. In my experience they believe these are actual improvements
