Wheels that dont fit properly.
Intercoolers outside the engine bay.
Build number plaques for mk2 focus rs (they made 11.5k of them).
Standard wheels painted matte/satin black.
bright colored rear drums.
Big wheels that show small brakes.
JDM Stickers on stuff that isnt JDM.

B/K series VTEC lumps are some of the finest 4 cylinders ever made.
If you don't like cars that rev, buy a diesel Fiesta or something.

Another one 'track day cars' with no door trims, exposing potentially sharp metal edged openings and brackets that will turn your arms to mincemeat in a crash..
Door trims weigh fuck all, can't see the point of removing them at all.

people that spend lots of money having their decent BMW or similar flagship car vinyl wrapped a matt colour.
And though its fading out a bit now, the monster energy phase people seemed to go through where they had a normal, standard focus or whatever, (usually was MG-ZR around here) and sprayed the wheels and random bits of trim bright green and stuck monster energy stickers all over the car. Thought that look pants.
Also not a fan of the 90s fiberglass body kit parade.

Coilovers on cars that are primarily road cars not trackday cars
Neon wheels
buckets and harnesses in cars meant for everyday use
wheels that are too big with too little tyre profile, ie 18's on a fiesta mk3
attempted rat look on your mums polo by just having an unsprayed rusty bonnet and the rest of the car bog standard
nurburgring sticker
debadged knackered bmw's with m badges ( if you can see them through the clouds of blue smoke usually engulfing the car )
fat rims and stretched tyres poking out from the bodywork on an otherwise standard looking car
stupid camber
twin exhausts on normal 4 cylinder shopping cars

Sorted RS or any other gay slogan where the car badge normally lives.
And quad headlight conversions.
Black bonnets.
Stretched tyres.

People who run quite obviously other OE manufacturers wheels on their car, and people wanking on about how brilliant it is..
Rx 8 round this way with Bentley wheels on it.. Why?
Extreme camber = wank
Cars slammed to the weeds, with some cock behind the wheel thinking it handles
'Like a go kart'. Yes, they step out very easily too and don't like real world bumps..
Rat look
Rat look with a roof rack full of old shit
Vw boras that some oik had been given by his grandad,
Lowered and has the wheels painted some shite colour... Usually a gutless diesel
People talking loudly with much enthusuliasm, thinking their 'chipped skoda Fabia/Octavia/fallatio is actually the fastest thing in the world.

Apart from most of the ones posted on here, "Built not bought" stickers on cars that at most have a cheap set of coilovers on, a set of wheels and an aftemarket back box. The use of the word "stock" gets on my wick too.
