"lots" is an understatement in my opinion...

1) those "vent" covers. (in my opinion very bad idea since the passenger side is exhaust and you're now funneling the outside air into the area where the engine fan is trying to vent hot air)
2) lowered
3) body kit
4) steering wheel
5) rims
6) 19" wheels
7) rear tail lights
8) passenger side mirror
9) funky half-covering on the amber of the headlight assembly
10) side markers look painted, instead of clear
11) brakes / rotors
12) rear spoiler
13) aftermarket radio

...

- Kokeln Racing side air intakes
- aftermarket tail lights
- aftermarket wheels

When the fan is running on my car it is drawing air in, not out. Turn on the fan manually and I can feel it sucking air through the vent.

Unless the car is overheating from not allowing the fan enough exhaust volume I can't see it being a big deal if you favor the look.
