[The Black Gelding]

Two questions:

What makes a car cheap looking? I know there are some cars out there, mainly economy class Fords that make me say "Damn, that car looks cheap" What design elements make me think that...

What makes clothes cheap looking? I saw a dude wearing a pair of jeans with racing stripes down the side... I immediately thought "Damn, those pants are cheap looking" I have said that about other people's clothes, but what other specific design elements make me say that...

Poor quality paint jobs on cars make them looks cheap (no "depth" to the paint), as does too much of the same color with no accents, i.e. no chrome or trim anywhere. A lot of cars look like they were shitted out of some plastic mold and affixed with lego wheels.

when they have huge plastic black/dark grey bumpers that stick out like a sore thumb.

Wait for my nerf bumpers! Gray foam rubber I tell ya! Safe! Squishy!
