14. ANY non-stock chrome wheels.
15. Satellite radio receivers on any car too old to have a factory satellite radio.
16. Those little rubber aerials in place of the correct retractable unit.
17. Broken radio aerials that stay up when the car is parked.
18. Any headlights that do not at least appear to be US or euro OEM.
19. Clear fog lights or models that should have yellow (and the opposite).
20. Basically anything that doesn't look like it came from the factory.

That's just the exterior stuff, I'm not even going to list the defacing you can't see (after-market air cleaners, weird VWO conversions, etc.)
Man, are you a purest! I guess my tinted windows, (bought it that way) and Ronal Penta 16" wheels with 225/50 tires put me in there with the "pimp my ride" crowd.

How do you feel about the options that tuners like AMG and Lorinser put on Mercedes? To me they were the pioneers of the "aero" and "monochrome" look that all new cars strive for.
