Most OVERRATED/UNDERRATED mod - What's YHO?

YHO - your humble opinion.

Just like everyone else I love modding my car and about putting on every and good stuff I see in the forum.

I thought there must be a mod that everyone considers as overrated and/or underrated. So what's your take on it? I'm sure the responses would be quite interesting.

I'll start.

Most overrated - blacklines!

Most underrated - don't know yet. I'll think about it.
