Worst car mods ever

After the "stance b/s" thread I thought it might be fun to have a picture thread (hotlinked if at all possible ) of some of the worst vehicular atrocities you've ever witnessed. I used to live in L.A. which I have renamed Riceposerville, so I have a few that I'll post to start out. (some of these courtesy of the Rice Boy fanpage)

When your dial-in is 18.8, is there really a point in racing?

And I always thought it was a shame to see these Ferraris rusting away at gas stations.

I'll just leave these fine examples here. We discovered it while, humorously, shopping for a Cobalt SS.

Oh man, you're making me go back to the well on this one......

We'll start light, a nice little mirror mod.... [URL=http://smg.photobucket.com/user/mndsm/media/IMAG0162.jpg.html][/URL]

This next one, deserved a whole row of pics to capture the carnage.

I couldn't get too close to this one, the Hmong dudes that owned it were already giving me the stinkeye... they followed me in and knew i was in the ms3- i was afraid I was gonna come out to a shell.

Aaaaand i'm spent.

I'll be specific with what I have disliked throughout the years. Single wiper blades:

Giant wings on ordinary cars. It's one thing if you have the whole Fast&Furious thing going on - it's another if it's just slapped on there for no apparent reason.

Driver Mods:

lame paint jobs

windshield washer leds

stupid led drls like this

i can keep going on

stance/hellaflush/whatever they call it now. yes i know they are car people and so on. I just don't like it.

Before someone else tosses it up here...

Self sacrifice from the Ghosts of Challenges Past ;)

In reply to DirtyBird222:

I'm guilty of doing the washer LED's on my first truck. Bonus points for the "strobes" in the corner lights?

Also, I have a term for the new Audi-like LED lightbar craze: Trailer trash Christmas lights. You know how a certain segment of the population leaves their Christmas lights up all year round? Yeah, it looks like that.

(*) I am from Florida. I lived in a trailer once. We left our lights up all year.

I know you said car mods but trucks can fit too.

Flat black rattle cans

Black wheels

Chameleon paint...and come to think of it unnecessary accessories

I could go on forever but stance doesn't bother me at all.

Sometimes I like to think(or hope) that people do this way over the top rice to deter thieves when they park in the 'hood.

You mean light brites?

That is what I think when I see them.

This, without a doubt, is the worst

OOOOOOH FUN!!! Can we play "Black, White, Mexican?" or would that get me banned?

Wow, that's spectacular. Is it a yacht? Is that why there are railings on the hood? And are there 14 auxiliary forward-facing lights? It's a 4x4 Grand Cherokee Jeep Grand Cherokee Jeep, right?

Excellent.

Somehow I never made the connection.

Yeah, I seriously cut 3 lanes of traffic and nearly wrecked it was so bad... I had to take pictures of it. I was 15min late due to the delay.

Oh and it's a 4x4 Grand cherokee Jeep Grand Cherokee Jeep LIMITED STREET MACHINE.

I won't ban you for it. My pics are easy. Every single one of them was of Hispanic descent.

And I really like chameleon paint- LOVE the stuff. I'm a color whore though.

is it against the rules to post up my own cars?

John Brown did it- game on I say.

A "mod" I never really got was the under driven pulleys on anything other then the S/C.

I get it on race cars and E36 M3 like that but WTF people......

Never underestimate the consistency of a low powered automatic genericar.

The year that I was all serious about bracket racing, the year end final showdown was won by a guy in a 20-second Celebrity. He usually won every night's overall, too.

Good reaction times and a car that does the same thing every time, that's all you need for bracket racing.

I once had a fun time mocking the folks at a "Run what ya brung dial-in drag nite(TM)"

I brought my '77 Mercedes 240D 4-speed. I dialed in a 25.5 (factory-rated time in the 1/4 mile). The timing guy looked at me funny, but he wrote it on the windshield anyhow.

The 14-second Camaro in the next lane got his green light when I was 3/4 of the way down the track.

And he beat me anyhow!

There ain't nothing wrong with a G body on mesh!
