Elantra Fug, Pt. 2



I think the pictures explain this for themselves. Hyundai Elantras are not usually the prime choice for lowriders, but even if they were this is one of the ugliest lowriders I've seen. If the Grim Reaper drives this, then people probably die from laughter and not his sickle.

Aftermarket Elantra Fug

Sadly, Hyundai doesn't seem to have a huge aftermarket following. Meaning many of the people who do try to modify them do so with what they can, and the results aren't always the greatest. Examples follow...

First off - this isn't too bad, except for the transport truck grille stuck to the front. Sadly, most Elantras and Hyundais in general suffer from owners who paste on acres of chrome.

Second is this interior pic (from a separate car). I personally love how the painted blue dash clashes with the wood steering wheel, which clashes with the red leather shifter boot, which clashes with the purple shifter knob. Giving the colour coordination, the exterior is probably a suitable matching colour - like yellow.

Flawless 1950 Ford Recreation



Believe it or not, this is a kit that you can buy and I have seen several version floating around eBay. And what car is better suited to the flowing, bulbous lines of 1950's automobiles than the flat-sided and blocky last generation Thunderbird.

New (Old?) Interior Fabrics, Pt. 1

Of all the riced out Civics I saw (online) at SEMA this year, this was by far the worst. And it's not just because of it's purple camo paint job, but for it's equally tacky DENIM interior trim. Denim as anything but clothing should have been outlawed as soon as the 80's ended on January 1st, 1990. Although AMC seemed to have some success with the concept in the 70's. But who wants to emulate AMC?

New Interior Fabrics, Pt. 1


It seems the newest automotive trend for cars is to skin prostitutes and use their hides to dress the interiors of cars.

GMC... Something.


There are some mother-fugly stuff on ebay today. I mean - just look at this thing. It's a GMC underneath with some kind of weird Lincoln Zephur front stuck on.

A Corvette? A Modena? It's... FUGLY.

I can imagine a lot of money went into to making these cars - I guess this shows money can't buy class. Or good looks. It's sad that there are many cheapo replicas that look better than this Modena knockoff.

I wish this fad would die...

This looks sooo stupid. It's like lowriders in reverse.

Hippy Mobile



A 1967 Fiberfab VW Avenger (GT40) kit car. Not only does it not look like a GT40, it's also very hippy. What's with the budonkadonk? Looks like a chipmunk with it's mouth full.
