Velour Interiors

Velour interiors are not good for anyone. Only classic American lowriders can pull it off to some degree. Not 1978 Toyota Corollas with clashing yellow accents and chrome shift knobs, or Cavaliers with blingin' rims and hide-of-Barney interiors.

Attack of the Clones, Pt. 10

Again, I wouldn't classify either of these cars as ugly.

On top is a JDM Honda Integra Type R (known to us as an Acura Integra). In Japan, Integra's have more conventional rectangular headlights. Mugan's kit for that car makes for a simple but effective look, adding some extra air intakes. Quite tasteful considering some of the more elaborate cars hailing from Japan.

However, being mostly Japan only, they probably didn't see the shocking similarity between the design and the 88-94 Ford Thunderbird. Ford gets the bonus points for having the look first.

Fug. Auto Fug.

What - if anything - does a light purple 5 door Suzuki Swift (with a crappy flame job, naked chick and dated 10 spoke chrome rims) have to do with James Bond?

Electrifugging Disgustang

Another example of elaborate airbrushing on a seemingly stock paint job. This one has a crazy electrical theme going on, which may have looked good on a suitably blue car. I believe this one is also on sale on ebay.

Break on Through to the Fugly Side...

Found this on sale on ebay...

When it comes to elaborate paint schemes, I've found a few that seem to defy logic. Most offen, people save an elaborate paint scheme - fugly or not - for the finished product. The final touch. However, this Eclipse had it applied to a relatively stock car. And of that paint job...

Man - it's ugly. Not only that, it's confusing. Exactly what is going on there? There's obviously two tears down the centre of the car, but what is "underneath"? A circus tents caught in a tornado? Also strange is that the sides of the car have absolutely no decoration.

Jeep FugxFug

Wow. It's fugtastic. Neon green never looked so good. They even include pics of the UNDERSIDE which is also colour coordinated. You would think that by the time the had finished the visible part of the car someone would have had an intervention to stop the insanity.

Pinto Fuggin' Wagon

A factory Pinto shaggin' wagon I found in a 1975 Pinto brochure. Basically a panel-van type of Pinto wagon, with period dome windows and guady vinyl.

Given the purpose of this wagon, I wonder if it "explodes when rammed from behind"...

Corvette Fugger Recreation

After the release of the movie "Corvette Summer" (starring Mark Hammill of Star Wars fame), there were recreation bodykits available. I have no idea why someone would want to recreated that thing, but here's an example. It's not the same car - you can spot differences if you compare the two.

Colani Corvette

Another Colani monstrosity, based on a Corvette. It has a similar "squashed soap bar" look to the Colani bodied BMW M1.

Unnamed Kit Car Fug

Found these couple pics of an older kit car, probably based off a VW Bug. Although missing doors, I'm not sure I would deem it to be 100% hideous, but maybe that's just because it bares a passing resemblance to the Durange 95, the sportscar in "A Clockwork Orange".

However, there's something odd about the cabin... What is that? Luckily they supplied an interior pic. It's SHAG CARPETING. WALL TO WALL. IN A CAR. Not only that, but it appears to be multi-coloured (although it may just be mold from rainwater due to the fact the car has no doors).

Colani Shark

What did the poor Opel Speedster do to deserve this? The Speedster is destined to be a classic design. This is not.

It also looks frighteningly like a Veilside Supra...

Giger C2

If H.R. Giger modified cars in the "rice" genre, I think this is what they'd look like.

Many people may not know who H.R. Giger is, but are probably familar with his work. The movie "Aliens" (and sequels) was highly based on his artwork. Also from his Hollywood work with "Aliens", he did some alien designwork for the movie "Species" in '95. Like "Aliens", Giger's work is dark and very organic with sexual undertones. Most features an organic and mechanical mix of elements. For more on Giger, visit his website:

Anywho, this modified Citroen C2 looks like ground transportation on the Aliens' home planet. With neon jamed in every oriface.

Cardi

Cardi is a Russian design firm that has made several one-off sports cars, and SUV / sport car crossovers. Outstanding compared to other Russian cars, most of the cars aren't that bad looking.

This Cardi concept though has a few fugly details. Mainly the rims, the odd two-tone colour choice and the ugly chrome grille. However, I mainly wanted to display this for one reason.

Some specialty cars use other car's exterior and interior parts to save the money on developing their own. Most of the time they're borrowed from more expensive cars / brands. I've seen Diablo taillights, Passat tails, Mercedes and BMW pieces.

Cardi did similar, and borrowed taillights from the highly exotic 1986-1995 Ford Taurus wagon.

Banglerific Pickup

Well, not sure what to say about this. Don't know where it came from or who made it, but they managed to make the Bangle 7-Series even uglier. A hick's wet dream.
