Speed Holes

This Fiero-based Countach replica has a novel design solution for the lack of air getting to the front mounted radiator – just fill the entire front hood with holes. I suppose it matches the louvered 25th Anniverary look – just don’t drive it in the rain.

PS: The title is a reference to “The Simpsons” episode “Homie the Clown” – been watching a lot of old Simpsons episodes lately.

Great Flaming Corollas

The Toyota Corolla is not exactly an engaging vehicle. Seeing one does not cause pre-teen boys to take chase, so why it would form the basis of riceburner I’m not sure. Especially a fog-lights-lacking low end automatic. If there’s anything good to say, it’s that a better car was saved from being the canvas for these unfortunate modifications. This car is a bit of a cross genre piece. For the most part it’s a ricer with a carbon fibre spoiler, headlights and hideous projectile taillights, as well as some very “Hot Wheels” flames applied to it’s sides. A couple features set it apart though, including the “aluminum pie plate” dubs and a giant naked angel airbrushed on the hood. I think it’s an angel – could be a skank lying on top of a giant dove. Plus there’s bonus hidden fug, as lifting the hood reveals a menacing visage painted on the underside of the hood. I especially like how all three pieces of artwork – the flames, the airbrushing and the hidden face – all clash with each other and are seemingly unrelated.

Attack of the Clones: Renault ArEight

The Renault DeZir concept is meant to show a new design language for Renault. Apparently that design language is very similar to the one that spawned the Audi R8.

Corvette Smorgasbord

Choose one theme and stick with it. The bizarre GT1 / '58 model combo's tail treatment is especially horrid. Nice Wal-Mart license plate surround...

Hello Kitty Ferrari

You could have at least replaced the prancing horse with chrome kitty. Come on now.

Continental Kit

You can only see a portion of the front, but this appears to be one of those Japanese Neoclassic cars. Possibly of the home-made variety. Gets extra fug points for the fender fenders and cow hide interior.

The Thing from Another World

I think this is a Euro Escort convertible. It's frightening. Looks like something out of "The Thing".

Got Wood?

For some reason, this car's owner has decided to apply a burled walnut look to the car's fenders and hood. Yet the other panels remain untouched (well, except for the black front bumper). Is this a fug in progress?

Veyron? Way wrong.

Almost had me fooled there for a second. Kinda wish it had a Bugatti horse collar grill - it would have been truly pathetic.

Lada M-Sport

The elusive M3 Czechoslovakia Edition.

Adventures in Velvet

Corvette Grand Fug

Part of the inspiration for the Corvette comes from here. The rest I'm not so sure. Cartoons maybe? That side window treatment is just confusing - not sure what they're going for there.

World's Ugliest Mustang

I feel obligated to post this. Back in 2007, a Mustang was displayed a SEMA that nauseated all who set eyes on it. It became known on the internet as the "World's Ugliest Mustang", and deserves mention here.

Diamond in the Rough

Civic hatchbacks do not take well to low rider style. It seems this Civic mostly ignored the whole low-rider aspect entirely, deciding to focus solely on the style (or lack thereof).

Escapism

This looks so ridiculous I'm thinking it must have some usage other than being a tall, narrow spoiler of some kind.

Mystery "BMW"

May need help identifying the donor car... Alfa Romeo maybe? also - I think those are Lexus RX tails...

Bling²

Apparently, you can get dubs for your dualie now.

That BMW

Posted previously, I found more pictures so I thought I'd post them. These pics lack the Corvette badges on the rear fenders, but the car still has more chrome than an entire fleet of Buicks. Sadly, this car seems to be a rolling advertisement for "Elite Body & Custom Shop". Note the horrible spacing of the text on the rear window. Phone numbers blocked out to protect the ignorant.

Aston Hurtin'

I think this is a Mercury/Ford Cougar?

Aston Martin Vansquish

Another update to a previous post, I have more pictures of the Miata based Aston Martin. It looks just as awkward from other angles as it does from the front. The Hyundai Sonata tails are a nice touch (although they do look a bit like those on the Vanquish

Miabra

I had this car waiting to be posted for a while - I didn't realize I hadn't until my previous post where I tried to reference it. Anyway, here's the Miata based Cobra I was talking about. I suppose it doesn't really look THAT bad, in a cute anime kind of way. It's like a Pokémon Cobra. Baby got back though...

Oh, my, god. Becky, look at that trunk.
It is sooo big. *scoff*
It looks like, one of those kit cars.
But, you know, who understands those kit car guys? *scoff*
They only like them, because,
it looks like a Colbra, 'kay?
I mean, that trunk, is just sooo big.
I can't believe it's just so round, it's like,
out there, I mean - gross. Look!
It's just so ... fugly!

Puny Car

The Mazda Miata seems to be turning into the darling of the kit world, as you can transform the car into any horribly proportioned creation you can imagine, from an Aston Martin to a Cobra. Or in this case, a early Mustang convertible.

Super Stepside

Billed as "the ultimate pickup", the Super Stepside is a bit of an oxymoron - given that the donor "truck" for this kit is full-size GM sedans from the 80's.

I first saw and posted this kit in 2005. I correctly guessed what it was made of, but thought something that looked this horrid was a homemade one-off. But it's actually available to purchase as a kit. People actually bought them, as more than one exist.

Early models such as the one posted earlier don't appear to have headlights, while the one above has some pilfered from the exotic Chevy Malibu.

Fug and Let Die

Some screen shots of the Corvorado featured in the James Bond flick, "Live and Let Die". The last two words of the title are most appropriate in this case.

The Corvorado has been featured here in the past. Basically a period Corvette styled to look like a period Eldorado, for whatever reason.

Queasy Rods: Thunderbird Fords

"Easy Rods" other available kit is one I've stumbled across before. However it now seems to be available in infinite varieties, from '49 Ford to '49 Mercurys to '55 Crown Vics. The one thing the all share though is that they're all based off the '89-'97 Thunderbird - a point that is painfully driven home if you look between the wheel wells. The early 50's designs look as attractive on the angular 80's styling of the T-Bird as Micheal Jackson wearing a poodle skirt. Almost makes the Belaro period correct.

Random thoughts: Maybe this car was inspired by Micheal Jackson, given that as he aged he started to morph into a poor representation of what Liz Taylor looked like in the 50's...
