Toyota Turd-cel



You know how is some hardcore race cars based off stock models, they sometimes remove a headlight and replace it with a hole for pushing air more directly into the intake? I think that's the look this guy is trying to achieve. Also - I'm quite sure that his fancy warped chin spoiler is actually that plastic edging you can buy for gardens. I got quite familiar with the stuff last spring doing yard work...

Also present are a hick-Cosworth dual spoiler out back, and the obligatory stickers outlining what is (and most likely isn't) under the hood.

SLKill it with fire




Basically a first-gen SLK with CLK (or SL?) headlights and the ugliest grillework this side of this car and an Audi. Even ignoring the mug, the colour combo of orange and blue would still keep it safely fugtastic. Especially when you get inside, and the blue leather takes on a disgusting Barney-hide hue.

Although I do kinda like the taillights, in an 80's Benz kinda way.

Bōsōzoku

So I've stumbled across Bōsōzoku - a Japanese subculture of fugly weirdness who cars I featured previously on my site. I had an inkling they belong to a specific Japanese "style" as they all kinda matched in their own weird and fugly ways, and because of this I had a "Japan" subcategory already made for them. Now that I know what this is called, I've renamed it.

Click here for the new Bōsōzoku subcategory. Note that the label for this style is still "Japan", because I'm too lazy to go back through all the posts and change them.
