Angry Golf is Angry
This Golf looks like a caricature of itself. In fact, it kind of looks like the angry face emoticon. Also, this is the reason people don't use Chrysler Sebrings as parts cars for boy racer customization...

Supra Fugly
I apologize for the horrible quality, but this was snagged from the road. Basically a late '80's Toyota Supra, modified to include a body kit with a gigantic Toyota emblem grille and - confusingly - Nissan 350Z headlights. I had to do a double take just to understand what I was looking it. You would think that with the number of people that graft Toyota Celica headlights onto their abominations, that that would be the go-to headlight for ruining a Toyota. Especially if you're faithful enough to the brand to turn the entire front end of the car into a giant Toyota logo.
Neolier
At first this looks like your typical sadly modified Neon - until you see that the back end of a Cavalier seems to have been grafted in. Perhaps doubly ironic, the license plate says "The Import Specialist".

Audi A3: Flaming Tremors Worm Edition
Wow - this has it all. Ugly chrome dubs, pearlescent paint, and an airbrushed flaming checkered flag. Unfortunately the front end resembles one of the worms from Tremors choking on an intercooler.

Honda Type-SLR
Yes, this is an attempt to create an SLR out of a 1996 Honda Accord SEDAN. It's difficult to see just how much work went into this, as apparently their photographer finds it very difficult to take photos with more than 3/4 of the car visible. Possibly on purpose, as I'm not really sure how they resolved the rear end. The only shot of it is below, and rather dark.
It's hard to tell, but it appears they might have achieved the triangular Benz tail light look by masking off the taillights. Compare with the photo below.
Also worth noting is a unique attempt at closing wheel gap. Instead of defaulting to larger rims and/or tires, they decided to drastically close in the the wheel openings with fender flares. I'm not sure how this is driveable, but then having no reverse lights (they've been covered up as you can see above) or visible spots to mount a license plate it's possible that this car will never move under it's own power on public roads. Which I suppose is a service to us all.
The enhanced shot below might better illustrate. As well as cutting off key areas of the car, the photos have very poor contrast - a lot of the detail gets lost. Again - possibly on purpose (to hide flaws?).

Casper the Fugly Intergra

While on the topic of spoilers, this guy decided to go a route opposite of the Mustang below and install the new spoiler on top of the old one. Double downforce, yo. This car earns bonus point for multiple skulls sprouting out of the bodywork.
Front End Downfarce, Part 2: Ground Dynam(Retangle)c Mustang

So you bought a gigantic new rear spoiler. But what do you do with your stock spoiler now that the park bench is now installed on the front? This innovative mind channeled the Civic below and grafted it to the hood. It’s aerodynamic, yo. This ingenuity was also applied to the graphics up front – if you’ve found that your lettering is not lining up, a good way to fill up the empty space is to just widen your letter “I”.

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.

The Thing from Another World


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

RIP Cookie Monster
EBay has blessed the world with insight into another work of art. Starting off with the exterior, this riced up white Celica notchback appears to have hit a family of smurfs at speed. What a mess! The blue theme is carried on in the rims and in the centre of the hood, but unfortunately they seem to be different hues.
Out back we can take into full effect just how massive that rear wing is. The trunk on the notchback allows for a much larger spoiler than that of the liftback. It's possible that that's actually a park bench sitting up there. The rear bumper has been graced with two grinning skulls with glowing red eyes. Although it's hard to tell in all the smurf splatter up front, there's a grinning airbrushed skull in the dark centre portion of the hood as well.
Inside things get even more interesting. You might not be able to tell in the small pics, but the entire inside of the car has been coated in three kinds of fur. The longer blue fur is not unlike that of the Cookie Monster. It probably look the hides of 30 Cookie Monsters to cloth the interior of this car. Between the skinning their hides to line hideous cars and being captured for use on Sesame Street, the Cookie Monster is surely close to extinction. The white fur has more of a terry cloth texture. The final fur is a longer black variety used sparingly on the doors. Also note the rope detail on the door pull, which gives it a nice nautical pimp feel.
And last but not least is the full width rear view mirror, most likely needed for the visibility lost due to the mounting of the park bench on the trunk.

Nissan 350F

This is the second hideous Nissan that seems to have ties to a higher power - note what appears to be a Jesus fish on the rear bumper.Standard glued on detailing is present, as is the ricey rear spoiler. A few notable details though that push this car to the extreme. One is the strange feelers protruding from the front bumper. Curb feelers perhaps? Second is the screwed on homemade side skirts and front air damn. Not sure what they're made of, but it almost looks like baseboard molding. The picture below show them in detail, and they do look like wood... That picture also showcases the pièce de résistance - two mismatched, screwed on fake side exhausts.

Bavarian Sushi



Don't know what's up with all the Honda BMWs as of late. Mating an M3 with a Civic appears to suffer more than mating a 5 series with an Acura...
