Found via eBay, this beauty - believe it or not - is fitted with a custom body kit. Penned by the skilled hands of the world's foremost toddler car designer, it's vaguely reminiscent of a Ferrari Testarossa with the front end of a Cavalier. Randomly applied rectangular bump strips on the front and rear protect roughly 10% of the car from dings. The front end features a RAM Air hood and an innovative 4L gas tank sitting precariously in the grill. Crash test results pending.
The interior features trimless doors for weight savings, and a 6" slab of a leather sofa haphazardly glued to the dash for the occupants safety in the even of a crash.

Bondo Slipper
Is this Redneck Cinderella's ride to the ball or her bondo slipper? Damn - Snow White Trash is a better pun but it doesn't fit the storyline...
Fleetwoodsman
Not really sure what's going on here. I think this is a late 50's GM truck with it's roof chopped off and a Cadillac welded to the bottom. Whatever it is it has some severe muffintop going on.

Hot Rod Tracker
What do you get when you combine a Geo Tracker with a hot rod? Something you shouldn't have combined.

Super Dee-Duper
Remember Dinobots? I'm not sure, but I think this in one of the little known extras from the latest in the Transformer movie franchise that morphs into Barney the Dinosaur.

Transformers - Less Than Meets the Eye

Saw this beaut today. Basically a stock Pontiac G6, but with Transformer logos on the doors and truck, and with white racing stripes containing the text "TRANSFORMERS". To add to the peculiarity of the vinyl treatment, the trunk also sported TWO Dakar Rally stickers. Maybe it transforms into two time Dakar rally winner? The owner was also a little surprising - I was expecting a teenage male driver, but it turned out to be a twenty-something Asian woman.

Vital Evolution 7, Part 2
Found more pictures of the beloved Vital Evolution 7. And this time you can see the front end, which brings it into a whole other realm of fugliness. Sporting more home-made holes than the rear end, it also sports 350Z headlights. Not sure if the black vinyl in the older post was removed, or these pictures are pre-application. However note that the mesh has been painted yellow, and the text "Twin Turbo Formula 7" appears on the rear bumper.

Bedazzling
While it might appear to be just an ugly paint job, the devil is in the details. First, note that it seems some one took a Bedazzler to all the shut lines. Also note that the hood pins are chained to the front bumper. I'm not sure that's good for the paint finish.
Also, if you think those rims look oddly familair - they're taken from an SRT8 300C.

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”.

Twisted Daze




Pretty much and modified 3rd and 4th generation Honda Civic can be considered fugly, but here's a fine example. Apparently modified by "Twisted Daze", this robin's egg blue 4 door Civic has the obligatory wide-mouthed body kit and gigantic spoiler, as well as frenched taillights. All of which can't hide the fact that this is a boxy 80's economy car. Other fugly details include painted window visors (I'm guessing the poor man's attempt at a chop-top look), an astonishing 16 Honda logos on the exterior (yet strangely no mention of VTEC, VTECH, or Type R), and an interior seemly lined in industrial Berber carpeting and completely lacking instrumentation (in that I highly doubt the 4 remaining aftermarket gauges adequately relay all the information vital to driving).
Pontiac Slimebird

It's amazing to think that someone else thought this was a good look. Having a hard time deciding which car is worse, but I'll have to go with this Firebird for the lime green on teal paint alone. And for the fact that the flaming green bird motif (what is it - radioactive?) looks more like the car hit Slimer cruising on the highway. At least they only ruined a V6 Firebird and not a Trans-Am (although I suppose it could be an unfortunate Formula).

Vital Evolution 7


It sounds like a bad straight to VHS movie, but Vital Evolution 7 is actually a highly customized Mitsubishi GTO/3000GT. With a paint job that looks like an experimental safety car from the 70's, it's isn't exactly stealthy. Also, I doubt covering the rear window in plastic aids rearward visibility. Or is legal for that matter. At least you don't have to worry about the giant wing blocking your vision in the rear view mirror.
