The Worst Appearance Mods

[dmanns67]

Volvo is involved in everything from earth moving equipment, Penta marine engines, Prevost buses, cars, and a variety of trucks.

Mack baby! 80s Superliner with those awesome stripe graphics, now that's a truck.

80's and 90's that was Mack. Since Volvo bought Mack, the difference between the engines is the valve cover and paint on the engine. Both use same components. Trannys are the same, either the T300 manual tranny or AMT tranny (Automatic Manual Transmission).

That's why I indicated the year range.

Even though you're a Volvo guy, I have to say that I think the Peterbilt 379 was a really good looking truck. That being said, Volvo makes some really nice trucks nowadays.

Here's my biggest pet peeve: Stick figure families, on anything! Like a single mother once told me, are they trying to make me feel bad with their perfect family? They can go drive off a cliff!

Found this - under $3 US

I hate stickers, but my favorite one I have seen was on a jacked up Dodge Cummins diesel. It said, "I'd rather be cummin than strokin"

Ugh, I cringe when I see things like that on the road. There is a jacked up truck around here with something along the lines of, "don't laugh at this truck, your daughter is in it" or something like that. Ick. To each their own, but I think stuff like that is a bit crude as you never know who is reading/looking at it (kids for instance).

Actually I've always heard the opposite!!! A Beware of Dog sign is an admission that you dog is vicious.

I've seen it go both ways. Damned if you do...

That is what my friend (a lawyer) told me as well. He said to get a sign that says either "dog on premise" or "trained dog on property". Beware of dog is admission that you know the dog is vicious or dangerous. Atleast how it is around here. He got to see a case where that happened.

Plus the dog on premise is also a sign for firefighters, if there is a fire, there should be a dog running around.

 

[HARDTRAILZ]

Spray painted wheels is still one of the worst appearance mods to me.

 

[TXBlazer]

 

[mcsteven]

WTH is this (other than "it used to be a Ford pickup.")?

I was trying to see if the mod went with anything, like if it were pulling a float or something.

Is that from your TB? Looks like you have a little crack going on?

You should know our defrost vents don't look like that

It's one I found online.

 

[IllogicTC]

Here you go, dmanns. Also not from me. It's good to see Ford getting more performance-oriented in their Fusion line-up

Love the first shot. The person that did that to the Hummer should be tarred, feathered, then drawn and quartered. The Crown Vic is a wash - doesn't really affect anything. LOVE the Jedi Firebird!!

You've put this one in the wrong thread.

Best. Mod. Ever.

 

[Playsinsnow]

Many of these are old. How about misguided tb owners? I was late to a craigslist purchase otherwise I would have done a showroom walk around. Newer LT front end. But why the $25 hubcap set?

 

[nieman88]

I have a serious addiction to Monster,

Dude, that a lot of Monster!
...i have three M's. Two on my TB and one on the Rover. haha. And i think theres one on the Blazer we sold. I miss that blazer.

 

[The_Roadie]

Some people inherit a strong mod gene, but remain shallow of pocket because the mod gene crowds out their ability to hold a decent paying job. Poor souls. Pity them. Give them Miatas or Jeep Libertys to abuse.

 

[willbill92]

If you look closely to the pic of the hummer you will see that the owner is hiding from the camera on the other side.

I'm wondering if fleet order or special-order TBs didn't have something like this. RPO code PFE is just called "Wheels, 17x7." No description such as bright aluminum, etc. This option required RPO code 5TE (Flt/Gov Order) and used P245/65R17 tires.

Haha. I guess since they could not afford the SVT, SS worked in its place

Hub caps are ugly. Hub caps on a TB is even uglier. Auto manufacturers need to stop being cheap and never put a hub cap on a wheel ever again .

Well, spinner hub caps are pretty sweet

 

[Ghoster]

Skank juice. Yup. Worst mod ever. Skank juice on the hood of your freshly polished truck.

Was this an attempt by the owner to make up for it not being an SS?

Maybe it wasn't legally his.

I think that's what the "racing" stripes were for haha.

Maybe just a set of steelies with snows on them for winter and he didn't like the bare steel wheel look perhaps?

Quick glance looked liked ATs. Hankooks for sure.

I offered to buy my wife a cheapo set. She liked the black look. So being at a grocery store in the morning, it may have been lady perhaps?


Does Hankook make a snow/winter tire? ATs are not winter tires.

A fine specimen, indeed. This is the well-known, but rarely-seen, fully-evolved BROTRUCK. And you know, parked in a handicap spot with no handicap permit shown, because their back must be hurting from having to carry all those skulls outta Wal-Mart.

 

[blazinlow89]

I believe the correct term is douche.

They'd love WV inspection. Every single one of those lights has to work. Every. One.

 

[Envoy_04]

Good Lord that is ugly!

But I do like the Yellow early 70s Chevy I see in the background.

 

[Sparky]

Super Duty on a F150 to boot.

 

[Mark20]

That is one ugly a$$ decking out! Man I feel so sorry for that Ford. I can see it just careening over a cliff to put itself out of its own misery.

 

[dmanns67]

I wonder if those sweet air horns on top actually work. That owner wasted a lot of money. Did you take the pic and maybe happen to see the drive of that awesome truck

Ask him what the hell he was thinking. Someone went EMO style on their truck

 

[HARDTRAILZ]

4000 HP worth of stick ons

 

[Hatchet]

So they are the ones keeping pepboys in business.

 

[smt 59]

I wonder if the springs had to be beefed up to support the extra weight.

 

[djthumper]

Anyone recognize this one?
