The Worst Appearance Mods

One I just captured in the wild here in Motown. Why do folks think blue wheels make a car look good? It looks even worse than usual when they're hubcaps like this one.

 

[Playsinsnow]

Kid's first mod? I was hoping to see blue wheels, not painted hubcaps with a half can of old paint. Looks like he painted them on the car too.

So ugly did not notice the TB behind it.

Guy in the TB pulled in as I was pulling up to take the pic.

Spray em blue or spray em black or spray em pink... spray paint n wheels just don't look good.

I didn't see the V6 right away. 4x4 is done well though.

4x4 is done well though.

Except if it isn't 4x4 you just never know with some people. They have some options, turn signal mirrors, fogs, two-tone, but they're missing a bunch of other stuff, like XM and RainSense. Since it's not FULLY loaded, who's to say?

How you figure OnStar missing?

What does fully loaded have to do with 4x4?

 

[Mooseman]

I guess you didn't see the Onstar antenna on the roof?

Probably they were badges taken off a Toyota or something from the U-Pull-It yard.

How about this for a mod? A rebadged GMT360 as a Cadillac?

You know, I'm not one to advocate for the lowering of trucks, especially an old Binder, but if you'd get rid of that fugly stack it wouldn't be too bad.

 

[blazinlow89]

The rust orange paint and the stack on the side throw the entire thing off. I like the wheels with the slammed body, that paint color just does not do it for me.

 

[HARDTRAILZ]

I love that paint. Would do mine like that if money were no issue.

That stack...it fits to me. I could be fine without but it doesn't bother me. I would not have installed but not sure I would pull it off.

I meant XM. And with the somewhat pick-and-choose nature of the dealership, could very well not have 4x4. Then again, LT package with two-tone and the body-colored billet.... it probably is a 4x4 in reality, but I've seen stuff make ludicrous claims. V8 badges on an earlier non-EXT TrailBlazer, that was a good one.

I guess you didn't see the Onstar antenna on the roof?

I didn't see the XM RADIO antenna, no.

It could be one of those that looks awesome in person. I have seen cars in pictures that look horrible in real life, but look sweet in pictures.

I think a deep blue or metallic silver would set that truck off.

And a bit less "bling bling." I don't understand the idea behind a "rusty" body, a black matte stack, and super-chrome rims. It just doesn't add up. The black and rust at least get along.

Something about 20+" rims all shined up just doesn't say "classic workhorse" to me.

Hmm, that's where I'd have to disagree, I just don't see cool colors doing it for this particular truck. Red, maybe yellow, maybe even orange, but I just don't know... I actually think the rusty look on this particular truck is really awesome.

Real patina outdoes faked every time. Gives it real character. At that rate, should have just left the thing all-original.

Unless they cleared straight over the rust, which to me would be pretty sweet. I love a good rat rod.

Ok I have to admit something now, looking at the picture on the 17" laptop screen, vs the screen on the S4. The truck looks a lot better. The stack still seems out of place, but seeing some of the detail in the paint changes my opinion.

Then you would love Torque Fest. Seems to me to be a Midwest thing, it was amazing. They allowed cars I believe up to 1965, but the real showcase were pre-1949, and they had rat rods there, too.

Age the stack on the rust colored truck, give it a curve at the top toward the back, just a little, not much, and that's a hot ride.

[Sparky]

I'm sure that doesn't impede airflow to the radiator too badly right?

Careful guys. I found a pic of its owner...

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'll love this.

And we have a man down! This was found on an "Irvington St." though I have no idea which city.

No, don't really love it, but different nonetheless. At least it is a bit original. I wonder how the Falcon gets away with something blocking the driver's view (unless it comes off when it's being driven).
And for a second, I thought that Bumble Bee had a satellite antenna mounted to it.

Hey Roadie - I think you said it - this first picture fits the "somebody covered their car in hot glue and drove through the JC Whitney catalog" or something like that.

Those almost look like Tampa Bay Bucs flags on it (once your eyes adjust to all that other crap)

I wish it was, but sadly those are United States Marine Corps flags being flown on that ridiculous truck

Ahh, so THAT's what happens when someone gets dishonorably discharged, but they can't let it go....

Guess the guy decided to take it out on his truck. I am all for supporting the USMC, but tasteful. Its like an ugly baby with a face only a mother could love. His truck is that baby

Not only is it ridiculous it is not even parking correctly.

Actually it is. There are some stores and movie theaters down here that have handicapped spots sideways like that. I assume for wheel chair accessibility, or vehicles with wheel chair ramps.

Holy mother of ........ what the hell happened to that truck?!?!?!

 

[HARDTRAILZ]

It was modded by a ricer in the dark while wearing a blindfold and tripping on good acid.

 

[Ghoster]

I think I threw up a little.
