Hall of Fame: Worst Modified Cars

Driving along the highway, the need for creativity and individualism has grown to a fever pitch. Ever since those oh so glorious Fast and Furious movies took off, the need for fiberglass body kits, neon lights, over-sized spoilers and sparkly paint jobs have ruled the streets with an aluminum fist. Now, with most early mod culture guys moving on to larger toys, there are still the few who cannot let go of those glory days. Better still, there are those modified cars that just didn’t make the cut for Import Tuner magazine. Don’t worry guys and gals, there’s a place for your “unique” car in the Worst Modified Hall of Fame.

The 2014 Induction:

The Mustard Taurus is the first induction to the Hall of fame, mainly for it’s warm and welcoming puke colored pearly paint and robust hips coming from a magnificently over sized body kit. The junk in that trunk makes it a shoe in for the HOF.

The “Bugatti Supra” was an original idea taken from nature itself representing the ageless idea that mimicry is the best form of flattery. However, no one should be fooled into thinking this $15,000 car is worth the price of a small island. Kudos to the rear fender racing stripes.

Speaking of mimicry this car is going through an identity crisis. Part German, part Japanese and all-around confusing this tangerine beauty receives an automatic bid into the Hall of Fame for worst mods. It could also receive a nod for best car camouflage, but the choice is yours.

This Retro Geo Metro is taking a walk on the wild side. Dressed to kill, this Metro realized it was on it’s last legs and went in for a complete makeover. However, no one mentioned to the owner that plastic surgery isn’t always the answer. Well, this tin can will never be crushed again, not any time soon at least!

The final induction for the worst modified cars comes from a very special place. A garbage can. This Toyota Camry found its customization inspiration from a child’s mind built by a the hands of an adult capable of using scissors, Elmer’s glue and a ruler. How wonderful it is to see an unused lightweight material such as cardboard to keep not only the weight down for racing, but also fitting into any shoestring racer’s budget. Welcome to the Hall of Fame.
