I love custom cars and I love it when somebody takes an ordinary car and
makes it into a work of art. In this article we look at beauty that seems to
only be held in the eye of the beholder. When custom car shows such as SEMA come
along I get excited to see what creations will be shown that accentuate the
artistic abilities of custom car designers. On the other hand there are about
five putrid custom cars for each good one. Since there are so many distasteful
modifications being done it makes me feel as though I am the one lacking the
taste. It’s one thing to be young and want to make your car unique to your taste
yet you don’t have the funds to do so. I don’t however understand why you have
cheap fiberglass ground effects that chip and break before you ever get primer
on them. What I do love is seeing massive rear wing spoilers pushing down the
backend of a front-wheel-drive car. As we all know Honda Civics and Acura
Integras are known for the ass end lifting off the ground around 55 mph in the
mall parking lot.
Most people set a stereotype to each car owner and modification done but the
more I look into it I realize that every race on this planet has individuals
that properly customize their vehicles by using quality parts and then there’s
the side of the race that gets all their custom parts from AutoZone. My issue is
that I am a stickler for quality workmanship. One of my first jobs was being the
peon at an auto body shop and when we did custom work it took massive amounts of
time and effort but the final product was always well worth the blood, sweat and
two years. So let’s take a look at some epic fails amongst custom car
designs.
As we see there are plenty of bad decisions when it comes to customizing
one’s vehicle and some of them almost seem as though it’s a practical joke; and
I have even made the mistake of treating one as a practical joke and laughing
with the owner but as my laughing caused more veins to pop out of the owners
forehead I soon realized that he looked at the vehicle and actually planned for
it to look like garbage.
This is actually an untouched production model!
