Bad car mods...

Hey guys just looking online... you see all kinds of mods. Im talking the kind where people throw money at something but fail. Killing the best of the car to be "over the top"

For example the "sniper" honda S2000 with the viper srt10.

Doesn't have to be a performance car to ruin the one thing that all cars have, wheels.

I hate those fender add ons I've been seeing on exotic cars to increase the car's width. Pretty tacky.
