The origins of car modifications can be traced back to the 1920s–1930s in California, when “Hot Rodding” became a thing. It’s a transformation of a vehicle to be lighter and faster for racing. In the beginning, those were old cars that had been stripped of all nonessential parts like bumpers, windshields, and hoods and had modified or new engines to be more powerful.
Eventually, it became a legitimate sport. Car clubs began to form, and race tracks were built so that people could show off their customized builds. Interestingly, the “Hot Rod” races were done in a straight line, as previously they were done illegally on city streets or straight roads. The racers would start at the same point and time after a given signal. The first car to cross the finish line became the winner. This gave way to the colorful culture of automotive modifications that we know today.

Not all mods are bad or tasteless, they can be renewed and brought back to life by someone who's willing to put in some work. Here are some popular and unharmful ways a vehicle can be modified:
- Repainting your car can make the biggest difference, but if you don’t enjoy making such long-term commitments, there is an alternative. Wrapping your car in vinyl film offers you the freedom to choose any color you’d like, provides protection, and can be removed whenever.
- A set of sports seats looks cool and can be more comfortable and supportive.
- Raising or lowering your vehicle’s height is also a great way to change the look of your car, and it might make your ride more comfortable.
- Changing out your rear and tail lights can also add detail and interest to your vehicle.
Before customizing your ride, it’s a good idea to check your country's guidelines for vehicles to avoid fines and safety issues.

If not done correctly, mods can not only ruin the look of your car, but also cause safety issues. Tinting your headlights and windows creates a more uniform and aggressive look, but it can affect visibility for the driver and others, causing unpleasant accidents. Covering seats may also pose a danger, as some of them now have airbags inside. In case of an accident, they may prevent them from deploying correctly. Moreover, inadequate wiring and faulty installations of aftermarket parts can lead to malfunctions. Modifications can greatly interfere with or disrupt a delicate vehicle system, so it’s best to be knowledgeable in this area before committing to customizing.

Poorly executed paint jobs and additional body parts can not only damage your car but also make it less appealing to potential buyers. Customizations that speed up the car can affect insurance payments, adding to the general cost of maintenance and making it a less attractive purchase. A loud exhaust will inevitably decrease your vehicle’s value, as not everyone enjoys driving a car that everyone can hear from a mile away. Unless you’re selling a modified build to a fellow enthusiast, some of these advancements can shorten your list of buyers and decrease your profit.

As some of these are just bad taste, or ridiculous, other should not be in here. All the vehicles that have obviously been in an accident or damaged, we should not be judging or shaming. Times are hard, and car repairs are very expensive. Many people cannot afford the body work needed to fix the cars, and they do what they have to do get by. And for those saying "that is what insurance is for", well, yes and no. If you don't have full coverage, you can end up responsible for the repairs. Like, it your car got hit while it was parked and the person who hit it took off. That would fall under comprehensive insurance, which many people don't have (many states only require liability) and you are stuck with the bill. Or, you were hit by someone who is uninsured. If you don't have uninsured driver on your package, guess what? Yep, you are responsible. And even if you have the proper insurance, a lot of people have high deductibles so they can afford the monthly premiums. So, you still need to come up with $1500 to get the repairs done, and a lot of people don't have that kind of money just laying around.
100% this. A couple of the pictures appear to just be indicative of a lack of ability to fix or buy a new car. BP is really getting petty with some of this stuff.

A few of these cars have been customized for the purpose of cars shows. They are built specifically for that purpose and are usually not daily drivers. Whether they are in bad taste or not is in the eye of the beholder.
Some of these are like some "bad" tattoos. Really bad decisions that were really well done.
