Modifying cars can be a fun and exciting way to make your vehicle truly your own, but sometimes, things can go horribly wrong. The Instagram page "[Messed] Up Looking Cars" has a collection of cringe-worthy examples of car owners who took things a little too far. From a giant hamburger-looking vehicle to another car with some duct-taped parts, these modifications will make you question the taste of some enthusiasts.

With that being said, it's a cautionary tale for car enthusiasts everywhere, a reminder that sometimes less is more when it comes to customizing your ride. So, if you're considering a mod for your car, it's best to think twice and take a look at some of the most popular tweets to avoid making the same mistakes as these unfortunate car owners.

When it comes to modifying your car, it's important to remember that it's not just about making it look cool, it's also about making sure you're not breaking any laws, compromising safety, or lowering the resale value. It's like a game of "Modification Roulette" - you never know what you're gonna get.

First things first, make sure you're not breaking any laws with your mod choices. From the size of your tires to the height of your ride, there are a lot of laws to keep in mind. And trust me, you don't want to be the guy (or girl) getting pulled over with an illegal modification.

I scrolled through the list and a lot of these, like this one, are art-car creations. When I lived in Houston we had the annual Art-Car Parade, where people strutted their artistically modified cars.

This is why the stoplights are on the other side of the road not right above you. If they're right above you you're too close to them. Also why there are lights on the pole as well as the arm. Trucks built like this are nothing new, though never quite as cool looking.

I have the feeling this will be another Bored Panda three-posts-fit-the-theme situation.

This reminds me of a PSA from New Zealand with a car colliding head-on with a hamburger.

Amazing execution but makes me feel a bit queasy thinking about spoiled meat and cheese left out too long.

Is this the lunch wagon at the many construction sites I used to work at? Clearly, no. We got the "roach coaches" back then.

Every June in Seattle we have a solstice parade - yes, it is the one with dozens of naked body-painted bicycle riders - and the art cars are part of it. There are some really cool ones. You can Google Seattle art cars to see them.

Safety is also a big concern when it comes to modifying your car. Sure, that spoiler may make your car look like it's ready for the racetrack, but it could also make it harder to handle at high speeds. And that loud exhaust may sound cool, but it could be dangerous for pedestrians, especially those with hearing impairments.

Clever, unless the car flips because that block will decapitate someone.

And let's not forget about resale value. Some mods, like a new paint job or performance upgrade, can actually increase the value of your car. But others, like custom body kits or aftermarket rims that aren't popular among buyers, could make it harder to sell your car in the future.

Finally, remember that modifying your car is a big investment, both in terms of time and money. Make sure you're choosing mods that are worth the investment, and not just following the latest trends. Because, let's be real, those spinners may have been cool in the early 2000s, but now they're just a reminder of a questionable fashion choice.

Why would you go around advertising the fact that you need a root?

When you fit a loud tailpipe/exhaust and then need a massive sound system to hear your music.....then fit a louder tailpipe/exhaust so you can hear that over the loud music...then even more speakers to...etc etc etc
