40 Times People Ruined Their Cars With Dumb Mods, As Shared On This Instagram Page (New Pics)
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.
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.
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.
I love the absurdity hahaha my favourite random sticker was in Bali it read: I Love Mel's Boobs!. I promptly bought it for my brother who's wife's name is Mel. No idea who Mel is supposed to be but she is very popular in Bali lol
When a friend borrows your truck and you ask them to fill the tank afterwards.
Saw one like this the other day whole front end was held up with duct tape and twine
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

How do these cars ever get through their annual safety checks. 🤔
A lot of states in the US do not have annual checks. Mine does not.

In what country are these cars street legal? No way I could drive around here in more than half of those cars. Entertaining list all the same
'merica. Many of our states could not care less about what you drive. As long as it has seatbelts, you can see out of the windows, has tags, and can brake, you're good. Most of those states are in the South, like South Carolina, where I'm from.
