If you spent hours upon hours watching Pimp My Ride in the early 2000s, you might have dreamed of owning a totally awesome car. Maybe you’ve always wanted to adorn your Mini Cooper in flames or add rainbow lights to the bottom of your truck. There’s nothing wrong with infusing some personality into your ride. After all, if you want to make a statement when you pull up to the office, that’s your prerogative!

However, before you start making permanent changes to your vehicle, you’ll want to do plenty of research. Otherwise, you might end up with stupidity on wheels. We took a trip to the [Bad] Car Mods subreddit and gathered some of their funniest posts below. These photos prove that, sometimes, a humble Honda is way cooler than a botched BMW! Enjoy scrolling through these pics, and be sure to upvote the ones that give you a greater appreciation for your "boring" car.

As exciting as it can be to turn your little sedan into a traffic-stopping machine, the most important thing to keep in mind when modifying your car is safety. Safety should always come first, especially when we’re talking about operating a motor vehicle. Don’t make any changes that will put yourself or other drivers in danger, and remember that every modification you make should be practical. Keep that in mind, and you’ll be able to enjoy your custom wheels for years to come!

#27 I Present The Hondaghini

Blue car with fake Lamborghini decals and custom body panels, an attempt to make a cooler car but resulting in stupidity on wheels.

I did a double take and went back for photos. Called the guy and he states $52k-$55k invested, real Gallardo wheels AND tires, seats made from scratch, $10k in interior alone, custom exhaust, 120k miles on stock Honda drivetrain and he’s asking $25k OBO.

#28 My Neighbor Couldn’t Believe The Price To Have His Car Professionally Painted…

Car paint job with bubbles and imperfections, an example of failed attempts to make cars cooler with stupidity on wheels.

He painted his car himself. We have a storm coming, so I let him use my garage after he painted it to let it dry. Poor guy has hours of work to deal with the runs. They are all over the place. I tried my best to explain that it’s all in the prep and getting the paint gun dialed in (YouTube university). He has the attention span of a 5 year old though!
