Modifying cars is always a subjective thing, so in this we understand that many times it boils down to personal preference. For those who are old enough to remember what the tuning scene was when it first burst onto the scene, many of these car mods will make you cringe, and some will make you laugh. The aftermarket industry has grown quite a bit since these days, and like anything that evolves it’s easy to point and laugh at the early attempts to make your car cool.
It’s been quite some time since many of these worst car mods trends have been popular, but many of them are still commonplace at any car show or meet-up. Some of these worst car mods are mistakes that you or a friend may have mistakenly made, but no worries nobody is laughing at you ( out loud at least )
From oversized wings to ugly body kits, excessive camber and glue on modifications, our list has a little bit of it all. Check here to see some of the worst car mods and worst car mod trends of all time.

Ten Worst Modified Car Trends
Halloween is just ahead so what better time to look back on some of the absolute worst modified car trends ever? Modified cars and the industry as a whole has certainly grown out of it's boy racer labels and street racer image. The fact that many of these hideous car trends can be linked back to the era of the very first Fast and Furious movie is no coincidence. It was an age when modifying cars was extremely popular, and some people took their own creativity perhaps a bit too far.
Many of your know some "friends" who may have made these modified faux pas or you might have even thought that some of these car trends were actually cool at one time, because a lot of these worst modified car trends are around even today. It's a subjective list so please don't take it personally if one of these modifications or trends on the list happens to be on your ride, and as always if there's an entry that you feel has been overlooked, let me know!
Here is a look back at some of the worst modified car trends of all time.
Fangs
Or really any body kit that makes your car look like an animal. What may look aggressive and mean off your car, most definitely will look like shit on it. This is one modified car trend that should have never been.
Of course if you have any of these mods on your car, we understand that this list is more subjective than any other on our site. Many of these modifications in moderation or done differently can add to your build, so don’t take it so personally!
