So I ask, what's worse? making "questionable" mods or being an unoriginal sheep and making the same mods as everyone else?
And before you judge, keep in mind that there are a lot of us out there that think ridiculously flared fenders with rivets, big spoilers, slammed suspensions, cockeyed wheels, etc. look just as "bad" as anything the OP did to his car.
All that said, OP (and everyone else) if you're posting pictures of your mods on this forum you're obviously looking for feedback. Unless you just discovered the internet yesterday you've got to expect at least some negativity..

I agree with the sentiment of "different strokes for different folks", but I'm afraid you're missing the point of
why this car is getting trolled.
I'll elaborate:
The disgust here is not from people not liking the mods so much as not liking to quality or care given to the car. If I take a LFA and strip the badges for Scion badges, I'm sure many people would disagree with that, and say that the car is bastardized, and whomever did it an idiot. However, if it was done with attention paid to the car, I see no issue. Take the same scenario, and instead you decide to spray paint on a Scion symbol, and it's just the pure inattentive care of the car that is shameful and disgusting.
I don't care that there's a tribal design on the dash, I don't care that Scion is on the hood, I don't care that there's red cords in the engine bay, or FR-S written there, I don't care that the headlights are blacked out.
What I do care about is the endless shit hanging from the rear view mirror, and most importantly,
the incredibly poor execution of what was done to this car.
Were my initial posts going to show this? No, this is internet trolling gold, so why respond with a well thought out essay as to why this car is indeed tasteless, and neglected mere moments from taking it home.
I frequent a Reddit called /r/shitty_car_mods we see stuff like this every day there, here are some prime examples:
Even if I didn't agree with the styling, it's the execution that will either command respect from people, or turn your car into a moving circus.
Then there are troll cars, which I can appreciate, because no shits were ever given:
But this is just a bastardization. You trade in your old car which has seat covers, stickers, and rims. I wouldn't even dare to call those "mods". Even the cheesy cars of the original Fast and Furious films had some sort of coherency to the design, this is just ADHD, spraypaint, and screws. If you wanted to "mod" your car, take a respectable amount of care and time to do it. Yes, anyone can drive there car home and apply sharpie and spray paint liberally, it doesn't mean that it's well done by any stretch.
I forgot the point of this initial rant. I think it was something to the effect of: haters have every right to hate. Once again, we shouldn't encourage turd polishing:
