Default What's your modding embarrasment?

Come on guys we've all done something or somethings that we look back on and cringe over.

My first Escort had hub caps so I painted them black and the put those bright green Ford ovals on it. I thought it looked the bees knees back then

And when I first got my RS I put a Rattlesnake front bumper on it and 4 spotlights above the bumper as well as the two in the bumper

Ohhh the shame
