It takes a certain type of man to pimp out a cheap car and it's usually a man with limited funds having absolutely no luck with the ladies. Rather than saving up to buy a decent car, these dudes actually waste a bunch of money making their existing crappy car look even crappier and it makes their problems with the ladies even worse. Maybe one day these poor schleprocks will realize that a woman doesn't care about the size of your spoiler, but I doubt it. Occasionally thrown into the mix are creative type folks that don't take themselves or their cars too seriously and want to have a bit of fun. Whatever the case may be, here are 25 of the worst pimped-out rides of all time.

You know that game we all like to play where we ask our friends "if you could buy any car in the world, what would it be?" Well, celebrities don't have to play that game... they live it. After they're done buying their dream car they typically buy their second dream car followed by their 3rd dream car which they let their assistants use to buy groceries and stuff from Best Buy. So just in case you needed another reason to hate celebrities, here's 20 more.

Be it at car shows, races, or searching through online forums and pictures, we have a front-row seat into the diverse world of custom cars. From the Abt Sportsline R8 GTR to a Mansory G Wagon with a fugly paint job, to a DUB Show Winner with an interior so bright it would give Hellen Keller a seizure, we see it all. Recently we've noticed a number of trends growing in popularity. Some I would fight for with more heart than the 2nd Amendment, others I would gladly throw into an active volcano. After sifting through our files, we've compiled a list of the Top 10 Crazy Modified & Customized Car Trends We Love and Hate. As they did in the Roman Colosseum, some will get the thumbs up, and some will get fed to the lions.

The DUB Show Tour always presents a bounty of colorful, tricked-out and fantastical rides that are the fruits of thousands of hours of labor and boundless creativity. The show in Anaheim was no different and featured all kinds of exotics, sports cars, SUVs, classics and low-riders in every flavor possible. Snoop's 1967 Pontiac Parisienne, aka Snoop's Lakers ride, and his 1967 Fleetwood Cadillac 'Snoopdeville' were on display as was Nelly's DUB Edition wide-body 2011 Ford Mustang GT 5.0.

The bike stunt show was pretty wild as the Famous Stars and Straps riders busted out all kinds of wheelies, stoppies, burnouts and coffin maneuvers. While checking out all of the mad whips, The Game, New Boyz, J. Cole, B.O.B., IYAZ, Nipsey Hussle, Glasses, California, Nola Darling, U-N-I and Jay Rock performed. The squad from Power 106 FM hosted a live show with Big Boi, Tattoo, Luscious Liz, E-man and Fuzzy all did their thing. All in all, it was a good time and even the mid-day rain storm couldn't put a damper on the festivities.

The Lamborghini Reventon is the Unobtainium of the auto world. With only 20 examples produced at $1.5 million a pop, you just won't see one of these things in the parking lot of your local Vons. It was inevitable that someone would come up with a conversion kit, the question has always been with the execution.

We've seen other Lamborghini customization packages, such as the Premier4509 SuperVeloce kit and been pretty amazed, so we know it can be done. The 2010 Lamborghini Murcielago Rev-Air Roadster is a pretty solid pass at duplicating the exact look of the amazing Reventon.

Cam-Shaft is a German car wrapping shop with high-end customization aspirations. They recently completed a camouflage vinyl wrap for a Ferrari 458 Italia that was specifically designed with a special matte-brown hue to match the interior of the customer's vehicle. As the company expands their offerings we look forward to see what kind of interior and exterior mods they introduce. For now, we will just bask in the glory of the camouflage Ferrari 458 Italia sitting in the snow. 

This is not the first time we've seen this phenomenon, although this is the first time we have come across detailed pictures with close-ups. The application in this case looks flawless. Check out some of the other camouflage creations, for better or worse, of past exotic cars we've come across: WTF? Is Camouflage the New Black? These Exotic Car Owners Seem to Think So... In any case, check out the photos after the jump...

Scion always seems to wow us at every auto show. Not only is their display area usually the most creative, but since customization and tuning is woven into the very fabric of the brand, they throw out some really amazing automotive presentations. The 2009 SEMA Show was no different. This year featured xB Tuner Challenge Cars from Mummbles Marketing, Eneri Abillar and Bowls along with a pair of xD customization from 0-60 Mag and Kogi. Scion also featured our favorite car on display, the Epic Cartel tC (shown above).

The SEMA Show has something for everyone. It has everything from lifted cars to lowered trucks, new turbos the size of Jessica Simpson ('09 Jessica, not '07), and more wheels than a freight train. It sounds like a perfect place to go, but “everything” also means “anything”. When you go to sleep you can dream Natalie Portman or Cathy Bates. The Caccia Customs Cars Ghepardo is the latter.

The underpinnings are a strange incestuous marriage between a 2002 Camaro frame and a 2002 Corvette's motor and suspension. The engine is mid-mounted, to give the car a “supercar-ish” identity. This sounds like something thought up on a forum for Chevy fans after a pint of moonshine. So with an F-body skeleton and a Vette heartbeat, Caccia started the real work for this project, giving it a body.
