Cars That Celebrities Ruined With Over-The-Top Modifications

7: Marshawn Lynch – Jeep Wrangler

If you’ve heard the term “Beast Mode” then you probably remember Marshawn Lynch rumbling to some monstrous touchdowns in the NFL a few years ago. His Jeep Wrangler is far from being the normal ride of a football star. Instead of featuring several hideous modifications that start with the obscene paint job and the horrible pushbar installed on the front of the vehicle.

Don’t even get us started on the green rims, which have no intrinsic value to the design of the car. Everyone wants to customize a Jeep Wrangler nowadays but it’s sad to see one like this one being so defouled. There are much better designs that Lynch could have gone with that would look better and cost less.

6: Stephen Ireland – Bentley Continental

Ireland is another famous footballer from overseas, and with all that fame comes a unique fleet of cars. But his Bentley Continental looks like “The Fast and the Furious” gone bad. The obscene body kits do nothing for the car but make it look stupid. Then you have a cheap set of wheels that also look out of place on the expensive exotic car.

Bentley is a brand that’s usually equated with luxury and opulence. When you devalue a car like this, the entire image takes a hit. Ireland could have done several mods to his car that would improve the performance and the looks. Instead, he chose to build an over-the-top go-kart for adults and the laughingstock of the Bentley world.

5: Nicki Minaj – Lamborghini Aventador

Minaj is another one that let the fame get to her head by building a Lamborghini that looks like an ice cream cone. The bright pink paint job stands out and if that wasn’t enough she also has a set of pink Forgiato rims. The entire design of this Lamborghini is loud and lavish and does nothing for the value of the car.

You’d think that someone who had the kind of resources that Minaj has would put a bit more effort into her ride. The Aventador is a great car in every sense of the word, but for the most part, you can’t get over the look of hers. The bright pink paint job and the wheels just do nothing to set the car apart in a positive way.

4: Paris Hilton – Bentley Continental

Hilton was one of the first celebrities to own an over-the-top modified car. She owned the original Pink Bentley Continental, one of the hottest cars at the time. The bright pink paint job looked like a Barbie toy taken to a new level. On top of that, the wheels were also quite hideous and did nothing for the car.

But Paris took things a step further and had a diamond-encrusted shifter installed as well. This was surely the start of the “bling-bling” era and we can’t get over how ugly the car is. Hilton still drives a pink Bentley to this day, albeit one of the newer models and we’ve heard that there is no diamond shifter this time.

3: Justin Bieber – Cadillac CTS-V

As if Bieber’s last car wasn’t bad enough to look at, he also owns a CTS-V. The Cadillac CTS-V has experienced a fall from grace in the last decade, going from a hot rod to a car that no one wants. But apparently, Bieber figured he was going to make a custom one and had a flat black painted two-door.

Aside from the ugly paint job or wrap, the car is fairly stock and if you know about the CTS-V then you know that the car is a shadow of itself. There was a time when the CTS-V was one of the funniest to drive cars on the road. Nowadays it is just an appearance package that GM slaps on the remaining Cadillac sedan models.

2: Josh Gordon – Porsche Panamera

Unafraid to take things to the extreme, Josh Gordon drives an awful-looking Porsche Panamera. Camo used to be in style but nowadays painting a car with a camo style is just outlandish, ask Chris Brown. This particular Panamera topped things off with a set of bright orange wheels, which also do nothing for the car.

The style of the Panamera is a bit over the top anyway, so to see it look like this is a little bit too much. Porsche had hoped to entice buyers who wanted a Porsche but also needed the extra passenger space. It’s sad to see a unique car like the Panamera turn out like the hideous ride that we see above.

1: LeBron James – Lamborghini Aventador

‘King James’ has been a leading player for almost two decades now. His taste in cars ranges from the team that he is playing on, and more recently James has that L.A. vibe. James has a Lamborghini Aventador that he turned into what looks like a rolling Nike advertisement. The car is flashy, to say the least, but the wrap just looked downright ugly.

We’re sure that there could have been a better choice for a vehicle wrap than this. Another celebrity chose to ruin the beautiful stock looks of the Aventador. The Lamborghini sports car can’t seem to catch a break with celebrities who want to go over the top. James is an excellent basketball player but this choice in cars is simply questionable.
