Default Most "Interesting" Mods You've Seen ?

Was at the supermarket thisafternoon and saw an interesting looking AU. It had what looked like an NF/L LTD grille glued on over the top of the standard AU grille, crooked, and with no Ford badge, and an EL Ghia rear number plate mount on the front bumper... These pictures are terrible and out of focus, but you get some of the idea. You really had to see it to appreciate it. HEEHEH!!!

What strange/out of place mods have you seen on a Ford, or any car for that matter ?

well, ive been holding out on you guys.
this is my rice, i call it whole grain rice as its a little rough.
till today it had a TOTAL PERFORMANCE sticker on the hatch and a KAKIMOTO RACING sticker above the drivers door handle. (it came like that - i swear!).
it also has some big shiney F/O muffler that makes it sound like 'Too Rice-Too Riso'.
i almost forgot. it has an 'Ultra Rice' LED flashing gearstick knob too!
anyway, i bought it for $250 and it only needs about another $250 spent on it for it to be RWC.
it also has an alarm and remote start which is kinda cool.
it will be my work car since its a 60km round trip every day.
future mods: $50 roll on paint job - if i can be bothered lol.

Haha!!! Absolute freaking classic. I know who owns that car, my brother in law works with him. I'll be sure they see this thread. From what I've heard the wheels are now on an XF and the coupe has come off the road for a full rebuild.
