Candy
Candy will rot your teeth and your car. We get that this is a southern trend, but that doesn't make it any better. Why would you give out free promotion?
Faces
At least this mistake can be painted over. The people with similarly awful tattoos don't have the same opportunity for a mulligan.
Leather
You don't need to be in PETA to see how ridiculous this is. Where are they at with a bucket of blood?
Flower Power
The 60s were a long time ago. Bumming around in a van between peaceful protests hasn't been cool since.

Chain Link Fence
A chain link and spray paint. That's a shitty paint job double whammy.
Tribal
Nobody that's actually in a tribe does this, so you shouldn't either, unless you wear Ed Hardy shirts and have already accepted the fact that you suck.
Leopard
There's a difference between Leopard and Cheetah print: leopards have the multicolored spots. The similarity? Both look stupid on cars.

Two-Tone That Doesn't Follow the Car's Lines
Two-tone can look great, when done right. When you disregard your car's lines, you're disregarding style altogether.
Velvet
This would only be cool if it were Prince's car and the velvet were purple.
Zebra
Save that shit for the golf karts at the zoo.
Fake Bullet Holes
Nothing is cool about your car getting shot up. Stop fronting like your car is a target.

Gold Chrome
What's funny is that we always see this on expensive cars. It's as if the owner can't just say they're rich, they have to scream it.
Louis Vuitton
As if the status symbol wasn't obnoxious enough on your girl's purse. Who are you, Lavish?
