Customized cars for the rich and famous are nothing new, but recent years have seen a stomach-churning rush of poor taste, superficial flash, and regrettable paint selections. These are Jalopnik's reader choices for the ten worst modified celebrity cars.

Before the gripes start: No, no insanely donked/neon'd/candy-painted/Lambo-doored rapper rides. Ludicrous (Ludacris?) excess has been a part of hip-hop culture since it first moved out of DJ Kool Herc's Bronx rec room. Splice that in with the gaudy impeccably-crafted glory of the lowrider scene and you've got a whole 'nother thing going on that merits a certain respect, even if it's a bit hard to take in sometimes.

Welcome back to Answers of the Day — our daily Jalopnik feature where we take the best ten responses from the previous day's Question of the Day and shine it up to show off. It's by you and for you, the Jalopnik readers. Enjoy!
