What does it take to transform a beautiful piece of intricately designed machinery into a pile of trashy and tacky dog poop? Well, that’s easy, just hire a tuner that has no idea what they are doing and let them put their stamp on your ride. The idea of this may seem absolutely ridiculous to some, but someone apparently thought it was a novel idea when they handed over their Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder to tuning firm, Job Design. The sad part is that we really liked the tuning kit Job Design provided for the 2010 Lexus LS460.
The Lamborghini was painted in blue with black stripes and racing graphics, and that’s the only good part to the design. The aerodynamic package is where it gets a little, we’ll say tricky. There’s a new front bumper and a huge rear wing that simply don’t fit the car’s general look, not to mention the new blue wheels with orange margins and LED light insertions. The model standing next to it it barely smiling so she must know how bad this looks.
We don’t know in which country - or which planet for the matter - something like this actually looks good, but it just looks hideous to us! Are we wrong? Tell us what you think in the comments section below.

PRIOR design presented their latest wide-body kit, the PD-SERIES based on the Mercedes-Benz SL R230. The Prior Design Mercedes-Benz SL R230 comes with a front spoiler with large, greedy air inlets. The cowl with its many air inlets reaches up to the windshield supplying even high-performance motors with sufficient air.
2010 Mercedes-Benz Sports Cars SL R230 PD Series by Prior DesignFor the rear side, the large track of the PD-SERIES is connected by a perfectly rounded rear bumper from one wheel arch to the other, which in turn is equipped with a diffuser based on racing technology. It is available either as sight carbon or full carbon.
The front of the Zenvo ST1 is designed around the hexagonal trademark Zenvo grille flanked by the large front air intakes used for brakes and engine cooling. The intakes are raked back to minimize drag and at the same time making the side impression of the car more compact.The theme of the front is repeated in the rear which is designed around the big diffuser necessary for high speed stability. As on the front the center volume is flanked by large air exits extracting hot engine air as well as housing the exhaust and rear lights.
The rear spoiler mandatory for a car capable of extreme high speeds is partly integrated in the rear wing. It has a unique aerodynamic design following the raked shape of the rear end.
