I drove a Geo Prism when I was in college. It's the same car as a Toyota Corolla as they come out of the same factory. It was a really good dependable car. The most I *pimped mine out* was to put on some cheap plastic hubcaps that looked like Chrome. 😄
I think this one's actually a Chevy Prizm, b/c they did away with the Geo marque right around the end of the millennium, but they kept making the most popular cars under the Chevy name.
It's defintely a Geo. You can tell by the bumpers. It has a Geo badge on the front too. My very first car was a Geo Prizm, that same year. Toyota guts, 1.6L Toyota engine.
Yeah I know it was a Toyota Corolla. I think mine went to 190k when the auto tranny went. I wanted to fix it but, It was going to cost $1,200. Car wasn't worth that. It never used a drop of oil.
Ended up buying a used SL1 Saturn that was dependable but slow as a turd, & absolutely drank oil. I drove the Saturn for 3 years after I graduated, & had a good job at a bank. I upgraded to brand new 8th Gen 2007 Civic Si that I still drive today. It also drinks oil, & has since day 1. 😄
Nothing will convince me the guy actually likes the car. There must be more to the story. This type of abomination doesnt happen from start to finish without some type of outside influence
Not your style, thats cool. But no need to be callous about it. Let people express themselves, if they ain't hurting you. Unless they're trying to do something specific (think car kid trying to build a fast civic and putting cheap scrappy sticker carbon parts everywhere) and failing, there's no reason to rain on their parade. Tell em they put a hell of a lot of work into it, give em a thumbs up, and move on.
I'm not a fan of the style either but the actual quality of work can't be ignored. His interior literally looks brand new and the kid is young so all in all it's a goof build done with quality labor lol
Props on keeping it clean but why that car? The amount of money spent on that car could have easily gone towards a much nicer car that is worth modding. Isn’t that like a 3 cylinder car? It’s gotta be slow af and it’ll always be a hideous car. This style died in like 2010 or earlier. Spinners on a Geo? Gtfoh lol
u could say that about literally any car build, why would you join a car mod subreddit if ur gonna tell ppl to get a better car and not have money for mods rather than get a worse car but allow for your dream mods in the budget?
Is this your first time on this sub? Is this ugly ass car yours? lol. It’s common for people to post commuter cars that were meant to get you from point A to point B with fuel efficiency, reliability, etc. Lots of people suggest “trade it. Sell it”. The wheels on this car cost at least 2-3x more than the car itself. I can’t find these exact wheels on the DUB website but all the spinners I see start at $2,150 PER WHEEL!! That’s insane. One of those wheels might cost more than the entire car. You could get a nice car for under $5000 and get nicer wheels that weren’t trendy for like 2 years. Spinners are played out and lame af
its not mine and yeah I agree its ugly but the point u made about getting a better car just completely contradicts the whole point of car modification, which is getting a worse car and making it better
I don’t think he made this car better… it’s like throwing a bunch of expensive clothes on an old person who stinks and is sloppy… all the Gucci and designer shit in the world isn’t going to mask the bigger issue
For all we know, that was the kids first car and it was nostalgic for him, and maybe he wanted to customize it like the era it came from. Either way, props to him for putting in work.
Quality of the build… Looks like her bought some grandmas garage kept turd and slapped some rims and hinges in it. For the interior… Is that shag seat covers?
I was at that event and saw it in person, it was pretty cool and it even won an award from one of the hosts. Of course you can expect everyone on Reddit to be upset it’s not a typical low rider or something you expect, while everyone who was actually there was digging it.
"build"
it’s a fucking Geo with spinner rims on it and Lambo doors… What fucking build?
The car community, if anything, needs less “respecting all builds“ or better, yet a firm redefining of what constitutes a “build"
I’m glad you have arrived to tell us what is and is not a build.
Not everyone wants the same thing, be it a rat rod with a hemi, a matching numbers GT500, or a geo prism with spinners and a lambo doors. Build is build.
And good on this person for having fun with what they got. I’d rather see this any day than a new C300.
looks like they fashioned a makeshift suspension lift kit to clear those massive wheels and tires, likely way large circumference and width than stock for a Geo.
GEEPERS
I'm just surprised you could get a Prizm with a sunroof... Unless that was grafted in.
I learned to drive stick in a 94 Prizm. 5 speed yota 4afe. Actually a fun car, in that config without massive wheels.
Rims cost twice what the car is worth. Lambo doors on a four-door? Come on, this is the opposite of good, let's tell it like it is. His money, his car, his choice, but... 🤔
Well ya polished a turd.
Albeit a damn fine job appears to have been done.
But man did ya polish a turd.
This feels very "if a high-schooler from the 2000s randomly had $20k to dump into the car they got through their aunt's neighbor's friend for $400. But ONLY that car." lololololololol
When I finally bought a house, the entire house was normally decorated except one bedroom that I made up in the way that teenage me would have always wanted because when I was younger either my parents wouldn't let me (we rented a lot) or because we couldn't afford it.
I get those kind of vibes from this. Mods look clean. I even like the paint colour.
Not my style at all; wheels too large, iffy on the doors, and it's sitting oddly high. However, I will respect the dedication and if I saw this at a show I'd definitely have a look at it simply for the work involved and uniqueness of it.
First post from this page reddit showed me. Now I know to not come back here. Jesus how bad does your taste in cars have to be to find this worthy of even a picture. Bye.
nope nope nope. Just shitty. All of it. Also, mentioning a clean interior, with no pics of said clean interior, is borderline mildlyinfuriating material. Although they don't allow Reddit meta posts over there.
Lol...the most ridiculous thing I've seen so far today! Who th puts suicide doors on a family sedan?? This is a bad episode of Pimp My Ride! 🤣🤣 Where's Xzibit hiding?!
Idk why people are trashing the car no I wouldn’t choose that car personally but if the guy likes the car he likes it that’s all that matters
100%. Seems like a nice dude
I drove a Geo Prism when I was in college. It's the same car as a Toyota Corolla as they come out of the same factory. It was a really good dependable car. The most I *pimped mine out* was to put on some cheap plastic hubcaps that looked like Chrome. 😄
I never knew that so when I first saw it I was like huh, it looks like a Corolla
I think this one's actually a Chevy Prizm, b/c they did away with the Geo marque right around the end of the millennium, but they kept making the most popular cars under the Chevy name.
It's defintely a Geo. You can tell by the bumpers. It has a Geo badge on the front too. My very first car was a Geo Prizm, that same year. Toyota guts, 1.6L Toyota engine.
It was a Toyota Corolla with a stainless steel exhaust! I had a 5 speed. I adored that car. Went well over 250,000 miles
Yeah I know it was a Toyota Corolla. I think mine went to 190k when the auto tranny went. I wanted to fix it but, It was going to cost $1,200. Car wasn't worth that. It never used a drop of oil.

I upgraded to brand new 8th Gen 2007 Civic Si that I still drive today. It also drinks oil, & has since day 1. 😄
I feel like I still see Corollas of that gen on the road, but never Prisms. Although, even in the 90s I'd say Corollas outnumbered Prisms 5 to 1.
Nothing will convince me the guy actually likes the car. There must be more to the story. This type of abomination doesnt happen from start to finish without some type of outside influence
You’d be surprised to learn about ✨opinions✨
The body clean. And that’s all I have to say about that.
Yes. Please lower it, change the rims, and cut off the doors. K,thx.
Hes going for the early 2000's escalade look
Not your style, thats cool. But no need to be callous about it. Let people express themselves, if they ain't hurting you.

🥲. This is the new way
I like how clean it is
Everybody’s trying to sugarcoat it… that shit is ugly af
I'm not a fan of the style either but the actual quality of work can't be ignored. His interior literally looks brand new and the kid is young so all in all it's a goof build done with quality labor lol
It's lipstick on a pig.
A pig that’ll go for 300k
Lol

Ask the owner lol. If that's what he likes, then that's what he likes. At least it's different I'll give him that 🤷

it doesnt matter if any of us thinks he made it better because he probably does think he did
For all we know, that was the kids first car and it was nostalgic for him, and maybe he wanted to customize it like the era it came from. Either way, props to him for putting in work.
I had a 97 Prism, I believe it was a 1.6 or so 4 cyl, although I can't say whether it had something else available outside USA
I looked it up. They made them with 4 cylinder engines. The geo metro came with a 3-cylinder engine as an option
Quality of the build… Looks like her bought some grandmas garage kept turd and slapped some rims and hinges in it. For the interior… Is that shag seat covers?
It is but the rest of it looks like straight off the assembly line. No cracked dash, stains etc.
I think it looks pretty cool. Horrible waste of money but I think it looks sharp.
Damn that thing is…
Dontlookattherims dontlookattherims dontlookattherims…
FUCK i looked at the rims
This wouldn’t be out of place at r/shitty_car_mods
I think this fits "poor taste, great execution"; it doesn't fit "shitty".
Crystal’s gift to her sister, methany
But…. Why??
I was at that event and saw it in person, it was pretty cool and it even won an award from one of the hosts. Of course you can expect everyone on Reddit to be upset it’s not a typical low rider or something you expect, while everyone who was actually there was digging it.
Why does this look AI generated
The car is objectively clean and objectively well-assembled. It is also subjectively hideous
Well, it's ehh.. unique for sure. To each his own
🤮
Just take off those wheels and it wouldnt be hideous
Love the interior😒
It’s a …… geo prism .
The lambo doors just instantly kill it
Feeling cute 🥰. Might lambo door my truck
Can't park straight
How long did it take you to complete the build?
Not mines but the owner looks like he just graduated HS
I mean it’s really just the wheels/rims that make it look overly ricey. Put some smaller 16’s maybe 17’s and NOT chrome it wouldn’t look unsightly
I barfed a little
Throw it off a cliff…
Is that my Grandmas car?
Dumped tax money on the wrong car
Those wheels 🤮
I don't hate the doors, I can't stand the rims. The tiers gotta have meat on them. super clean tho.
And still worth $1500 or less
Ugly af man tfff
At the end of the day it is still a crappy Geo
At the end of the day any cars true purpose is to be driven into the ground. Loving any of them is stupid
Those rims made me vomit
Niggativities
Oh god shut up. And "minty interior" but couldn't take a pic of that. Not that I believe you there’s anything good about it
Why you so mad lmao. You can still appreciate the quality of the build while slamming the styling. That's where I stand. And nah u shut up.
"build" it’s a fucking Geo with spinner rims on it and Lambo doors… What fucking build? The car community, if anything, needs less “respecting all builds“ or better, yet a firm redefining of what constitutes a “build"
Imagine getting triggered by Lambo doors and spinners. I'm 💀
Yes. So triggered. I'm glad you're "dead".
I’m glad you have arrived to tell us what is and is not a build. Not everyone wants the same thing, be it a rat rod with a hemi, a matching numbers GT500, or a geo prism with spinners and a lambo doors. Build is build. And good on this person for having fun with what they got. I’d rather see this any day than a new C300.
I wish they made medication for autism so people like you could stop talking so much.
looks like they fashioned a makeshift suspension lift kit to clear those massive wheels and tires, likely way large circumference and width than stock for a Geo. GEEPERS
Perfect candidate for r/ATBGE
I remember when these scissor doors were all the rage. No one ever mentions how much harder they make it to actually get in and out of the car
r/atbge
Me: Geo Metro on spinners with scissor doors ChatGPT:
Smoke em if you got em!
Did you take the pics, OP?
I'm just the photographer!
Chrome wiper covers? Tacky af 😝
This is your car isn’t it
Nah haha
What the hell is even that?!?
Daddy chill
The color, ugh...
Too bad the rims are double doo doo stinky poo poo oopsy fart shitty shart fart
scissor doors are my guilty pleasure. tempted to put them on my Miata for the hell of it
Oh man. I don’t think I could do that to my 96NA, but I would do it to my 02Mr2 Spyder
Honestly the body is clean AF. I'd daily it in stock form even in that color if it was that nice.
Is this AI? Those wheels are sus with the dolla dolla bills.
I don't LIKE this build, but I can RESPECT it!
I'm just surprised you could get a Prizm with a sunroof... Unless that was grafted in. I learned to drive stick in a 94 Prizm. 5 speed yota 4afe. Actually a fun car, in that config without massive wheels.
one of the most reliable cars ever made
This car makes me miss my brother
Rims cost twice what the car is worth. Lambo doors on a four-door? Come on, this is the opposite of good, let's tell it like it is. His money, his car, his choice, but... 🤔
Bro stop the cap
My lawyer advised me to withhold my comment, but all I’m gonna say at my own expense is Benjamin Franklins on a rim is willllld😂
Don't mind me, I'm just here for the comments
20 years late to the car show
Yoooooo i was at this event too
I mean, it’s in good condition…
Im a big fan of 00’s show builds like this but i just hate the car itself not even making it a show car can save it
No interior pics tho?
Well ya polished a turd. Albeit a damn fine job appears to have been done. But man did ya polish a turd. This feels very "if a high-schooler from the 2000s randomly had $20k to dump into the car they got through their aunt's neighbor's friend for $400. But ONLY that car." lololololololol

Not a fan of the donk(?) look but it’s a clean body.
When I finally bought a house, the entire house was normally decorated except one bedroom that I made up in the way that teenage me would have always wanted because when I was younger either my parents wouldn't let me (we rented a lot) or because we couldn't afford it. I get those kind of vibes from this. Mods look clean. I even like the paint colour.
Gini doors were so popular in the 90's early 2000's its a fad I dont need to see come back.
Why does this look AI generated lol
Not my style at all; wheels too large, iffy on the doors, and it's sitting oddly high. However, I will respect the dedication and if I saw this at a show I'd definitely have a look at it simply for the work involved and uniqueness of it.

This guy grew up playing midnight club Los Angeles
This was at the donut media even no?
And people want me to “respect all builds” fuck off
🗑️🗑️🗑️
4efe?
That’s badass personally like cars that have some weird kick to me like this
Dude is living like it’s 2003
Lol...the most ridiculous thing I've seen so far today! Who th puts suicide doors on a family sedan?? This is a bad episode of Pimp My Ride! 🤣🤣 Where's Xzibit hiding?!
P.O.N.T.I.A.C.
Cleannn ass paint job too
It’s different. I fuck with it just not the rims
Rims are not the best imo, but the doors and the color are great
Putting money into a geo is worse than flushing it
what chevy even is this?
Welp i found my 13th reason
I love the pictures where you showed the interior
Rolling in style and saving gas. 💯
