The ranking

The twelve best projects

Ranked on how far the build travels from the factory car. A wrap is a costume, a re body is a rebuild. Depth of work first, then originality of idea, then execution.

1970 Dodge Charger “Hellraiser”

CarbonKevin Hart · SpeedKore Performance, Grafton WI

The entire body was re made in carbon fiber over a custom chassis, wrapped around a 1,000 hp 426 Hemi crate motor and a ZF 8HP90 eight speed. Nothing on this car is a 1970 Dodge part in the way a restoration means it.

Why it is here The only build here where the panels themselves were manufactured from scratch. Everything else is finish work on a factory shell.

Owner: Kevin Hart
Treatment: Carbon

Rolls-Royce Cullinan “Vert Edition”

ChoppedLil Uzi Vert · Car Effex, Sewell NJ

The roof and the entire rear section were cut off a Cullinan permanently. White wheels, a half white and purple grille, purple badge lettering, brown leather retrim, Domo embroidered headrests, a speaker box behind the rear seats and an iced out Spirit of Ecstasy. Reported north of $700,000.

Why it is here Irreversible structural surgery on a $400k SUV. That is a level of commitment almost nobody in this file matches.

Owner: Lil Uzi Vert
Treatment: Chopped

Lamborghini Gallardo, extended 12 inches

StretchedShaquille O'Neal · Shop uncredited

Wheelbase, doors, roofline, side glass and interior all lengthened a full foot, the roof raised, the seat rails re engineered and the wiring harness stretched to suit. Roughly $600,000 of work so a 7ft 1in man could actually drive a Gallardo.

Why it is here Every other build on this list is about looks. This one solved a physical problem, and had to re engineer a monocoque supercar to do it.

Owner: Shaquille O'Neal
Treatment: Stretched

Lamborghini Urus “Cactus Jack”

WidebodyTravis Scott · West Coast Customs × Mansory

A full Mansory carbon fiber widebody kit, reportedly the first delivered into California, laid over Mocha Brown paint, white wheels, and Cactus Jack branding on the brake calipers and center caps. About $665,000 in modifications on a $221,500 car.

Why it is here The template for the modern celebrity build: German carbon, an American shop, and the owner's label stamped on the hardware.

Owner: Travis Scott
Treatment: Widebody

1969 Plymouth Road Runner “Michael Myers”

AwardedKevin Hart · Salvaggio Design, Port Washington WI

940 hp supercharged 426 Hemi, a custom chassis with an integrated roll cage, and a full Detroit Speed suspension. Took Goodguys 2022 Griot's Garage Muscle Machine of the Year.

Why it is here The only build in this file that won a national judged award. Celebrity money, but the car earned it in a field of pure builders.

Owner: Kevin Hart
Treatment: Awarded

Rolls-Royce Cullinan, Browns orange

SculptedOdell Beckham Jr. · Dreamworks Motorsports, Roxboro NC

Cleveland orange wrap, blacked out 26 inch Forgiatos with floating center caps, ultra dark Suntek tint, gloss black accents, a JL Audio subwoofer boombox in the trunk and a bespoke starlight headliner. Then the part everyone remembers: the Spirit of Ecstasy replaced with a motorized figurine of Beckham making his 2014 one handed catch.

Why it is here Replacing the most protected hood ornament in the industry with a sculpture of yourself is the single boldest idea on this page.

Owner: Odell Beckham Jr.
Treatment: Sculpted

1970 Oldsmobile, 24 karat gold plated

GoldCam Newton · Charlotte NC

Not gold paint and not a gold wrap. Actual 24k gold plating on the trim and brightwork of a 1970 Olds, over a dark body. Rolled out in 2016 and immediately became the most photographed car in the Panthers parking lot.

Why it is here Plating is a chemical process, not a finish you can peel off. Almost nobody commits to it at this scale.

Owner: Cam Newton
Treatment: Gold

The Big Slice Cadillacs

MuralsSnoop Dogg · Big Slice, Los Angeles

Brown Sugar, a 1967 DeVille in metallic brown on chrome and gold wires with a chandelier hanging in the back. Sticky Icky, a 1974 Coupe DeVille in metallic green on hydraulics with a painted trunk mural. Plus a 1968 Cougar and a 1966 Parisienne in Lakers yellow, the Parisienne later gifted to Kobe Bryant.

Why it is here A coherent body of work by one builder over decades, in a tradition, West Coast lowrider, with real rules. Not a one off flex.

Owner: Snoop Dogg
Treatment: Murals

Bugatti Veyron, “Cowboy Bebop”

AirbrushLil Uzi Vert · Car Effex, Sewell NJ

A $1.7M Veyron, previously Floyd Mayweather's, with Spike Spiegel painted across the hood, composed to echo The Weeknd's Starboy cover. Bought for Uzi's 25th birthday.

Why it is here Putting anime art on a Veyron is the most expensive canvas decision anyone in this file has made.

Owner: Lil Uzi Vert
Treatment: Airbrush
Shop credited: Car Effex, Sewell NJ

Mercedes-Maybach S680, “LJ”

DebadgedLeBron James · Mercedes MANUFAKTUR

A one off through Mercedes MANUFAKTUR program: soft cream over a deep blue interior with bespoke stitching, 621 hp V12, and James's own LJ monogram in place of the Maybach badge. A second James configured car was set aside for charity auction.

Why it is here Maybach does not let its badge come off. Getting the factory itself to replace it with your initials is a different kind of custom than any shop can sell you.

Owner: LeBron James
Treatment: Debadged

Lamborghini Gallardo “El Toro”

FlipChris Brown · West Coast Customs, Burbank CA

A full WCC remodel, body modification plus paint, built out on camera for a Fox Sports season. The car that pushed Brown from owns Lamborghinis to treats Lamborghinis as canvas, a run that later included a Goku hood, Tupac lyrics in the clear, a Nike inspired camo Aventador and a color flip chrome Huracán.

Why it is here No celebrity has commissioned more visually reckless paint over a longer stretch. This is where the streak starts.

Owner: Chris Brown
Treatment: Flip

2012 Fisker Karma, full chrome

ChromeJustin Bieber · West Coast Customs, Burbank CA

An 18th birthday Fisker wrapped end to end in mirror chrome. Widely reported as a road hazard, widely copied anyway, and the reason a chrome wrap read as a celebrity signature for most of the decade that followed.

Why it is here Least labor on the list by a distance. It is ranked for influence: one wrap that set the visual language of celebrity car culture for ten years.

Owner: Justin Bieber
Treatment: Chrome
