If you thought your neighbor's stanced Subaru was obnoxious, prepare to have your mind blown.
10.) Diamond Wheels
You know what's ostentatious? Putting giant wheels on your car. You know what's more ostentatious than that? Putting giant wheels that have diamonds in them on your car. Send your letters of appreciation to Asanti for this one, or fork over $1 million to buy a set.

9.) Straight Pipes
If you want to make the entire world despise you and your car, all you need to do is give yourself some buzzing, loud straight pipes. Works every time.

8.) Lift Kits On Clean Trucks
Lift kits on proper prerunners and offroad trucks are great. Lift kits on Silverados that never see a fleck of dirt in their lives are not.

7.) TVs In The Trunk
This might not seem that ostentatious at first, so I'll let BigHarv explain.
Don't get me wrong, I don't thing it's necessarily a wrong thing to do, but by filling your trunk with a TV and speakers, you are saying "I will destroy the utility of my vehicle in order to impressive people with my car while it is sitting still in a parking lot", and it doesn't really get more ostentatious than that. You have turned your car into something best appreciated while not moving-touche.

6.) Wings
Any kind of humongous wing on a little car is obnoxious, but no Honda Civic can touch the Smart ForJeremy, which has, like, actual wings.

5.) Chrome Wraps
Bieber got one. Case closed.

4.) Bedazzling An Entire Car
Nobody does over-the-top quite like the Japanese, who had a brief fad for bedazzling entire cars in Swarovsky crystals a few years back.

3.) Turning Your Car Into A Swan
Modifying a car to look like a swan is so ostentatious that it's actually kind of amazing. This particular 'Swan car' was built by an eccentric British imperialist in India back in 1909-1910. It exhales steam out of the front and it craps whitewash out the back. Seriously.

2.) Whale Penis Leather
Estonian armored car builder Dartz offered this option briefly, before Pamela Anderson campaigned to have it taken out of production. Then Dartz made a commemorative "Penisguard" car in honor of Pam's efforts. You can't make this stuff up.

1.) Encrusting Your Car In Rubies
Basically, this entire car is about as ostentatious as a motor vehicle can be. It's called the "Red Gold Dream" and was built with a budget of around $4.3 million. There are 500 rubies studding the car. There's gold leather in the interior. There's what appears to be actual gold plate in the interior, headlights, and wheels. There's also a bodykit, which is a big no-no on a supercar.
It's all the work of one absolutely bonkers Swiss man, Ueli Anlicker. Read more about him right here.
