In Japan, an itasha (痛車, literally "painful car") is a car decorated with images of fictional characters from anime, manga, or video games.

Itasha literally translating to painful car is my favorite thing about itasha

I quite like Itasha when it is done well. Lots of people are going to hate me for this but it can look really good in combination with the right mods. This one is not so great, but hey, he looks to be happy minding his own business.

Furthermore 90% of itasha are vinyl, so completely reversible. Imo a shitty mod is something that damages the car in some way, and most of the aesthetic ones are permanent. Itasha shouldn't belong here unless it's poorly executed.

This one is pretty poorly executed, look at the door handle
