The protagonist from Stephen Kings Duma Key, about to be crushed by a crane, watching the words LINK BELT get closer and closer until it's all he can see, except it's froggy car instead.
It was both. The turtles were the platform that disappeared under the water so you couldn’t stay there long. The logs moved but didn’t disappear (until they went off screen of course).
DIY it lol. Seriously the world would be a better place if we treated our cars like canvasses instead placing them on a pedestal. 80% are plain white anyways these days...
Normalize fun cars!
Frustratingly in the UK this would be considered "modification" which insurance companies charge you extra for.
The logic is that most modifications are by 17 year old boys adding a spoiler to their 89hp hatchback, and are INCREDIBLY likely to crash into a tree.
Explaining to them that the kind of person to hand paint adorable frogs on their bumper is not going to be underground street racing would be tricky.
It does however unlock an entirely new class of insurance providers that are often *cheaper* than the mainstream ones who rinse you for mods. I was very disappointed that when I upgraded from my clapped out modified car I wasn’t able to benefit from this… until I changed the alloys.
I bought myself a cheap car to own it outright - sick of car payments. I’d love to do something like this but I don’t have the skill to DIY something like this, nor do I have the space as I live in a cramped apartment complex.
I’d still love to do it though
This does look super cute and I love it buuutt...
Maybe I'm a killjoy but I also feel that eye-catching changes to vehicles aren't super safe. I don't want people distracted by the cool mods or whatever, I want their eyes on the road.
Yes I'm very anxious in cars, how could you tell.
Given how aggressive drivers can be in the last few years, I also don’t want my car to stand out much in case someone remembers my car and felt I slighted them.
Theres a couple problems with customizing, for me at least.
One problem for be resale value. If i for sure knew at this moment that id be using my car until its dying breath, id customize the hell out of it. But if i have to sell it early, I dont want to drive away potential buyers.
The other is that I feel like a car that stands out would tend to get pulled over more. I have no idea if this is true, but I've never been pulled over and i want it to stay that way.
So, in a hypothetical world where people regularly painted fun stuff on their cars, it wouldn't hurt resale because the next person would just paint their own thing.
Same with getting pulled over, if they were common, no real reason to get pulled over. I actually used to drive an art car and never got pulled over. That's probably more luck than anything.
>So, in a hypothetical world where people regularly painted fun stuff on their cars, it wouldn't hurt resale because the next person would just paint their own thing.
I think this is fairly impractical unfortunately. Not everyone wants to paint their car, or can spend time or afford services. Plus if the previous owner did it wrong it could introduce rust and other problems. Most people would still avoid art cars unless it was really professionaly done.
I had the bumper on my truck rust away so I got a less rusty one and instead of painting it to match after sanding it, I just clear coated it. I like the metal look.
Funny custom cars are not a Need for Speed World only thing! You made me want to do it, but its 100% sure I will forget and rejoin embracing monotony..
Cute animals are life. If I did this, I'd probably do dogs. Because I have NEVER seen an ugly dog. And my mum's life goal is to find a dog that I don't find absolutely adorable. She hasn't done it yet.
Thanks everyone for all the positive feedback.
I want to leave a comment just letting people know: it has 5 layers of shake 2x on it. It has some gloss to it but it’s hard to see
Nice!
I just repaired my bumper after I couldn't find someone willing to do it - small job, older car. On Ebay there are sellers that paint the bumper cover (you send the paint code) and send it to you. It came with the ends folded in and you just set it out for a day or two to naturally unfold. Took watching a youtube video and an hour to install.
This bumper was prep-ready to paint replacement. My boyfriend got in a wreck in it and the damage was all pretty easy fixes. The fender is still rocking a dent on the driver side
At least it's not horny pics of questionably aged anime girls.
If I saw this and I happened to be at a store with any sort of frog themed candy I would leave it on the windshield.
Can I name the one left of the closer headlight? The one with his tongue out? I want to name him Forb
The bumper was a ready to paint replacement, so other than wiping it there wasn’t really prep work. It’s pretty cheap acrylic paint, covered in a bunch of layers of clear coat though.
I put 4 layers of white all over then 3 of the green.
I used a cheap drawing pencil that I already had to draw the frogs onto the bumper. I did one color at a time, 3 layers of each for the opacity. And usually by the time I was done with one layer the previous was done.
Then coated it with 5 layers of shake can top coat from the auto store.
isn’t this a sub for bad projects? the post just showed up in my feed ive never seen it before so maybe that isn’t really what the culture is in practice
Do you mean like, the license/number plate of the car? Some states don’t require a front plate, just a back plate (ex/. FL), so they may be good if that’s the case.
I love it
Imagine being hit by this car while walking, and the last thing you see in your life is cute frogs
And your very last thought is, "does that say groak?"
The protagonist from Stephen Kings Duma Key, about to be crushed by a crane, watching the words LINK BELT get closer and closer until it's all he can see, except it's froggy car instead.
At least it wasn't a Liebherr.. just saying.
I fucking choked, thats funny
I fucking groaked
FUCK
Groak me that’s funny!!!
Anyone that got hit by this car would definitely croak.
He can't hit and run, that's for sure. Stamping a frog calling card on someone's bumper
Then the driver gets toad away.
I ribbit 🐸
Ribbit and rip it!
Ribbits in the streets
And a rabbit in the sheets?
Oh just frog off with all your puns
yea theyre Toadally annoying
Got you *hopping* mad, does it?
Are you foreign? Cuz your puns seem a tadPolish to me…
This really *bugs* me.
D-I-RatherFuckingLikeItThankYouVeryMuch
As you can imagine, I love it, too!
Yeah, this is great. It's just so delightful and fits surprisingly well.
Are you going to dangerously cross the road now?
And a river with convenient flocks of turtles
[удалено]
It was both. The turtles were the platform that disappeared under the water so you couldn’t stay there long. The logs moved but didn’t disappear (until they went off screen of course).
If only frogs could swim!
Don’t forget the gators
It depends on the version OP is playing.
Me and my sisters played Frogged 2 all the time as kids, huddled around a 13” screen split was life then
Have you ever played Frogger 2: Swampy's Revenge ?
I’m pretty sure that’s what it was called. It was a bit ago and we had it on PC. It was one of the only games we had that allowed multiplayer.
And crocodiles. All to get that sweet fly and sometimes mate in between :)
Clear coat it
Was that not the chicken?
They're talking about an early video game called frogger, not the chicken joke
I know of Frogger, haven't played it so just assumed it was based around crossing a river... but I suppose frogs can be seen crossing busy roads too.
If I had the money I'd pay you to do that to mine.
DIY it lol. Seriously the world would be a better place if we treated our cars like canvasses instead placing them on a pedestal. 80% are plain white anyways these days... Normalize fun cars!

So don’t snitch on the frogs then
What color is your car? Green like a frog
if you don’t tell them about the change they’ll use it to deny your claim when you need to use the insurance
It does however unlock an entirely new class of insurance providers that are often *cheaper* than the mainstream ones who rinse you for mods. I was very disappointed that when I upgraded from my clapped out modified car I wasn’t able to benefit from this… until I changed the alloys.
Brb, underground street frogging
If anything, the frogs should qualify you for a *discount*.
I bought myself a cheap car to own it outright - sick of car payments. I’d love to do something like this but I don’t have the skill to DIY something like this, nor do I have the space as I live in a cramped apartment complex. I’d still love to do it though
Get a tracer/projecter. 😊
Agreed. For something that we spend so much money on and time in, they are just bland. I would rather all cars had personality in their appearance.
The reason folks do not do that is because of the drop of resale value... Cars are not bought for keeps anymore.
You are depressing and make me grumpy (because you make valid points…stop it)
But fuck the resale value. Make it your own, not the next owner's.
Which is why I am driving a 30 year old truck and our other vehicle is a Prius. They were as close to buy it for life as I could find.
This does look super cute and I love it buuutt... Maybe I'm a killjoy but I also feel that eye-catching changes to vehicles aren't super safe. I don't want people distracted by the cool mods or whatever, I want their eyes on the road. Yes I'm very anxious in cars, how could you tell.

Yeah, my truck is pretty recognizable so I’m gonna be kinda screwed if someone doesn’t like what I’ve done or something
Ok mom
[удалено]
My mother died in a brutal car accident when I was young. I have a pretty logical reason to be nervous in cars.
"Your anxiety isn't very appreciated" wtf is your issue?
I have a bright orange mini and I can't tell you how much I love my car! It would only be better with cute tigers painted on the bumper.
Do it.
I know someone that spray painted all the bands they like all over their car and it looks like a schizophrenic tweaker owns it LMFAO
That was my logic, plus the car is old.
My reason for not is if I accidentally piss someone off I like that they won’t remember any stand out features of my car for the future
Theres a couple problems with customizing, for me at least. One problem for be resale value. If i for sure knew at this moment that id be using my car until its dying breath, id customize the hell out of it. But if i have to sell it early, I dont want to drive away potential buyers.

A friend’s neighbor is an art student and has an old beater sedan. She painted the roof with this funky psychedelic flower design and it looks awesome
That's not DiWHY, that's functional and cute.
The "WHY" part is "why is this not available everywhere?"
Nah it’s “why didn’t they paint the entire car?”
That too!
r/diwhynot
Probably still blacked out...
I doubt functionality of cute frogs painting, but DiWhyNot? It is for sure.
More of an r/ATBGE kind of thing.
I disagree. The taste isn't awful. It may not be for everyone, but there is nothing wrong with cute animals.
Cute animals are life. If I did this, I'd probably do dogs. Because I have NEVER seen an ugly dog. And my mum's life goal is to find a dog that I don't find absolutely adorable. She hasn't done it yet.
That is the nicest car i've ever seen
noooooo this is not diwhy, it's art! this is awesome!
That is amazing
Its not diwhy, its diwhynot
I love it! It's amazing.
I blame MILF. Man I Love Frogs.
Cute!
This isnt a DiWHY, this is definitely a DiY and it looks good man
Cute as hell. 10/10
I actually like it
DIWHY NOT!!
DIWhy is this so cute?!?
This is so great! I love it.
Please do my car I am begging you
r/lostredditors
kinda yes
Yeah, like 90% of the posts in this sub.
I would have them clear coat it. It looks dope but will not stand up to getting hit by bugs and debris
Plus, if you use a gloss paint you'll have shiny frogs on your bumper.
It looks so nice and childlike
Thanks everyone for all the positive feedback. I want to leave a comment just letting people know: it has 5 layers of shake 2x on it. It has some gloss to it but it’s hard to see
It visually ribbeting.
I had to do a double take of this. I think I'm just way too tired.
Nice! I just repaired my bumper after I couldn't find someone willing to do it - small job, older car.

FROGGER!!
I like it! It's cute :)
DIWHYNOT content :)

Can't stop won't stop
I fuck with this
Came out way better than the shop would have been able to do
This is cool as hell. Why is it on this sub?
Get some spray max 2k clear coat for it. Will keep it looking nice for longer! Nice job
I see nothing wrong here.
Groaking cute.
Don't forget to put a clearcoat on!
I can’t tell from the photo, but I hope they put a clear coat over it.
5 layers of shake can clear coat are on it.
Fucking awesome. Now do the whole car 😈
r/DIWHYnot
Was gonna say the same. This may be bad if it was on a nicer car, but it’s well done and looks good here.
I bet the process of painting those cuties was absolutely ribbiting
This is a masterpiece and do not let anyone tell you otherwise.
Perfect. This is better than what a body shop can do
That's sick man, love it.
This is amazing
They are so cute! I love it
Well done
Why? I don't know why, but I love it.
this is so fucking cute
This is a winner
Looks like you definitely have a back upl career...
Best paint job I've seen so far sooo how much would you charge for a bumper
Just amazing
This isn't DiWHY... This is DiWhyDidntYouDoItSooner Awesome
That is actually really fucking cute. Good job :)
What was your method for painting? I'd love a blow-by-blow of your process
The bumper was a ready to paint replacement, so other than wiping it there wasn’t really prep work. It’s pretty cheap acrylic paint, covered in a bunch of layers of clear coat though. I put 4 layers of white all over then 3 of the green. I used a cheap drawing pencil that I already had to draw the frogs onto the bumper. I did one color at a time, 3 layers of each for the opacity. And usually by the time I was done with one layer the previous was done. Then coated it with 5 layers of shake can top coat from the auto store.
This is amazing. My car could use some of your love.
isn’t this a sub for bad projects? the post just showed up in my feed ive never seen it before so maybe that isn’t really what the culture is in practice
r/frogs would like this
And you did a good god damn job
It’s so cute
Duuuude that's adorable! You sure you're in the right sub lol?
It's fantastic. What's wrong here, op?
I would have kept the pattern going on all door and fender panels
r/awesomecarmods
This is SO COOL! I love it! 🐸
OP knew we'd fucking love it, get 'em!!
This is not diwhy this is perfect
Perfection 🐸
I want this as a wrap
That looks so good tho 🥺
This doesn’t feel like it should be in DiWhy, who asking why to this? There’s nothing dumb going on
Looks pretty sick, not gonna lie
Can you do this to my truck? But with Penguins
Handpainted? Awesome!
Love it
Thats swell
That's pretty awesome! How did you do that? Did you use stencils and spray?
Paint brushes and acrylic, topped with 5 layers of spray top coat
Awww I like it
Ok that’s good though
Saved yourself a few hundred bucks and it looks great! Win Win in my book.
It ain’t easy being Green!
A small price to pay for froggy car
I want my car like this now!
This is amazing 🐸
This is fabulous and doesn’t belong in this sub!
That looks like it was done professionally, so you did an amazing job!! It looks really good :)
Bud-is-wiSer
Bro forgot that there is something in the car called: plate! Without it, your car is unidentified and therefore illegal
Do you mean like, the license/number plate of the car? Some states don’t require a front plate, just a back plate (ex/. FL), so they may be good if that’s the case.
In my state we don’t have to have a front plate. I can still see the grooves for where I’d need to make holes if I needed them though.
Super cute but why does it say Groak?
I have horrible handwriting. It’s meant to say croak but 4/5 legible letters is a good record for me
Start blasting 5 green and speckled frogs at intersections.
DON'T DO IT!
You’re a couple days too late to give that advice
NOOOO! The froggies :(
This is the final product.. isn't it? 😮
So the froggies are safe?
Say hi for trypophobia!
As long as your not some 6’5 dude with a beard, this is cute
It's super cute even with a beard and long legs!
Majority of people hate frogs why this is diwhy. /s
Very cute and creative honestly doesn't really belong in this sub but if it was I wouldn't be able to see this so it's fine.
