Remember the Mercedes-Maybach G 650 Landaulet, dubbed by the creators as "a masterpiece and surely the most exclusive form of stylish open-top motoring?" Well, if anyone said that level of craziness is hard to achieve, they surely didn't see this modified Rolls-Royce Cullinan 'Vert!
By the way, although the term refers to a colloquial way of saying 'convertible,' that's not the case here anymore, as there is no canvas to hide from bad weather anywhere in sight. And believe us; we searched – along with Forgiato Designs' entire fanbase. Anyway, let us start everything from the beginning.

So, unless you have been living under a Mars rock these past few years, we are pretty sure one might have noticed the stratospheric rise of ultra-luxury SUVs like the Aston Martin DBX, BMW XM, Bentley Bentayga, Lamborghini Urus S and Performante, Ferrari Purosangue, and Rolls-Royce Cullinan Black Badge, among others. If not, let us give you the rundown: they're humongous, outrageous, tremendous gas guzzlers, and everyone loves them.

The latter part is due especially to their potential for crazy customization and personalization build projects, for sure, as the aftermarket realm has embraced most of them with wide open arms. And there is no need to take our word for granted, as we have a pretty eloquent example to share. Meet the Los Angeles, California-based forged wheel experts over at Forgiato Designs, who know how to stir a pot of outrageousness with just a hint of their aftermarket greatness – in this case, a nice set of humongous wire-style forged wheels that usually make the Rolls-Royce Cullinan look like a classic chariot, especially when matched to the body hue like in this particular case.

However, it's hard to focus on the massive Forgis when the entire project done by Sewell, New Jersey-based CarEffex is absolutely bonkers or ridiculous – depending on your POV. By the way, the company specializes in automotive, aircraft, and boat modifications – and it shows! Alas, they didn't do it just for the bragging rights but rather as a one-of-one commission from rapper Lil Uzi Vert. Known as Symere Bysil Woods outside his professional life as a singer and songwriter, born and raised in neighboring Philadelphia, he asked the customization outlet for a Cullinan Black Badge unlike any other.

And they certainly delivered – not (just) because of the high-riser attitude, the incredible audio system tucked in the back of the vehicle to make the musician proud, or the fact that the Spirit of Ecstasy statue was dressed from head to toe and wings in what look like Swarowskys! Not even the 'Plum Crazy' accents will make everyone raise an eyebrow or the fact that from certain angles, this build looks like a toy or a rendering – but rather because we are dealing with a chopped, roofless Rolls-Royce Cullinan Black Badge 'Vert! Or should we say white-and-tan 'Landaulet' and be done with it?
