ELECTRIC UNDERGROUND

Ruined EV Brings Street Style and Show Culture to the Sunshine State

- 

FROM Hawaii to New York, RUINED chapters carry the same DNA-support, style, and a shared love of electric rebellion.

AT a glance, it could be any high-end car meet in South Florida: sun-bleached tarmac, a skyline painted in gold by the setting sun, and silhouettes of slammed cool rides lining up as spectators gather on the beachside. But then three Teslas roll in, one glistening in a Verde Solaris wrap that flips between gold and lime depending on the light, another sporting a Koenigsegg-inspired wing and splitter that could double as GT car aero, and a third wearing a purple widebody kit so aggressive it looks ripped from a video game. Cameras rise. Heads turn. Welcome to the Florida chapter of Ruined EV, a growing force in the national EV aftermarket modification movement, and a club determined to rewrite the rules of car culture—one bagged electric build at a time.

From Hashtag to Headliner

Ruined started humbly as a hashtag in 2019. Back then, a lowered Tesla on bags was still an anomaly. Fast-forward a few years, and Ruined has transformed from an Instagram tag into a nationwide club with industry clout. The turning point came in 2022, when Ruined brought 13 modified Teslas to the SEMA Show, covering every corner of the convention center from wheel displays to EV-centric halls. The EV aftermarket scene had arrived—with a bang.
