Ok, here are some ideas...

Drag a sparking chain.

Let some other object look like it will fall of the car.  Like a oil
drilling pipe bumper.

Glue a half filled coke bottle to the bumper.

Stick a 12 foot 2x4 out the trunk with one of those red rags on the end.
(Let the trunk lid bounce up and down on the 2x4.)

Inject some oil into the exhaust after the cat conv.

Put some foul smelling fluid in a washer bottle pump and spray it out the
back.  (Wash your windshield at the same time so he won't think you're
rigged.)

NRA stickers and a gun rack.

Throw an 'iron bar hotel' jumpsuit on the rear deck.

Speed up slow down without the brake lights.  Install a brake light switch
to really catch him of guard.

Carry a bucket of soft plastic beads.  Pour them through the rust hole in
the floor board.

Toss a box worth of slimy bugs out the sun roof.

Put a couple of red/blue baseball hats on the rear deck.  Add a spotlight on
the front A pillar.  (OK...ok this ones to subtle for the brain dead herd
pack driver.)

Drive one of those SUVs that he can't see through.  (This one is ruthless
but I'm running out of nice ideas.)

Weave into the dirty gravelly side of the road at 100mph.

Remote control hubcap release.

For night instead of auto dimming rearview mirror, install the auto homing
mirror that aims their headlights back in their face.


...of course don't try these at home kids.  For professional use only.
