Guitarist Wes Borland is known for his use of costumes and [[body paint]] during concerts, appearing in bunny and kung fu suits,<ref name=Devenish21/> and painted as a skeleton and what he describes as a "burnt match". Describing the character, he stated, "I go onstage wearing almost nothing. I have underwear and my boots on, and I paint my whole head black—from the neck up—and I have the black contacts. All you can see is these glowing teeth."<ref name=KittsTolinski>{{cite book |last1=Kitts |first1=Jeff |last2=Tolinski |first2=Brad |title=The 100 Greatest Guitarists Of All Time |year=2002 |publisher=Hal Leonard Corporation |isbn=0-634-04619-5 |pages=3–4 |chapter=Lords Of Hard Rock: Wes Borland }}</ref> Borland's black contacts were customized for him by a company noted for making contacts for the science fiction TV series ''[[Babylon 5]]''.<ref name=KittsTolinski/>

In addition to Borland's visual appearance, the band has also used elaborate stage setups in their performances. Their Ladies Night in Cambodia club tour visually paid tribute to the film ''[[Apocalypse Now]]'', with an elaborate stage setup which featured an empty Jeep, camouflage mesh and palm trees.<ref name=Devenish51/> During the band's tour with Primus, Limp Bizkit took inspiration from Primus' trademark self-deprecatory slogan "Primus sucks": Durst, Borland, Rivers, Otto and Lethal took the stage with [[the finger|middle fingers]] raised. According to Borland, "they finger us back—and you know what that means to us—that they love us. It's kind of like saying something is bad when you really mean good. Les Claypool came out the first night of the tour and got a big kick out of it. We figured it was the right idea. It makes hecklers go 'huh.'"<ref name=Devenish51/>

During the band's sets at Ozzfest, audience members at the tour heckled Limp Bizkit, leading the band to use a {{convert|30|ft|adj=on}} toilet as a stage prop, which they would emerge from during each performance; the band punctuated their sets by "flushing" cardboard cutouts of pop stars like [[Hanson (band)|Hanson]] and the [[Spice Girls]].<ref name=Devenish51/> During their appearance at the first [[Family Values Tour]], Limp Bizkit performed on a set which the ''[[Los Angeles Times]]'' described as "a mix of ''[[War of the Worlds (2005 film)|The War of the Worlds]]'' and ''[[Mars Attacks!|Mars Attacks]]''". The band emerged from a spaceship during the tour, and Borland continued to experiment with visual appearances.<ref name=Devenish51/> During the band's [[Halloween]] performance on the tour, each of the band's members dressed as [[Elvis Presley]] at various stages in his career.<ref name=Devenish51/>
