Ways to Customize Your Car without Looking Like an Idiot
Aftermarket Wheels
A perfectly fitted set of wheels is key to not looking like an idiot on the street. Search online forums pertaining to your car and find a set that someone else has fitted right to your platform and run with it.
Great Tires
Having a grippy tire means the world when the tire is the part of the car that transfers the power to the ground. Don’t compromise here.
Suspension Tuning
Package this with an aftermarket wheel upgrade and you are sitting pretty!
ECU Tuning
This is a must and go to a professional, this is by far one of the best upgrades.
Dyno Tuning
Performance Exhaust
Choose one that is crisp and clean not just loud and universal.
Engine Swap
Engine swaps are great if you’ve purchased an underperforming car and someone else has figured out a nice swap for your platform
Forced Induction
Potential to double or triple the power output of your car. This is a must but takes serious dedication.
Proper Wide Body Kit
Custom Wrap
A wrap is a multi-purpose upgrade. Fresh look and paint protection
Drivetrain Optimization
A performance clutch is always a great option when adding power to your car such as a ecu tune or turbo upgrade.
Better Brakes
One of the most overlooked part of the car that will save you more than you realize
Custom Upholstery
Simple suede overlays are a fantastic way to clean up your interior components.
Window Tint
Better Speakers
Not just big subs, get quality speakers and a medium sized size to match. Quality is key
Weight Reduction
Caveat: We don’t mean fake carbon fiber appliques.
Can’t go wrong with Carbon Fiber accessories
Shift Knob
Don’t get a LED one, please
Short Throw Shifter
If you have a 5 or 6 speed and short throw is always a good street performance upgrade for quicker shifting
Aftermarket Steering Wheel
Please don’t do this unless you have a four or five point harness.
Roll Cage
Depending how much you value your life and what your goals are, get a roll cage.
Data Logging System
If doing serious mods, data is critical in knowing how your car is responding and reacting to situations
Aero Upgrades
If track goals aren’t in the works just disregard just like the roll cage, but aero is sick!
Aftermarket Seat
Racing seats give you a more firm feel and more confidence as a driver, but don’t make this the only upgrade
Sport Pedals
Specialty Outfitters
For the right price an outfitter will take a brand new car and make it even more extreme for you
Actual Sponsors
Not a sticker you get with a product you purchased
Pinstriping
