The Basics in Car Modification (Part III)

CONTINUED…

Alright, now that you have your car’s exterior covered, you have to make sure your car has enough bang to go with it, performance-wise. There are loads of performance kits out there to give your car that added boost. A great turbo kit will make sure your car won’t be left to snort the fumes from other faster rides. Also you car has to have enough brains to handle all that power so throw-in a quality ECU as well.

Just because you’re not concerned about your weight doesn’t mean your car shouldn’t as well. Put your car on diet. Get a good weight- reduction kit for it as well because less poundage means more zoom for your car.

And to round that off, go ahead and get a good nitrous oxide kit for a speed burst when you need it most. Boy, you’re car should be smoking by now, eh?

So your car looks good and goes fast, but does it have a good sound system? Give your car its own theme song to go with its looks and power by installing great amplifiers and sub-woofers for it. Low-quality ones have less power and may even sound a bit off. Great ones though, well, let’s just say you’ll be the village alarm clock and I’m not even exaggerating. You’ll have everyone’s head bobbing up and down in no time. God bless sound engineering. Boom-boom-boom baby!

If you followed my list, by now, you’re car should be just about ready to hit the streets and dazzle everyone. There’s just one more thing left: the interior. No matter how good your car looks on the outside, driving it will not be enjoyable if you don’t have the proper stuff INSIDE the car, you know what I mean? First off, what do you do before you start your car? You have to SIT inside first right? Ok so you’re thinking, replacing your seats might be a little overkill. I you do then you’re missing the point. When you get into car modification, you have to pay attention to every little detail in your car inside and out. You got to have the rights seats man. Bucket-type seats offer good support for your back and it’s professionally set to be in the optimum driving configuration. Hell, pro racers have been enjoying these types of seats for decades. So if it’s good for them it’s damn sure good enough for the ordinary driver. Leave it to the experts.

Now that we got you sitting comfortably, how bout your passengers? Get choice upholstery so you’re passengers sit comfortable and in style. Trust me, you’ll be thanking me when the ladies flock to your car because of them.

Everybody’s comfortable, so now what? Are they bored? Chuck in some entertainment for them then. There are great LCDs that you can installed on the back of the driver’s headrest. Why do you need them, you ask? So you can install a couple of game consoles, that’s why. Now no one gets bored in your car, no one. And with that awesome sound system that you have, they’ll be playing as if they were the characters themselves. Got some more room? Here are some things you can add: GPS (so you’ll know exactly where the party’s going to be), a fridge for sodas (what? Were you thinking of beer? You know driving while getting smashed is illegal…if the good ‘ole 5-0 catches you) and virtually anything else you can fit in there. Be creative. It’s your friggin’ car so you should be able to dress it up some more to suit your taste and personality.

Now that everything is everything, open that garage door, rev your NEW car up till it redlines then zoom off and experience everything that you and you’re car have been missing out on. Cheers!
