Rookie Car Mods To AVOID

We all want to stand out when we modify our first car but when we look back after a few years, we wish we had a friend that would've told us "don't do that." In my nicest ASMR voice, I talk through a few of those "please don't" car modifications that I think every enthusiast needs to stray away from UNTIL they're truly ready for the internet hate.

Best thing to do is start cleaning. Car wash. Vaccum the interior. Deep clean the engine bay. Find a cheap set of factory wheels that are cleaner than yours. A better looking used hood if yours is paint faded or dented. Go from cloth to leather seats vinyl works to as leather is expensive. Floor mats, steering wheel cover. All the little stuff does WONDERS for you car and can absolutely draw attention and allow you to raise the value significantly if you go to resell someday.

Solid advise

[@timonraccoon]

@@gorillawrenchin terrible advice. Do it the smart way. In my town there is those self manual wash stops where you can use a pressure washer and scrub. But don’t use the scrub because it’ll mess up your paint. Use the pressure hose on the rinse setting first and then once all the dirt and dust is removed select the soap option on the pressure washer. Once done get the rags you brought from home. (Micro fiber) or a old face towel. And make sure you dry it good. I like to clean the glass with windex and shine the tires with a tire shiner, you can do a tire and rim cleaner which works really good at cleaning your entire wheel. It’s called All Armor All Trigger Spray Extreme Wheel And Tire Cleaner, spray that before you pressure wash your vehicle and your wheel will look factory new. I wash my truck every Sunday and it only costs $3

Just make sure your the one doing maintenance on your car and not some shop. Honestly its really cringy how people wanna mod their car, show it off, but cant even do oil changes. You may feel anxious at first doing your own work, but theres plenty of videos on youtube for your specific car on whatever you need to do. Brakes, engine, etc. Youll pay atleast $500 on tools, but youll save thousands more when you can fix your car yourself. I dont have some race car, just a daily thats stage1. Im no mechanic, but ill takle anything on my car if it doesnt involve taking the engine out (i dont have room for it) Recently my timing chain needed to be replaced. So many mechanics told my my engine was done since its an interference engine. I changed the chain and several other components, car is slightly back to normal. took 5 days. I still gotta take it all back apart because im off timing by a degree, i just havnt had the energy. Easy job but a bit tedious. Anyways my man, hope your car turns out well! Enjoy and please dont be stupid on the road. Respect your car and others. Speed when its safe to do so and learn how to take turns on back roads (dry weather).

When I first got into the scene, I really thought I wanted to do a lot of cosmetic mods because that seemed like the cool thing to do. I still have the same car 12 years later and most of those cosmetic mods have been removed or not stood the test of time. I would have been better of not spending money on 90% of them. The cosmetic mods that stayed were the ones that were the simplest and least "stand out" of them all. The next was wheels. I thought bigger diameter was better. I regretted ever minute of having 30 series profile tires on 19 inch wheels. The car was rough on the pavement and I bent the rims in no time. A few years later I switched to a higher quality rim in an 18" diameter and never looked back. Love the videos, cheers.

One of the best tips I ever learned from the Japanese, regardless if it's a lightly tuned street car to a full blown race car: make your car balanced. Nothing looks better, drives better and gathers respect better than a well balanced car. Have a huge turbo on a car with stock internals and brakes? Have a wide body kit with a car on wheel spacers pushing 140 hp? You get criticism because people SEE the wolf in sheep's clothing. Well, sheep in wolves clothing.

[@Hellamoody]

Good point

[@lewisvenable9904]

lol my cars hp is 147-55. Personally, idc so much of making it fast. Non turbo engine anyways. what i care for is light cosmetics and a good sounding exhaust note. So far iv only tweeked my front and rear bumpers. coilovers, changed rear tailights with smoked out LED ones. Sound system and some other small stuff. Im still on stock wheels unfortunately but that's mainly cuz i got bills and whenever i want to start saving, its usually the time i gotta do maintenance or fix something. 2017 Hyundai Elantra. Not so much of a car people wanna see but im the only one in my area who has one in the process of modding. So, along with my exhaust, which grabs the most attention, i havnt gotten hate in anyway. Just kids who pull up next to me in their 2020 turbo'd gti LOL. living wit mom and pops is what we all wish 😂 no hate for them tho, i just think its funny

I agree about say the wing and slamming a car, but a fake vent is just trying poorly to look like something it's not. It would be like putting wooden vinyl wrap on carpet and claiming you have hardwood.

Fuck fake vents tbh but do I big wing I love it personally

[@clonescope2433]

Certain mods should be avoided at all costs especially if you plan to drive your vehicle on public roads such as slamming it because no other drivers need to be inconvenient when you high-center yourself on a speed bump or trying to get into a parking lot. Also at home lift jobs, because if it's not done right one hit and you can totally your vehicle.

what to avoid when getting into cars : 1. worrying about other peoples mods, do what you like cuz no matter what you do someone will hate it and someone else will like it

Top 10 things to avoid on your car: 1. Oversized tyres 2. Over-the-top aero 3. Flame stickers 4. Calliper covers 5. Fake vents 6. Excessively dark window tinting 7. Loud exhaust 8. Aftermarket (Cheap Chinese) headlights/taillights 9. Excessively lowered suspension 10. Stupidly stanced wheels.

I don't understand why everyone hates on big wings like "oh but you don't actually need the aero it's a slow car". Do you buy wheels because they are light or they look good? Do you buy steering wheels because they are functional or because it feels better? Do you paint the car because it ends up more aerodynamic or because you actually want a nice colour? You see my point? There are many mods these days that are simply not functional. And they look great as long as it's done right.

All I recommend is the at home slam or Lyft depending on your vehicle because they can cause a lot of damage if not done properly. Also as a general fact of life don't slam a car you plan on driving on public roads to the point where it'll get high centered on a speed bump or stuck trying to get into a parking lot, it'll make you look stupid once you get stuck and inconvenience other people around you. Other than that have fun just stay Within safety and legality. If it seems sketchy you probably shouldn't be doing it.

Avoid big rims without upgrading the suspension, avoid king springs if you got potholes when lowering, get coilovers instead of spring and shocks, don't get a body kit or lip unless you don't drive it, a bit camber is good for corners but unevenly wear your tyres, led lights are sick as hell but bass is really where you get the ladies not super loud just enough to make them wet, two 12" subs did the trick for me, don't get a loud exhaust unless you can turn it on/off, paint your brakes put stickers on your windows but not your body, don't use EL wire if it's exposed to UV, don't get a wing unless you do track days, don't make your own cold air intake with bits from Bunnings - 3d print your own or just get a high flow oil panel filter, don't cover your intake with oil or your car won't start. Don't cut your springs, put sound deadening in if you've got rattles, turn your sound up if you hear random sounds or take it somewhere to look at if it's something that the tool to fix it is more expensive than paying someone else to do it.

[@jcmartinez7527]

Avoid spending too much money on cheap mods. Cheap mods are usually fun and easy to do. But a lot of times, I see people install so many cheap mods, that their car looks like shit and the total amount of money spent on the Cheap mods is enough to buy a few real good but still affordable mods. My advice would be to avoid all cheap mods and save up for good tires. If your car has undersized wheels, buy some good but affordable wheels to go with the good tires. Tires are hands down the most bang for your buck in terms of performance gain. Next, buy lowering springs AND matching shocks. I recommend Koni Yellow adjustable or Bilstein B6/B12 shocks. With lowering springs, good tires and wheels, your car will look so much better than a car with a ton of cheap mods done to it. Then, sway bars (if the car needs them, sometimes a car only needs a stiffer rear bar, sometimes only a stiffer front bar) After suspension is dialed in to your preferences, you can start doing some aesthetic mods. Want to make your car look better for cheap? Polish your stock headlights or buy oem style replacements. No one likes the cheap as eBay, spec-d halo headlights. Clean, clay bar, and polish your paint. Keep the interior clean as can be. Don't forget about maintenence. Who wants a good looking car when it needs work done all the time?

If your car vibrates everything within a block when you're at a stoplight, you can guarantee to be hated in any locality. Seriously. I keep windows shut & can even have headphones in, but some cars produce a rumble that runs through concrete walls. Drives me nuts.

[@chaseblackwood8167]

“locally hated” started around here because of what happened a couple years back. charlotte mechlenberg PD impounded like 90-100+ of our cars for various reasons. so they started that sticker here because of how much the PD hate us car people

Tow hooks/straps are a big one too. I’ve seen too many plastic heart tow hooks zip tied to bumpers lol.

[@clappingzz4298]

some people just like the look of them 🤷. personally I wouldn't put one on my car but people should do whatever makes them happy and what they like

[@pickleddolphinmeatwithhors677]

Some better advice would be to do what you want and not care what people you'll never meet again think of your choices. The car community will never be completely happy with what you do. Anyone who's been a part of it for more than a day knows that whatever car you have, whatever engine is in it, whatever you have done to it will always disappoint someone. There's no point in trying to please a crowd that can't be pleased, so please yourself. Put hellcat badges on a PT cruiser. Drive a V6 mustang/Camaro/challenger. Buy a short bed truck. Put a giant wing on a FWD civic. We all have our reasons for making the weird choices we do; not everyone wants a car just to drive fast and loud, or look good. Pay no mind to people who don't matter. Sorry if you actually read all that but I'm slightly inebriated so I felt the need to write all that.

Gonna get a “hated by very few people sticker

[@adityaranjansahoo6261]

When You are not even allowed TO CHANGE THE HEADLIGHTS DUE TO NO AUTO MODIFICATION RULES😒😒😭😭😭😭😭

[@justinl2009]

Except if you're going for a bosozoku style build, in which all of this is pretty much fair game.

[@mostlyitsme2523]

I hate that you chose that car to put on the background for the first thing to avoid. That car is so nice and the guy is genuinely a good person.

[@dsp4392]

Ouch, you know this guy is young when his teenage mistake was freaking Plastidip. Remember the No Fear stickers?

[@315Stain]

I dont understand why you would want the word "hate" on your car in any form. Car culture is about love.

I had a AQUAHOLIC on my windshield and half of my rear windshield sticked out😂
