Hello, I own a 2021 Hyundai Tucson. I'm very new in the car modification subject so there might me a lot of terms and names of items I don't know yet so I'm looking for some guidance. I live in a very small rural town, I mostly do what I can on my own or look up online. I heard that in FL you can only use white and amber lights.
hey i was wondering if body kits were a thing for the hybrid/luxury 2025 trim. i wanted it to look nice aesthetically, similar to the N line but i don’t really care about performance and tuning cuz i care about mpg more hahaha. i already have tints and window visors on my car and was wondering what else i can add. i was thinking this:
idk what else. just wondering what ur thoughts were, thanks
I have been trying to find some decent LED replacements for my halogen fog lights. I have came across these that are the right color temperature I’m looking for but they don’t seem to have any significant heat dissipation. Should I be worried about having them burn up on me? They’re 8W and supposedly 800lumens. I haven’t ordered them yet because I just thought of this.
I have a 1980 ford Granada I’ve been trying to turn into a mini sleeper and I’d like to put larger dual piston calipers on the front. Only problem is I can’t find any brackets that would allow the use of any other kind of calipers other than stock. I know swapping Granada spindles into early mustangs and even earlier fords used to be pretty common, so I figured there would be a big brake upgrade, but I guess not. Does anyone know of some brackets or kits that would work on my Granada?
Car came like this and I didn’t realize till it was mine. Any simple(ish) solution to fixing this? Not really in the modding community so don’t roast me if this is completely unfixable

What are good sites or body’s parts to start modifying on a 2017 GMC TERRAIN FWD
Was looking at bull boost performance turbos as mine is starting to go, the bearing it’s getting bad on mine. I’ve seen these guys around on social media and what not, but does anyone have experience with them or use their parts in your build, looking and their ball bearing turbos, also if you run these and know if they handle high boost well and things like that.Thanks for the help in advance!
Hey everyone! I’m looking to upgrade the rear lights on my 2017 Polo TSI Highline R-Line (see picture) and found the VLAND rear lights. V-land told me this: Some customers have previously reported that the TSI version of the plugs may not fit.
Also, if anyone has alternative recommendations for darker rear lights, I’d love to hear them. Or, if there’s a good way to double-check fitment, please let me know. Thanks in advance!
I have a 2012 VW Beetle Turbo and I am interested in swapping the engine, but I need some help with research! How can I find information about what will fit in my car, and if it will really be an upgrade beyond tuning and adding supporting parts? Current Engine is CBFA EA888 2.0L 4 Cylinder with a turbo producing 200hp and 207 ftlb. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!
New to modding, but how do I know which sway bars to get? Are there any brands/types you recommend

Am I looking at this decal correctly? Isn't one side supposed to be reversed for the other side of the car? 🤔 Amazon sucks....
Hey everyone! I'm from Brazil and I'm 21M. I recently got my hands on a 2015 Renault Sandero 1.0, and I'm super eager to customize it a bit without breaking the bank. I'm curious about what affordable mods you all would recommend that could improve performance or just make my ride look cooler. What do you think should be my first steps? Any tips or experiences you’d like to share would be awesome! Thanks in advance!

TLDR: Looking for a cold air intake for a 2021 Hyundai Sonata N-Line that is California street legal.
Hello all, new to the sub here! I am looking for a California-approved cold air intake for my boyfriend’s birthday that’s coming up. Because of the holiday season, I wanted to get ahead of this sooner rather than later. He’s been saying that he wants one for his 2021 Hyundai Sonata N-Line but to my understanding the mod is allowed if it is CARB approved. I’ve been doing research the past few days and it doesn’t help that I’m not car-savvy like him. I would ask him but obviously it’s a surprise. If anyone could send me some links or to other subs that would help me out, that would be greatly appreciated. Thank you all in advance :)
So I’m planning to get some 17x7.5 wheels on my cooper and I don’t know if that will work fine with added spacers or if I should get wider wheels. Most widebody kits for my car add around 25-35mm
my friend bought an after market steering wheel for his scat pack with an led screen on it that displays (mph, car temps, etc). it came with a white plugging that goes in the obd port to get that info, he asked me to drive it and when i was taking the parking break off i accidentally hit it, and it broke. he’s trying to make me pay $1000 for a new wheel, and i don’t have that kind of money. is there some way to replace the plugin? please help
Just installed. Looks sick. You can do it yourself. Only took 2 hours.
I have a BMW z3 with a m52tu engine and I know that the m50 intake swap is a common upgrade however these performance intake manifolds are perpose made for performance for this exact engine but considering they are always made of metal that could heat up the air coming in so Im unsure if I should I get something like shown in the picture or should I just get a plastic m50 intake
Hi everyone, this is my first post here just trying to get some info. I have a 2002 Mitsubishi Lancer LS and I was wondering if there are any body kits that work on it. It's a bit basic and I just want a sportier look
Thanks all, excited to be a part of the community!
Hey I'm interested in having purple tint on my fog lights, I was just wondering if anyone knows if such a thing would be legal in NC
Like if I hit the lotto tomorrow or a rich uncle I didn't know about dies, what would this actually cost? Because a badass V8 manual hearse with a warranty sounds like exactly how I would want to blow that windfall
I want somthing that has good aftermarket support and is good looking. I’ve been thinking about the 2016 miata, 90’s civic, 350/370z, brz/86/frs, or sn95 mustang. If theres any similar cars I should be looking at that are better then tell me. I’m trying to get it under 10k$ If possible, and fb marketplace is my best option.
I recently installed the Yofer front lip on my Honda Civic 11 Gen. Looks sick!

Just bought a Subaru forester that has been straight piped and I’m wanting it to quiet down a bit, as it’s obviosuly very loud and disturbs the neighbours and is illegal I believe? What are my options because I wanna keep it pretty loud just not that loud, and what’s something low costing
