4 Car Mods I REGRET Doing Late!

We all have regrets in our lives. Some because of mistakes, but others because of misguidance. In truth, it's better late than never and boy do I REGRET getting to these Car Mods as late as I did. I should've listened to all those "First Car mods you should buy" videos that kept telling me to Lower my car because seriously...how the heck did Past Me, or really any of y'all MF's put up with massive wheel gap ESPECIALLY if you got like 5 billion other cosmetic mods on the car. How the heck you gonna smack louvers, quarter louvers, spoilers, wickerbills, bolt on fenders, crazy vinyl wraps, vortex generators, AND STILL be on Stock Wheels and Stock Fitment.

I ain't even got room to talk...you see Lucina in her early days? The one when she had all them louvers and Anime Wrap, Aventador lights, but stock fitment?? NGL, I still think Louvers and Lights are cool, BUT YOU GOTTA LOWER IT TOO. Otherwise it just seems so unfinished, y'know?

Funnily enough, lowering a car first, doesn't give it that "unfinished look" I'd rather have a lowered Stock Cosmetic Car, than a Cosmetically Modded but not lowered car. Also fixing C7 Z06 cooling was overdone too. Sheesh, what I was slacking. My poor girl was hurting her engine up until 38K miles when I finally addressed her cooling rebuild. She feels so much more consistently snappier too. None of that "Lag" or "loss of Power" feeling I got after my 3rd pass through Blue Ridge Scenic Byway, or heck, even 1 pass through Wolf Mountain.

Thank you very much Avalon King for Sponsoring this Video!

Suspension should come before engine modifications as not only is upgraded suspension faster around the track faster than a turbo your car also looks better and the suspension is more stronger, looks better and is probably lighter and faster.

[GartenhausLP]

Wheels, tires and suspension are the most worthwhile mods for sure, especially proper summer tires.

1:34 - Low ground clearance, meet pothole. Wallet, meet "Damage to the underside and suspensions, cracked rims, popped wheels, smashed wheelpit" :)

The only car I think is ok to have stock fitment is a challenger because of how large it is. IMO it looks pretty good as is

5:52 stock tuck so bad that bladed didn't put it in the video

Hey bladed quick talk, these videos have been what's keeping me going. See the new video is what has brought a smile to my face so thank you. I'm not old enough where I have a lot of experience with cars or even own one but I still love them and I have a little knowledge about them. So every video I learn at least one thing, keep up the good work and once again thank you.

Suspension, wheels and tires are usually the first mods I do. Great way to personalize your car

I didn’t know you got the s550 back, nice to see her again!

[hant]

When I told my friends that I increase tire wall to fill the wheel gaps on my WRX they think that I'm dumb. Little that they know that my car isn't like the mainstream, it's lifted.

My car’s black, so PPF + ceramic is critical to keep it from being a swirly mess. I love being able to do a foam bath + pressure washer to clean, rather than having to (normally) hand wash.

Love my Adam’s dryer, too. Of course, I am one of those people who want my car to be immaculate 100% of the time. 😂

This video has one of the very few sponsors that I don't skip and actually watch through the whole thing.

I would argue the very first thing you do is FIX the damn car before you start adding more stuff that'll break anyway if you leave it as is. For me, new Brembos and coilovers were a fix for warped rotors and dead struts so it was a win-win, but just fixing what's absolutely necessary will make modding whatever else so much easier.
Great vid, Callie looks great :)

My biggest is being in a country where you can't drive at 16 and where you still have to wait until 19 to actually drive a car more powerful than 95hp/1000kg and, even another two years to avoid paying triple for insurance because "I'm young and dangerous". But hey, I can appreciate more little changes in horsepower! I sure will be happy changing from 95hp to 120! I love your content, thanks dude.

Blade: You should lower your car.

Me: Raised my car as soon as I bought it (lowered by previous owner) because of our shit roads here in Brisbane, Australia.

Totally glad I did that too after the recent flooding as every road is full of potholes atm.

exhaust is a must do mod in imo, it make the car/bike more enjoyable and fun to drive/ride giving you motivation to have fun with it and modify it more

[KevinBesnier]

That's what I actually did for my winter driver! I got 55 tires for my prelude and the wheel gap is about two fingers and the ground clearance for Canadian winter is decent!

[lucid]

man the more i watch your videos the more excited i get to get my own car

[ndkk]

One lesson I learned from my first G37 was to focus on handling before cosmetics and power. I waited too long to replace the sway bars and control arms and its shocking how the car dynamics changed. Oh and you can ceramic coat your exhaust tips, but check with the manufacturer first.

You videos are amazing! I love them! I appreciate the videos and the knowledge for cars. I thought I knew a lot before but wow there is so much more and I’m glad to learn this! Keep up the great work!
