What's your favorite cheap/free mod you know of?

[BaawzShootz]

Although not a mod, keeping your car clean, inside and out, increases looks by like a thousand percent.

1. Plasti dip (to change the color of car and parts)
2. Colored headlight films
3. Tighten throttle cable
4. Rain visors
5. Upgrade headlights
6. Shift knob

Putting LED's or HID's in a car that wasn't made for them is a great way to blind everyone else on the road. The reflectors inside the lamp housing also need to be adjusted if you're going to do this.

The only car mod I can afford is putting taping a soda can on the tip of my exhausts

I can also say that in some automatic cars, the gear knob can be taken off with very minimal effort to be replaced. Just make sure that you buy the correct type of shift knob for your car because otherwise it won’t work right.

"just upgrade LED Headlights" This sounds easy in the US, but for us folks in Germany it's another story... 😑

[leopolddupuis]

If you mod make sure you can always go back to stock for when you decide to sell your ride. Because a cars value is always higher stock. You can always sell your custom Advan wheels separately, putting the stock wheels back on your car to sell it.

Bro that fixd thing is absolutely worth it if your a competitive driver compared to having a garage on standby to see what’s specifically wrong with your car every time something is off.

[kobeclaybrook]

That throttle cable tip was extremely helpful thank you🙏🙏🙏

Take it from me, and learn from my mistakes. If you have reflector housings, make sure you get LED’s that are specific for your car. This way the Light emitting diodes are in the right place, comparable to where the burning filament would be with the halogen. Additionally, make sure you adjust your headlights off a wall as to make sure you aren’t blinding other drivers, because they are BRIGHT. Like DAYLIGHT.

9:30 I got bad news… you can change the knob in a automatic lol

[carswapnetwork]

No one :Yes Officer, it's stock
Officer : Understandable, have a great day

[GameGangster]

Thank you so much Ideal! I don't have a car yet, but I will soon and I am adding all of your videos to a playlist to use them later on.

[lgz]

Maybe thanks to you, my future car modifications would be sick but cheap or heck, free!

[BabylonGames]

Headlights are definitely not consistently that easy to take out. Many manufacturers like to make it so you have to either take the whole assembly out, or go in from the wheel well.

[justinyarbrough]

thats so funny, i literally got a buttonless automatic carbon fiber shift knob last week and i have new headlights and bulbs in my cart😂😂😂

[MrMotopsyco]

So for the headlights... Many newer cars require you to remove at least part of the front of the car, if not the whole front clip just to get to the screws that allow you to remove the headlight assembly to get to the bulbs. Enjoy.
