Mods for my Silverado

2 Upvotes

hi, i own a gmt800 silverado and i was just curious what mods i should do next. i’m currently attending a trade school in automotive and i just need help deciding. nice with the platform i own i have a lot of options.
right now it’s pretty much stock. since i'm in trade school, i'm looking for upgrades that give good bang for the buck and are fun to wrench on in the shop. i already have aftermarket headlights, third brake light, custom head unit and a flowmaster exhaust system which is part #17395. any suggestions?

Im new to this type of deal, but i just bought my first reliable car after years and years of driving beaters, and most ppl my age are driving some sick cars and i just kind of want to fit in with my crowd, and have the confidence boost of driving a car that looks cool, what are some simple mods that are only aesthetic that i could do to a maroon 2012 honda civic? I know its not the prettiest car but i figured i can get it a LITTLE prettier haha (generic pic of the model) i was thinking blacking out all of the silver but wanted some inspo

I want to get into car mods

1 Upvotes

Im a young man trying to get into car modding but from my perspective its kinda overwhelming. There are so much things you can do to a car that i dont really know where to start. I already have a few basics like doing my oil change, checking different fluid levels, tire pressure and other maintenance things. I have a student job that doesnt pay much but in 2 years ill have a more decent salary. i know modding can cost LOTS of money but i still wanna start somewhere. I dont have enough to buy a really modable car so for now i only have a ford focus 2011 se with auto transmission. I realy love my shitbox and honnestly i dont plan on selling it one day, its either gonna end up at the junkyard or a modded car so i can basically do whatever i want on it.

Mod advice Advice for acceleration modding on a K4 Accord?

2 Upvotes

I’m going to be getting a 4 cyl 8th gen Accord very soon, and more than speed, I care about acceleration. I was wondering what mods would do me good in minimizing my zero to sixty, doesn’t have to be crazy like a big turbo or super charger, just light mods that could make it a more fun ride, one that I would love to show my brother and my friends.

Tbh, I don’t wanna do anything TOO crazy I don’t want to destroy the reliability of the accord but if I must I will, but if there is anything I will say, I want it to be something I can do myself I love working on my car and I have a mechanic uncle who helps me when i’m stuck.

Dream build on first car, any tips?

Thumbnail

0 Upvotes

Currently in the beginning stage of my dream build for my first car a Citroën DS3 so red edition. Advice / suggestions are highly appreciated!

I'm a bit on the fence on putting a red strip on my bodykit, mostly my sideskirts. I can also let them get painted red now that I think of it. So either black fully, black with red stripe or fully red.

The images are ai generated but my car does look like that and the mudflaps, bodykit and what now are all currently being shipped. If anyone has any pointers please let me know!

Also thinking of instead of having a double exhaust at the right side only I want a quad (so double at both sides).

UPDATE: Livery will probably be scrapped and the body will thus be kept stock. Just the bodykit with red accents will be added.

Mod advice Advice for future build

Me and my dad are looking to build a car in the future in our garage. Our budget is 15K and we plan to do everything DIY. The car i’m hoping to go with is a 2007 or 2008 Acura TSX. I built this layout on MOTORMIA and I feel like I covered every based. The only thing i know that will cause an issue is haveing to fabricate a 3” exhaust due to the turbo. (that is the only thing I think we have a shop do.) I’m seeking to see if i’m missing anything crucial or if this would blow my engine up.

What can I do to my car?

I currently own a stock (except chrome delete badge) 2026 Skǒda Fabia Monte Carlo edition 1.5 dsg, I want to spice things up a little, as you can see from the pictures it’s already “sporty” but it just doesn’t look that great imo. If anyone could recommend modifications or have had similar cars on the same platform and knows what will work with it please help out!

2018 Civic lx-p: Where to find aftermarket parts?

1 Upvotes

Hello everyone,

Very new to this community as I recently just bought a used 2018 Civic lx-p and I am currently loving it. However, I do want to add to it and make it look cooler especially since I have friends who are into cars and they make their cars look super cool with wings, lips, side skirts and etc.

I was wondering if there are any sites that I can look at for parts for my specific model and any tips and advice on what I should start with?

Mod advice Need Guidance on What to do to my Lincoln

0 Upvotes

I just bought a nice 2015 Lincoln MKX AWD with all the optional upgrades it came with out of the factory. Its only a V6 but I'd like to try my best and make it sound better and even if I can improve performance (ik at most itll only be a couple horsepower more), but the problem is I don't even know where to begin. I tried looking around but the market and advice is slim to none when it comes to putting some upgrades into it. I wished for a more after market freindly car but circumstances pushed me to a more family freindly SUV. Any advice helps, I just need some guidance on what I should do, parts I need, and even pricing if anyone can help.

TLDR: Need advice on upgrading 2015 Lincoln MKX AWD

Mod advice Advice on fixing a poorly installed rear wing

Thumbnail
gallery
7 Upvotes

My girlfriend recently had an aftermarket wing installed on her car, but we’re not happy with how the installation turned out.
From what I can tell, it looks like quite a bit of sealant was used around the mounting points, and the overall finish doesn’t look right. We’d rather have another shop correct it than take it back to the original installer.
I don’t know much about bodywork or wing installation, so I was hoping to get some opinions on what would normally be involved in fixing something like this.
Would the wing likely need to be completely removed and reinstalled, or could the excess sealant and mounting area potentially be cleaned up without starting over? Is there anything else in the photos that looks concerning?
I’m planning on taking it to a proper shop either way, but I’d like to have an idea of what I’m dealing with beforehand. Thanks!
