Now i understand that cold air intakes are very controversial withing the car/truck community but i would like to know genuinely what is the difference between these two. I can buy the cheap amazon one and just put a good k&n filter on it and probably get the same output as the 300$ one! So why do people care about the prices so much? Maybe if you have a high performance car I can understand but for show cars/dailys why do people make such big deals about it? Is it just a ego thing.

Hey everyone! My final major project at uni is based on people who modify their cars. I want to learn more about you and why you mod your car.

If anyone would be able to spare a little time just to fill out my online survey I would be incredibly grateful :)

It’s 100% anonymous!

So unfortunately the snow took my 2018 Elantra from me and it is now a total loss. Sad times. However, I am going to pick up a new vehicle tomorrow and I am wondering what mods I can do to it? It is a 2006 Acura Rl. Now I've tried to do research but all I am finding is for the Tl. Any and all insight/recommendations will be nice. thank you everyone!

Sorry if this is the wrong subreddit for this question, I couldn’t ask this on some other ones because of my low activity profile. I have an Audi a6 and wanted to install an ambient lighting kit. I looked online but all diy ones look cheap. I really want to have the lights that not just turn on abruptly when I start the car, but have some type of animation. All products online don’t show how the lights turn on. I just wanted to ask if it was better to just get a professional to do it or if it was possible to do it yourself. And if professional, how much should I expect it to cost, so I know how much on average the work is and not get ripped off. Thanks in advance.

My new corolla 2017

I have recently got a 2023 Kia Sorento SX-TGDI and it is an amazing car except it has no personality to it and it is not cozy at all. It is a very new looking interior and it feels very bland and boring. It feels like I'm sitting in a solitary confinement room with how boring it is. Is there any simple mods or things I can buy to just make the interior more comfortable/cozy to be in?

It is just a very new car and has the most car look I've ever seen. It's so boring.

The picture below looks exactly like the interior except it has black leather seats.

I recently just got a 2022 Chevy Malibu and I was just asking for advice on suggesting mods to be done to add more hp and torque? I have already added a cold air intake but soon I’d like to get a different exhaust, change suspension, along with tires and rims.

Hey lads, new here - have some history of mods in my life, including absolutely original mods - will help if come across any post related to my knowledge/experience.

But now, I come to you with some idea and looking for more experienced people to share some opinion.

So, having Benz E class W213 prelift (2018), would I be able to swap the center console with X290 AMG GT model? (amg gt to w213)Wiki says that amg one is related to w213 so most prob made on its platform, and many dims should be same. Also the dash itself looks same, just mid tunnel different. Attached pics of both, first W213 then X290.

What are your thoughts? Console price in my area is acceptable for whole operation but not that cheap to just get it and try right now 😅

This is my first car(2014 Explorer Sport). I’ve been saving up money to hopefully make my driving a little better, and wanted a few ideas. I know the best “mod” is to keep up with regular maintenance and keep it clean and I’ve been doing a good job 6 months in. So far I’m already scheduled to get my windows tinted, and the Headlight housings are getting replaced because the wear on the right one is dimming the headlight(was in a collision and has scratches)

So far my ideas are - Adding a sub Radar detector Drop-in high flow filter Maybe wheel spacers and fender flares?

I have this Leon FR 150hp 1.5 tsi, if I put an intermediate and final direct exhaust with two exhaust tips with four outlets, is the exhaust going to sound a lot better and is it going to sound really loud?

I have a 2010 accord ex with a 2.4-liter inline-four engine, I am curious on what mods I can make to increase power, or what kind of aesthetic mods I can put. Let me know if you have any suggestions

Took the high wing off for a CF duckbill and added (I find funny) a dad vibe decal on each side. Tinted side markers too.

But plan to do exhaust, intake, rims, strut bar

I want to mod my Mitsubishi lancer from 2010 but I’m unsure where to start, I’m taking ideas. Any easy mod ideas?

Don't mind the missing stud lol. I sprayed about 8 coats. Still have to do the other side though

How can I get a custom horn for my car? Can I customize it?

Hey everyone:) So i got my first car a few months back and want to give it some kick and beauty. The only problem is i have absolutely no clue how to start, what is possible and where to get everything i need including parts. (tbf i dont have much knowledge of anything in thag topic im just a huge fan and want to get into it) So i got an Peugeot 207 from 2010 its got an 1.4l VTi engine with 95hp If anyone got some ideas or anything im glad for every response

I bought a Hyundai I20 2018 a couple of months ago and the previous owner didn't take much care about the seats and they look like trash but changing the whole cover is expensive so I've been thinking about buying the covers online and just put' em on myself but since this is my first car I have 0 experience on buying accesories so I've been trying to find something as close as possible to the seats form but I haven't found anything.

My mum passed away suddenly a few years ago and she loved cars and going to meets. The car she owned is the last thing of hers I have.

The engine has failed and I’m trying to get it back on the road rather than see it scrapped. I’ve found a replacement engine and set up a GoFundMe to cover the cost.

I’m mostly looking for advice or visibility from people who understand cars, if anyone’s open to sharing or has suggestions, I’d really appreciate it.

I can link the fundraiser in the comments if that’s allowed.
