And you'll also be helping out a great cause
as a large portion of the proceeds are being donated
to A Giving Heart Foundation.
And of course while you're there be sure to browse
the largest selection of wheels, tires, and suspension
on the whole freaking internet, let's get started.
Well, coming into the cold season.
If you live in an area that gets a snowy winter
your best bet is probably gonna be to cop yourself
a set of solid winter tires.
Now listen, I know talking about safety is no fun
and you probably don't wanna hear it but I'm telling you,
winter tires in snow is the best thing
in the whole wide world.
I just bought an older Mustang GT as a winter beater
and it came with some all season tires and it was absolutely
terrifying to drive in any kind of snow.
I tossed on some $584 Nexen Winguard
winter tires on the stock wheels
and not only is it any unstoppable
it stops confidently and it's so much fun.
(engine rumbles)
Alternatively, if you live in a climate that never sees snow
you can get yourself a set of Federal SS 595
and some pretty rowdy sizes under that $600 mark.
These tires provide tremendous grip
thanks to their soft compound,
a super aggressive asymmetrical tread design
that looks just as good as they perform
and hosts multiple high speed ratings.
These tires are a fantastic value in are a no brainer
for your performance oriented vehicles that need new tires
or just need a tire upgrades.
From there, getting yourself an ECU tune can make vast
improvements to your vehicle's power and driving experience
especially if it's boosted.
One of the most popular seems to be the Cobb access port
which can be used for near anything.
From the obvious Subaru WRX and STI platform, all the way
over to your modern Mustangs Ford trucks and even some BMWs.
For some older stuff in Mopar applications
DiabloSport has a ton of handheld options for you as well.
And German Elite Tuning is my absolute go to
for my personal Volkswagen and Audi products.
(engine roaring)
There's really a lot of options here,
including simply setting your ECU out
to have a new file loaded onto it
if you can't get your hands on a handheld tuner.
Essentially what this is gonna do is it's gonna optimize
your vehicle to utilize a higher octane fuel.
A higher octane fuel is gonna be more resistant
to detonation and knocks.
And more resistance to detonation means you can run
more aggressive timing meaning,
(aggressive voice) more power baby.
Most naturally aspirated applications will pick up about
15 to 20 horsepower making it
some of the cheapest horsepower you can buy.
But turbo applications is really the bread and butter here
because you're gonna be increasing the boost.
Most turbo applications are gonna pick up 50
all the way up to 150 horsepower with just a tune.
It's crazy, but it's simple and affordable
off the shelf tuned can do for you.
(loud engine roaring)
The next one is probably gonna be the most controversial
and the most exciting all at the same time.
And that's gonna be underglow.
Now listen, underglow is coming back fast
and it's not like it used to be.
99.999999% of underglow these days
is a super easy to install RGB led strip.
It's super stealthy and easy to hide, way more reliable
than the old neon tubes that we used to use.
And with the availability of 16 million color
and pattern choices, you can change up the look and vibe
of your underglow on the fly.
And even if you're not a fan or you think it's too juvenile
there's always a time when it could come in handy.
Like if you're doing any sort of off-roading
or you're on some rough terrain at night
and you need some light close beside you
or if you're phone falls out of your pocket
and you accidentally kick it under the car at night,
simply pop them bad boys on white
and easily locate your phone or other random objects.
And honestly, if you even had to work on your car
or look under it at night for any reason,
it's nearly invaluable how convenient
and useful these lights actually are.
And look, it's not like you can't just leave
the damn things off when you're not using them.
Anyway, we have underglow 10% off right now
and you can get the full four corner under glow kit
with the added lifetime warranty and four additional
wiring harness extensions for under $200.
And these things are from Black Label Lighting
so you know, that they're legit.
Exhaust is another huge one for me personally.
Most of the time, unless coupled with a tune,
you're realistically not actually looking
at any sort of power gain.
However exhaust can really improve the fun factor
in overall driving experience of your vehicle.
(loud speeding engine roar)
And I've also found I actually beat on my car a bit less
since I don't have to push it this hard
to be able to make a bunch of noise.
(loud engine roar)
It's really a win-win a simple cat back
or an extremely illegal off-road X pipe
or something like that is the perfect way
to spice up your relationship with your vehicle.
Throw on a set of some larger aftermarket exhaust tips too
and you can get some points in the looks department as well.
Then, much like the exhaust in the sense that it's
a simple mod that doesn't necessarily do much
in the way of power, than tune,
you should probably be looking at some
aftermarket open element air filter systems.
Although a lot of people might make fun of me here.
There's a bunch of added benefits.
When you think about it from a cost perspective
instead of a power perspective.
For just a couple hundred dollars or even less
you can really clean up your engine bay
by getting rid of those ugly rubber accordion intake hoses
and replace them with a nice polished painted
or even brickled black piping.
From there, the relocation of the filter
into the fender on some applications even further
cleans up the engine bay as well.
And then of course the increase of intake sounds
can do things to your driving experience
just like that exhaust does.
(engine revs)
(more engine revs)
Now, if you're really trying to clean up
the look of your vehicle, one of the best ways to do this
is with some aftermarket suspension.
Now I bet you're thinking
yeah, lowering springs, I already know, and you're right.
Lowering springs are an awesome
affordable suspension option.
I mean how, I have some H&R springs on my Mustang,
and even Alex has some H&R springs
on his new to him, Audi R8.
But what if I told you that you could have
a solid set of coil overs for most vehicles for under $600.
Some big ones that come to mind
that fit a lot of applications is these Tein Street Z
and the Function and Form.
The Tein still have all of that quality
that you would expect from such a high end manufacturer.
And the Function and Forms they're actually gonna have
some adjustable damping and a two year warranty.
I know tons of people rocking either of these
with zero complaints.
Keeping on that cosmetic trend
another awesome multipurpose option is gonna be
upgrading your lighting.
Aftermarket headlights and taillights
can do the take that look of your ride to the next level.
Whether that's something with a little bit of tint on it
to get that aggressive smoke look,
upgrading from halogen bulbs to LEDs
to getting some sequential action going in the tail lights
or simply getting something a bit more modern looking
to take away from that aged look of your old factory lights.
But upgrading your lights isn't always just about looks.
I just bought some projector headlights
and led bulbs for my old three Mustang winter beater
and it's probably one of my favorite things that I've done.
If you've ever been in just about anything from this era
a simple halogen bulb and a reflector style headlight
is absolutely trashed.
The increase in light output and quality
of that light output was a game changer.
It made it a completely different car to drive at night
especially after I tinted the windshield.
Lug nuts are a big one that's often overlooked
unless they're required.
But there's a couple of big benefits
to aftermarket lug nuts even if you have stock wheels.
One of my favorite benefits is the fact that
an aftermarket lug nut or lug bolt typically has a
smaller dimension where your tool is gonna go
making for less risk of scratching your wheels
near the lug surface when removing
and installing your wheels.
With that comes a specialty socket
to take advantage of just that.
Now these aren't locking logs with a big old clunky tool
but they will be harder to quote and quote, steal,
since you will be needing more than just
a simple socket set to remove these.
With that, you're looking at tons of color options
to either spice up the look of your wheel lug combo
or even make them a little bit less noticeable.
Then even beyond just your color, you can get a ton of
different shapes to conform to any sort of theme
if you so desire.
We have thousands of lug nuts
and lug star options available on the website.
So be sure to check those out if you haven't already
because some of the stuff that they can do
with these things is crazy.
So well, there you have it.
the best bang for your buck, car mods and accessories
for under $600.
What do you guys have on that list of
next mods for your ride?
