- Now, unless your goal in life is to be a boring person,
you probably can't resist the instinctual urge
to modify your vehicle.
Car guys like you and I,
we want to make our car stand out
in a sea of neutral colored stocks and dance.
We want to attract that attention
from other car enthusiasts.
It's like a frigging Batman beacon
shining out in the night to let everyone know,
"Hey, I'm a car guy and I wanna talk about cars,
and I wanna play Forza with my car friends!"
All right?
But when you're just starting out,
or picking up a new car,
it can be a little bit difficult
to choose the right path for cosmetic modifications.
That's why today, I'm gonna take you guys
through the best cosmetic mods
that you can buy for your car.
But before we get into all of that,
make sure you guys are subscribed,
so we can fill your feed
with all kinds of awesome car content.
And give that video a thumbs up.
It helps us out a ton, and we super appreciate the love.
And if you need anything, wheels, tires,
or suspension for your car,
make sure to come see the experts at Fitmentindustries.com.
And if you like hood rat car (beep), big smokey burnouts,
or you just want to see some behind
the scenes action here at Fitment Industries.
Go ahead and give me a follow at Seanb.FI on Instagram,
let's get started.
Whether your car is completely stock or
heavily modified you got to get the tint, Gels.
This is going to be one of the best bangs for your buck
overall, in terms of look and function.
For just a couple of hundred dollars
you're going to get that nice, clean, dark look
on that glass that accentuates the car's design elements,
other cosmetic mods that you have on the car,
and also your trim, whether that's black or its chrome.
It's going to make it stand out a real, real nice.
Even if you have a car that's 200% not worth modifying.
Tint is still more than appropriate and can still
make it stand out without doing something super
"Fast and the Furious" like, if you know what I mean.
You can even go as far as simply adding
a windshield banner on the front as well,
usually looks a little bit more aggressive than stock,
and the tint is going to help keep the inside
of your vehicle cooler, protecting it from UV damage.
And it's going to make it harder for, you know,
passing by little thieves to choose
your vehicle as an easy target.
And if your vehicle already has factory tint
on the rear windows, tinting the front costs even less.
Now I know at some point someone's going
to bring up the legalities of tint.
So first off, check your local state laws regarding tint
for Wisconsin, the front windows can actually be no darker
than 50% with a limit of 35 on the rear doors
and the rear windshield.
Now most cars that have factory tint on the rear is usually
going to be around that 20% Martial,
not really sure how that works legally, but just be aware
that there is the possibility of tint drawing some
negative attention from law enforcement.
Since most of it is technically illegal.
Then after you get the tint done,
you got to get that thing sitting, right?
You know, you can't be going around and putting spoilers
and lifts down without taking care of that wheel gal, right?
You need to go and get yourself some aftermarket suspension.
You know where to go and get that right?
Now I know it might sound a little counterintuitive to
be putting suspension on this list as a cosmetic mod,
but trust me
lowering any literally any vehicle,
will make it look league's better.
And it's going to also give it a much more
aggressive stance.
So it's going to help make your other cosmetic mods coming
after this one even better.
And even if you're on a super strict budget
you can still 200% just get a set of of lowering springs.
Typically lowering springs can get you
down about an inch or two,
and then you're not going to have the adjustment
that you would with a coil over kit that we have,
but they will get you going in the right direction.
Otherwise getting into an entry-level brain named coilovers
one of the best suspension plays for your buck right now
the BC racing BR series is going to start
under a thousand dollars.
And it's going to bring you an adjustable body
and adjustable damping.
This means that you can set these bad boys
to soft when your street driving the car,
and then set them up for competition when you hit the track,
or if you want to up that budget a little bit
and absolutely steal the fricking show.
Air suspension is going to get the most looks possible.
There's nothing quite like airing out
in front of the normies at the gas station.
Plus then you get the versatility
of being able to adjust your height
on the fly for any terrain that you may come across
no matter what your budget though
we have a suspension solution for you.
It's just a matter of heading over
to the website and then enter that year, make, and model.
And you can go in and sort by prices and its that simple.
After you get that wheel gap settled
you got to give it the wheel tire package treatment.
There is no better way to change the entire look
of your vehicle,
than getting aftermarket wheels and aftermarket tires.
But this is probably also one
of the most difficult places to make that decision.
There's thousands and thousands and thousands
of choices in styles and colors, castings, forgings,
rotor reforming, sizes, offsets, and aspect ratios.
It can get overwhelming very quickly
if you're not an expert.
man it's almost like somebody should start a database where
enthusiasts can go to share their full build specs.
You can quickly and easily see what fits your vehicle,
and what looks good for the sake of all humanity.
Oh, that's right we did exactly that.
And we have over 34,000 cars in our galleries
full detailed spec sheet of wheel sizing,
offsets, tire sizes, suspension, and whether
or not you have to modify your fender liners
or roll your fenders or whatever.
If you haven't been to the gallery yet
I highly encourage you to use it to your advantage.
It's a free tool that can save you some serious time
and serious money down the road.
Anyway, this is the one thing that's going to set the bar
for the rest of your build.
So make sure what you get is something that will actually
take you in the direction that you actually want to go.
Congratulations. You've got the big stuff out of the way.
Now it's time to tie it all together
with some additional parts and pieces.
The most obvious one that comes to mind
is going to be tossing on some little bitty arrow bits.
Nice little lip or splitter
on the front of your car is a really easy way to drizzle
in some of that aggressive look to the front of your car.
It's going to make the body look a little bit closer
to the ground.
And overall it's usually just a straight up more
menacing looking addition, especially with canards,
but be careful with the canards
it can get pretty gony really fast.
And it's going to look like it's going
to fricking pounce on you or something following the lifts
and the splitters, side skirt extensions have
become extremely popular over the last couple of years.
Just like the front lip.
It's a really easy way to get that extra dash of something.
That's not a giant fast and the furious side skirt
but still putting a little something
something in there to get that sharp appearance.
And of course, moving out back
the diffuser is going to do the same thing that the lip
and the side skirts are going to do for you
it's going to add some of that aggression
and get that really low appearance,
easy peasy, lemon squeezy.
It's hard to go wrong with these as long as you know,
you don't overdo it.
And of course you can't make it past adding or
removing a spoiler, a spoiler, or the lack there of
is really going to change that appearance and steer it
towards whatever theme you're trying to achieve
going for that clean, sleek look on your EVO.
A spoiler delete might just be the play.
I literally just saw a sick EVO eight this morning
with a spoiler delete and it looked absolutely fantastic.
Or maybe you want to make it look
like a frigging time attack car.
Maybe you even want to actually make it a time attack car
go ahead and throw a gigantic frickin spoiler
on the thing like Gels and demand that attention.
Or if you want to do a little something something
without going full time attack or full delete,
a nice additional little smaller profile duck bill
or something can really set off the rear end
without going overboard and keeping a flowing smooth look.
A good example of this would probably be Gels' FRS actually
that carbon trunk with that molded duck bill is so hot.
P
And while you're looking at the back
especially if you want a little diffuser,
exhaust tips are an often overlooked bargain change that can
make a huge difference in how your car looks.
If you're going with something gigantic with a burnt tip,
all the way to just sort up badging your tips.
The first one that comes to mind for me is
I remember a bunch of
like SN 197 Mustang guys were switching
from their stock dual tips and,
going up and getting the quad tips from the GT 500.
And it actually looked really, really good.
And it's that much better if you're doing it
to a car a little baby pea shooter tips.
Pea shooters.
Now that we've got some arrow bits.
You got the complete wheel tire suspension treatment
and you're all tinted up.
And now you got your lips did.
And now what, then what, what do you do?
Well, this is where it starts to get a little dicey,
if you know what I mean?
Underglow would be my MPV Go-to,
because it's such cheap font.
Our black label lighting undergo clips are stealthy as hell.
They're easy to install,
they come with a remote and app control,
and since they're just led strips they're reliable as hell.
And staying on lighting subject,
aftermarket headlights and taillights are an awesome way to
both make your car look better, look more modern.
And if you're going from a reflector housing to a projector
with a nice light source, your driving experience
is going to get way more fun at night.
Now I know there's probably a ton more
that you think I missed.
In fact, go down to the comments right now and
let me know what cosmetic mods come to mind for you first.
These are the first ones that I try to cross off
my list when I'm building a car.
And if you guys want to see part two,

wheels, tires, and suspension, and underglow.
