r/carmodification

My sister and I have an inside joke that all bad drivers are lizards. I’m not sure if this is a modification but it’s in my car and I put it there. When you see a bad driver they are actually just a lizard who was turned into a person right that morning by an evil witch. She gave them cars and they’re very frightened.

It sounds like the lizard from that Hoppers beaver movie

I have a 2017 hemi ram. Looking to do my first fab project. My idea is having a straight loud pipe to the rear tips, and a valve early on to have a quiet section that dumps under the truck. I have no experience welding, but I’ve ordered a flux core / mig welder that will be here soon. I plan to practice a ton before touching anything. My existing exhaust has a muffler and 2 resonators after it splits towards the rear. I plan to delete the muffler so it flows straight through to the resonators and exit when the valve is open. From the branched Y section, I’d like to have it quiet or mostly quiet for morning cold starts (I wake up at 4am and don’t want to be a bother). I understand I’ll have to freestyle the hanging / mounting but I’m not too concerned as I’ve seen some frame pieces that I can support the muffled section with. Is this possible for a first time welder?? I’m super optimistic I can do it without taking it to a shop. But I’m hoping to get some more experienced eyes on my idea. I think I’ve considered mostly everything, but someone tell me my concept isn’t impossible. Sorry the drawing isn’t to scale 😂 it’s a bit of a rough draft. Please and thanks for the help!!!

Just got a bmw 330i 2018 m sport as my first car at 20. Getting window tints tomorrow, but I don’t rlly want the car to look like everyday traffic or sound like it. If anyone has any advice I’d really appreciate it, talked to a few people and some say air bags or coilovers first, others tell me a cold air intake, whatever you guys think let me know.

I also included some of the things that need touch up on the car, if you guys know any fixes or anything let me know too plssss. Thank youu.

Just got my first car, a Volvo 460 from 1996.

I honestly think this car is slept on. The 940 and 850 get a lot of attention, but this car is just as awesome imo. Its feels like their little brother.

I see a lot of potential in it, but it’s definitely gonna need a lot of love. The paint looks like ass, and the windows are scratched up. So first i’m trying to bring it back to looking decent…

But when that’s done i was wondering if anyone has any cool ideas on what to do with it.

And yes, i’m putting some cool rims on it.

Im working on pimpinng my ride, no particular reason, and im currently working on a shifter modification, what you're seeing is me extending the linkage to reduce the amount of movement to shift gears, and ive done this so i can later raise the shifter knob near the steering wheel for more efficient shifting.

Mind the jank, this is only a draft and I will remodel the whole shifter assembly, I came up with this design on the spot and it works great for now, zipties and sheet metal do a good job, so why would you spend hundreds of dolars on a professional set? I never understood the pimping community going all out and spending a bunch for this stuff, ive been watching grind hard plumbing co alot and they inspired me to make my own banging subwoofer (panels are literally falling off the car), this is just a QOL for me, i have long weak arms.

As the title says, a thief stole the car and insurance isn’t helpful so I’ll be repairing it myself as it’s the last thing I have from my late father and it will take some time to repair. I bought a Smart Forfour as a small city car in the mean time but the vibes are off so I’m trying to mod it as well make a little Smartarati. So there’s the damage to the Maserati, gonna be around 20K in repairs, I’m managing it I’ve also made a little TikTok account to post about the repairs while it’s going on hahaha not self promoting hopefully as I am not sharing any links to the account, so there’s the smart car came with black seats I found some red leather seats and door cards and I’ve swapped them out to resemble the Maserati Also done a black Alcantara headliner to resemble the Maserati. Open to suggestions I’ll be doing the dashboard as well exterior mods to come as well

I've been having fun mocking up this Accord. I REALLY love the look of these Audi 19" 10 spokes. I dig the darker matte/non-chrome finish too. Any recommendations for something similar that would fit a Honda? Open to all suggestions!

Bolt: 5x114.3
Diameter: 19"- 20"
Width: 8.5" - 9"
Offset: ~ +50mm
Hub: 64.1 mm

So I got the f250 a while back for the beginning of a handyman/hauling side gig and have been working on updating worn parts and making soemthing unique. But before I start going crazy with cosmetic stuff I wanna poke around and see what are some things that'd be useful so I could incorporate them into it
