Customizing the inside and outside of a vehicle makes the car unique and personal. You can choose add-ons for a car to make your car stand out from the crowd with style.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

1. Decide what kind of style you want to go with on your car. There are many different options in aftermarket parts, such as body kits to make your car look totally different and lower to the ground. You may, instead, opt for a less a drastic change and choose things like a stock-looking spoiler.
2. Look for parts that will benefit your car. Parts like aftermarket rims and tires will make your car look better and handle better.
3. Make a list of the parts that you would like to add on to your car. You will need to know if the parts are available for your make and model. Things like window tint can be for any model car and is widely available.
4. Find an automotive shop in your area that installs aftermarket parts. Talk to them about what you want to do to your car and find out if they can install your parts.
5. Ask if the shop has parts that you can buy for your car. This may save you money by not having to pay for shipping as you would if you order from the Internet or out of a magazine.

Tips & Warnings

• You can install some parts on your own, saving you money. When buying parts read descriptions or ask the sales person if the part can be installed easily at home.
• You biggest problem with choosing add-ons for your car may be which parts you like the most. Things like neon light kits give off a glow under your car in whatever color you choose. Graphic kits can be bought already cut and made for you to apply on your car. Add-ons like these will make the car stand out more than just a plain paint job.
• Never buy aftermarket parts for the wrong style of car hoping they can be modified to fit on your car. You will end up losing money and time this way.
