Customizing Cars Research Paper

Customizing cars is a hobby of mine that I have learned much about. There are many things to learn when it comes to cars. You can work on the suspension, exterior, interior, or even the system. The products you can buy are endless. That does not even include what you can do yourself custom done. It costs money, but in end, you can turn heads. Suspension is a major modification. This will cost you anywhere from $400-$1,500 depending on the quality, and how low you want it. Many vehicles sit higher in the back. When you lower it, you will want to even it out.

You can also fiberglass your interior. This is a very tough job and should be left up to the people who know what there doing. What you do is basically take off your whole dash and mold it to the way you want it to look. You mold it around your CD player and some even make a slot so that they can put stuff in there. Many also custom paint this. For all of the different neons and other accessories requiring a switch, you can put them anywhere. You can drill holes in your dash, or in the
