Upgrading your vehicle’s appearance can range from a simple five minute job to an extensive overhaul of your vehicle’s entire exterior section. Really, the solutions to decreased aesthetic appeal are based entirely on the current condition of the car you own. A ding in a vehicle’s front hood may be annoying but it certainly doesn’t attract a lot of attention. Scraped side paint, missing rims, and a dented front grille, on the other hand, are certainly a lot more noticeable and will require significantly more time and attention to repair. Below, we’ll provide you with appearance upgrade suggestions for your vehicle’s exterior that range across the spectrum from simple to complex, so no matter how big or small your car’s appearance problem is, you should be able to find out how to fix up your car.
If you want your car to stand out and have a meaner, race-ready look while still seeming streamlined, consider the following upgrade suggestions. Start by lowering your car closer to the road surface. Using lowering springs, you can adjust your car’s over-road height by several inches, and while it will make your car look more like a racecar than before, you will have to be more careful handling the car (particularly over rough patches of roadway). Springs absorb impact from hitting bumps and unevenness on the road, so only complete this upgrade if you’re sure you can align everything correctly, otherwise you’ll be in for an especially rough ride later on. If you want to adjust the height ever, skip out on the lowering springs and choose coilovers, which are custom-adjustable. Pair these new springs or coilovers with a fierce rear spoiler for an exterior car appearance no one will want to mess with.
If your car’s exterior problems are more damage-oriented, however, your time will best be spent doing repair work and upgrades to compensate for exterior damage. Old, dull rims and front grilles are easy to replace and should be. After all, when they’re shiny and glossy, they can be serious visual focal points and draw positive attention toward your car. Similarly, the condition of your car’s hood is important simply because it is such a large exterior body piece. Scraped up paint and dents in the hood can really be eyesores, but you can easily replace the hood with a lightweight and sleek fiberglass or carbon fiber alternative. And if all else fails, you can always give your car a new paintjob. A new coat of paint never hurt, and it can distract from other aesthetic issues if you’re unable to repair some of the exterior damage for any reason.
Don’t forget: lighting affects your car’s appearance too, particularly at night. If your car’s headlight and/or tail light bulbs are busted, either replace them to restore the car’s original appearance, or upgrade to HIDs for headlights and LEDs for tail lights for ultramodern looks that will certainly draw positive attention your car’s way.
