Bad car modifications can reduce the value of your car. Don’t waste your time with them. A good aftermarket car mod that makes your car run faster will surely make you happier, right? There are many ways to improve your car’s performance, but bad car modifications always spell disaster. A badly modified car can reduce its value (if you decide to resell it) and can make driving dangerous. 

To prevent this from happening to your car, we share with you 6 bad car mods to avoid as they will never improve your car’s performance. Yes, but if you choose the wrong one, you will look silly. Stay away from these bad car mods.

Car splattered with racing stripes and decals

The idea that having decals and racing stripes all over your car will make it go faster is ridiculous. Stickers discourage buyers from buying your vehicle only if you intend to resell it. Racing stripes were used to identify racing cars at racing events. Not a car modification idea.

Bigger Rims

Many drivers believe that using bigger car rims and bigger tires will make the car go faster. They think bigger is better. But that’s not all. Imagine what your car would look like if you replaced the tires with bigger ones. Bad car mods like big rims slow the acceleration of the wheels and make you feel uncomfortable while driving.

Cheap Performance Chips

You have to spend more to make your car go faster. The internet is littered with cheap offers and promises to make your car go faster…and novice car enthusiasts will think they can retrofit a Honda Accord for as little as £7,000. Getting a cheap performance chip won’t make your car perform better. It can even damage your car.

Filling old vehicles with premium oil

Synthetic Premium Oil will significantly improve your vehicle’s performance over regular fuel. However, using high-end synthetic oils on the market in older cars has no visible effect. Sure, it keeps the engine parts running smoothly and also reduces friction, but it doesn’t do much to make the car go faster. is suitable.

Large Muffler

Automotive exhaust systems reduce air pollution and make your engine breathe easier. However, installing a large muffler is overkill. Aside from upgrading your car’s systems, a huge muffler makes more noise and annoys people around your car. Do not place a burden on the car’s manual transmission. Large mufflers emit more smoke and can be a nuisance to other road users. Don’t forget to keep reading them.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is upgrading your car necessary?

The resale value of your car and the maintenance costs of keeping an older car running are two major things to consider when it comes to buying a new car or trading in or selling one.

How much would paint my car cost?

The mechanic shop where you want to get it done will determine this. Some offer their services for 10,000 Naira, while others charge 50,000 Naira for quality painting. The price tends to rise nearly constantly. You could get a clear response by giving your mechanic a call.

Conclusion

Now that you are aware of the risks and drawbacks involved, you can stop yourself from upgrading every automobile you purchase. The top risks associated with upgrading your automobile in Nigeria are well known to you now.
