Car upgrading has reached another level where it is difficult to distinguish between an upgraded/facelifted vehicle and a brand-new one.
With the rising prices of cars these days, upgrading your current vehicle is an easy way to save money. Vehicle upgrading, also known as “Vehicle upgrade,” involves changing some of the car’s body parts and interior components. Upgrading a vehicle can even include changing the infotainment system and steering wheel. It’s a cost-effective way to enjoy a new car experience without purchasing a brand-new one.
Anifowoshe Muhammed, popularly known as Mohammed Lexus, specializes in upgrading vehicles. He notes that upgrading a 2008 Lexus ES350 to a 2023 model doesn’t require cutting the fenders or changing the hood. The process starts with changing the bumper and rail light. The video he created shows the accessories needed for the upgrade. Upon completion, the colour of the new 2023 Lexus ES 350 was changed to Nano Grey.
Upgrading a car is not just about its physical appearance; virtually any part of the car can be adjusted or upgraded, such as the engine, suspension, upholstery, tyres, grille, headlights, taillights, steering, dashboard, and more.
