We all want to stand out from the crowd, and it is no different when it comes to our car. Many of us don\u2019t mind splurging a bit to make our car look unique and distinctly ours.<\/p>\n

True car enthusiasts don\u2019t mind shelling out thousands of dollars to make Transformer-like modifications to their rides.<\/p>\n

You may have seen some of these modifications \u2014 from undercarriage lighting that makes your car look like something straight out of a sci-fi movie, to an exhaust system that sounds and feels like a jet plane taking off! Those who modify their engine to increase the power output often employ performance-enhancing turbocharger kits. These enhancers may be legal in some countries but Singapore\u2019s Land Transport Authority (LTA) will have something to say about this \u2014 make sure you abide by its guidelines when doing any modification to your car.<\/p>\n

Adding value to your vehicle<\/strong><\/p>\n

Mod jobs help personalise cars, adding to our feel-good factor when we take the\u00a0car for a spin. But can they add value to our ride? Here are some ideas that may help you strut your ride in style while helping it stand out when it\u2019s time for resale.<\/p>\n

Tyres\u00a0<\/strong>& Rims\u00a0<\/strong>These are an important part of a car, and high-performance tyres are an easy upgrade. Not only do they make your car look good, it can also give you more grip and better road holding to make your drive more fun. While you\u2019re at it, how about some nice alloy rims to go with those tyres? They look striking, are much lighter and more durable, minimising wear and tear while adding a bit of style and performance. These are sure-fire ways to add some vroom-vroom to your car!<\/p>\n

Body Colour\u00a0<\/strong>A custom paint job or a full body wrap service in your favourite colour can certainly make your car stand out. With many workshops here offering specialised paint services, you are spoilt for choice when it comes to making your ride truly unique. Do your homework to ensure these workshops are LTA-approved and can do a competent job \u2014 nobody wants to see air bubbles trapped under a car wrap!<\/p>\n

Interiors\u00a0<\/strong>A beautiful interior can add value to your car. This runs the gamut from sleek in-car entertainment to nice leather upholstery for your seats and new matching floor mats. You could even opt for personalised touches, such as embossing details, but do note that going overboard with customisation may backfire on you when it comes time for resale!<\/p>\n

Boot\u00a0<\/strong>One of the areas we tend to overlook is the boot, which deserves some loving, too! Boot rubber liners are great because they not only provide added protection to the boot surface, they also keep unwanted stains and dirt off. These liners are easy to clean and look stylish at the same time.<\/p>\n
