Not I!! I had a 1977 bmw 530 E12 4speed manual. Mechanically great and not bad in the body. I never took the key out of the ignition either. To old for Bushwick thieves.
Here in East Boston, Chelsea, you leave your car unlocked 15 minutes you definitely will get all inside it stolen or even the whole car 😬 so lock your cars people 🥴
Little money, lots of time? May I propose... DIY: Turbo -- Leaf Blowers Exhaust -- PVC Pipes Steering Wheel-- A Fucking Plate Shifter Knob-- Pool Ball Bucket Seats-- Literal Buckets Wings and Aero Mods-- Plywood with Paint Wheels-- Junkyard Barrel Hub Caps If you can't buy em, make em.
The only thing I've found helpful on ebay for my Mini Cooper is a black honeycomb grill. I think grills are generally pretty safe to buy most places, ebay or OEM.
Highly recommend ktuner for any Honda/Acura people out there. Even if you have no mods, its still good to have. The ktuner v2 has a touch screen with indicators and plugs right into the obd2 port.
You guys deserve more subs. Since buying and importing a ford focus rs and turning it into a rally car, you helped me avoid some mistakes that would have cost thousands.
A mod I did on my car are tow rings and tow hooks, but I dont just buy generic ones on wish or amazon, I research around for quality ones that serve a function over aesthetics. It's just a convenience to have them on the car or truck ready to go vs having to get out, search around the trunk, move a bunch of stuff around, removing the carpet panel. especially in sub freezing temperatures.
Route it to one of the cutouts in your bumper if you got any, I had to do just a little bit of cutting on my battery tray and I was able to route my air filter straight to the bumper... just avoid deep puddles.
You guys make a lot (if not most of your content) for people who seem to not know anything about cars and who think the circle block fits in the triangle. I’m surprised you haven’t made “Do chrome door handles make your car horn louder?” yet.
Most pointless mod is anything in the “Accessories” section at Autozone and Pep Boys. Those GTR stickers, stick on fender vents, and glow in the dark LED exhaust tips are really sweet dawg. 🙄🤮
Aging myself here, but there used to be something called the JC Whitney catalog. You could find the parts you needed, but you had to sift through pages of bolt on scoops (before 3M tape was a thing). Pretty much the same thing, but you actually had to want it enough to mail order the parts instead of impulse buying when you are picking up a new set of wipers.
Everyone always saying they made it already. That’s a perfect example of why this needs to be made! People don’t even know it exists! When people ask “what year is that Porsche?” And I tell them it’s a Nissan they look at me perplexed
Put a pod filter on my Magna purely to make it louder, I knew I shouldn’t do it, I knew it’d be bad for the car, but I did it anyway. It drove so much better when I put the stock air box back in before selling it
So made the decision to get raceland coilovers for my nb1 and I don't understand why they get so much hate they aint that bad for my daily use it was bumpy for about a month cause brand new shocks but after that she rides smooth. And honestly I'm just pumped I ain't looking at wheel gap anymore🥵
Made my own heat shielding for my intake cuz it had none when I got it and got my iat temp 7° within outside air temp even at drive thu no more then 10° difference
“I hate those “Don’t do **blank** videos before watching this”” IF I REMEMBER CORRECTLY Y’ALL HAVE A VIDEO TITLED “Don’t buy wheels and tires BEFORE watching this” 0.0 EDIT: (No hate just found that funny haha)
Maybe it’s because I live in NY where our roads are more synonymous with Swiss cheese than actual roads, but IMO the most pointless mod is ridiculous stance. I’m not knocking it for the people that do like it, but if you live in an area where potholes are like those instadeath quicksand pits from Super Mario 64 that kill you when you touch them, there’s no point in lowering your car to where your midpipe is only a hair’s width away from scraping pavement and throwing an excessive amount of camber to where your wheels resemble a crashed car in GTA that’s somehow still drivable.
I really hate when people have rocks glued to their dashboard or make some kind of nature scene in their car. Tacky as hell. Also when people “install” hood scoops but don’t cut the hood. Or have the fake fender side vent scoops 🤮
eBay headlights and taillights generally aren’t terrible and they’re cheap. It’s one of the easiest ways to change the look of your car on a budget IMO. Just read reviews before buying cus I’ve received some junky shit cus I didn’t read
I bought all quality brand name stuff, but I bought it heavily used, rusty coilovers, bent wheels with tires from 2003, guess what its all junk now after 2 years and car is back to stock and more reliable than ever, coilovers started leaking, tires I threw away, wheels need as much as I paid for them to get them right, its just not worth it, it would have been cheaper in the long run to buy all brand new stuff and maybe then I'd still have a cool looking car to this day rather than going back to boring old shitbox status
Hey guys I'm enjoying the channel and I had a question about what could potentially be a pointless modification. What are your thoughts on throttle body spacers and intake manifold spacers? In your opinion do they do anything and are they worthwhile? Thanks guys!
Eyy eBay stuff CAN be decent. You just need to be incredibly choosy about it. Most of it is trash. Most of what isn't trash needs some love before it can rightfully go on your car. I get asked about my rear "diffuser" relatively often. It's an eBay part, but then I took the time to sand it, paint it properly, etc. Just slapping it on the car as cheap plastic would have looked garish. Same with lighting. I find eBay replacements for things like side markers and fog lights tend to look quite good if you get the right ones. Just ask yourself if the item you're considering would keep things classy, and if not, don't buy.
Have you ever bought a car mod that was a mistake?
⭐With your support you can WIN A FULL BUILD!

I know uploading this video yesterday must have been a mistake ;)
Already saw this one yesterday before it was removed lol
Who was in charge of the double upload lol
@@bradepolanco1797 probably was done through the automatic upload feature
Swift Sport springs for my G37, bought Fortune coilovers a week later. Dont buy springs.
Came to learn what not to do to a car, wound up learning how to shovel snow. 10/10, would watch again.
LETS GOOOO!! 😂🤘
Me in Texas... ahh that’s how you do it
Me in Australia what’s this snow 😂🤣
Me in mass. Yup i knew that, about 10 years ago🤣
That’s serious. Poor shoveling technique can mess up your back for a long time.
i feel like i shouldnt have to say this.... but gorrilla glue is not a mod!
How about JB Weld? lol
@@tylerleitzke thats a performance mod
Yeah, everyone knows Gorilla glue is for hair!
Zip ties are definitely a performance mod
What about that Harbor Freight Pittsburgh socket that got stuck on my spark plug? is that a performance mod?
Not locking your car during the winter is the best WI hack I can think of honestly
What about a series on the best/most reliable mods for certain cars? An episode apiece for Subaru, VW, BMW, Mazda, etc. I'd watch that.
Me too
Everybody else is cool don’t get me wrong but Alex is tha best 🤜🏼
Yea easily
Who locks their car...
Everyone in New York man! Lol
Facts! I was about to say this.
Not I!!
I had a 1977 bmw 530 E12 4speed manual. Mechanically great and not bad in the body. I never took the key out of the ignition either. To old for Bushwick thieves.
Real OGs know this was uploaded yesterday
Yep
Yessir
Yeah clicked on it and it was PRIVATE!!!
I thought I was going crazy 😂😂😂
They did some editing they removed the list from ebay
If there’s anything I’ve learned having a beater, it’s always carry zip ties and a rol of duct tape
Things to do: Buy new car with extended warranty, void warranty with access port.
😉
Why I didn't buy a Cobb AP for my STi.
Or be me, drive it til your warranty expires THEN buy an access port.
Please do “so you want an IS350”
Great cars! Actually miss my 07 IS350
where the hell do you live where you don’t lock your car???
Here in East Boston, Chelsea, you leave your car unlocked 15 minutes you definitely will get all inside it stolen or even the whole car 😬 so lock your cars people 🥴
Didnt know what to comment. Sooo 2nd time posting I own a 2001 Honda prelude. H22a4
Wow!
Me too
I'm a little jealous.
Little money, lots of time?
May I propose... DIY:
Turbo -- Leaf Blowers
Exhaust -- PVC Pipes
Steering Wheel-- A Fucking Plate
Shifter Knob-- Pool Ball
Bucket Seats-- Literal Buckets
Wings and Aero Mods-- Plywood with Paint
Wheels-- Junkyard Barrel Hub Caps
If you can't buy em, make em.
All you need to make a car look better; a good set of wheels, high quality coilovers, good tires and a nice exhaust if you want sound
Day 18 of asking for a “So You Want A Cobalt SS OR Mazdaspeed 6”
Ok then where do I get mods for my 2005 Honda CR-V
Look for mods for whatever engine it has specifically I guess
Bruh I have a g37 sedan most people do my car full custom because no one makes shit for it
Pointless mods: rear seat removal, muffler delete but leaving the same sized pipe.
The "German Master" does not approve of the making of this video 🤣
The only thing I've found helpful on ebay for my Mini Cooper is a black honeycomb grill. I think grills are generally pretty safe to buy most places, ebay or OEM.
The absolute number 1 car upgrade you shoud always do first is buy some top quality tyres

Damn, I had to stop the video to go listen to careless whisper
My open air intake probably hurts my car's performance but at least I can hear the spooly
boi go wooooosh
Y’all should make some “So you want a” episodes for the other Mustang generations 😏
yes and also the lexus is250/350
Cars already have fuel filters, children. If you dont know that, then you need to find yours and change it.
I remember putting a cheap pod filter on my v8 . It sucked the guts out of the filter, the engine munched it and farted it out the other end
A mod I did on my car are tow rings and tow hooks, but I dont just buy generic ones on wish or amazon, I research around for quality ones that serve a function over aesthetics.

The air box sex scene killed me 😂😂😂
Stretched tires is the dumbest thing you could do to a car
Not getting rid of my hot air intake.
Love the TSSSUUUU TSSSUUU TSSSSSUUUUUUUUUU to much :D
Route it to one of the cutouts in your bumper if you got any, I had to do just a little bit of cutting on my battery tray and I was able to route my air filter straight to the bumper... just avoid deep puddles.
when he said who locks their cars, i had to go check on my honda, it doesnt do much but it helps

I hate when people pull out their black spray can and go ham on their taillights/headlights as if you now have made yourself a race car
Made my own heat shielding for my intake cuz it had none when I got it and got my iat temp 7° within outside air temp even at drive thu no more then 10° difference
Lol, not locking your car doors is definitely a thing in WI.
I see all of you writing the most pointless mods....
Lest we forget the NA Honda Civic with an oil cooler drilled into the front bumper.

You had me dead at the breaking clips off one by one from the air box lol
Oh yeah, heat soak will make your car pull ALL the timing adv out lol.
Clip and screw upgrades
Hands down the most dumbass mod is buying a universal body kit. Just cuz it's cheaper than finding one meant for your specific car.
From Muhwaukee, we always lock our cars
The Lancer I just traded didn’t lock. No key fob and the only keyhole on the car fell off, lol.

Alex is so mad like someone kicked a box of kittens
Whatever you do, dont shovel snow and throw it on your neighbors property
Facts. 😂
when you mod your car.
dont forget to add oil to your engine
when you work on your car use jackstands.
Ah ha ha ha , so those performance chips, I confess I was thinking of buying one, soooo thanks for the tip. 😖
Just bought a 2021 VW Jetta and found an APC cold air intake with the heat shield and a filter sock. That should fix the issues mentioned.
This episode of what mods to get for any car that you value: install hidden kill switch for people who think they can steal any car😁
Y’all should do a video on c/k 1500 Chevy trucks (preferably 1989-1998) plzzzzzz
Your video editor needs a raise
air filter + nerd core = more hp!
