If you do get chicks from just modifying your vehicle by adding clear lenses and chrome bulbs, let us in on the secret. Adding this simple modification is just one minor thing you can do to your vehicle.
If you're new to car modifications, this is something you can do yourself and won't require a lot of "know how" to get this done. All you need is a screwdriver, remove a few screws, take out the old lenses, take out the bulbs, add the new bulbs and add the new lenses.
If you don't know what chrome bulbs are, they're bulbs that are chrome in color. Some people call them mirror bulbs because you can see your own reflection in them. What does this do? It blends the bulb in with the rest of the vehicle. It actually looks as if there is no bulb in the socket.
What is the process behind an electric vehicle conversion project? A lot of car owners are searching for ways to reduce their fuel expense bill. Ever since the prices of gasoline went to a new height, many people are finding it tough to maintain a monthly household budget. One option to reduce the gasoline bill is to convert your car into an electric vehicle. It used to cost thousands of dollars to get your car modified to run on electricity. Nowadays, you can do the electric vehicle conversion at you home garage. How does the process works? This article will share some information on the science of converting your car to use electricity as a power source.
Before you start any conversion project, you have to identify which car to be modified. Any sedan can be converted to run on electricity and the best one are the type which is light weight and has ample storage. For example, an old VW Beetle is perfect to be retrofitted into an electric vehicle. The idea is to replace the internal combustion engine with an electric drive motor. The motor will get the electricity from multiple lead flooded batteries stored in the back of the car. To control the flow of electricity current to the motor, an amp regulator is used. The regulator functions as an accelerator paddle of the car. Finally, the whole system is to be connected to a central circuit board. The circuit board will monitor the motor, the batteries power level and also acts as a cut off switch if there is a power leakage.
There are many approaches you can take to bring your car from average to amazing. Most of the instant improvements should be made to the exterior of your car to get the most effective difference. This will make the biggest initial impact because the exterior is what most people see. The interior of your ride is mostly for your comfort and appeal.
So what can you do to the exterior of your car to make improvements? Well there are many modifications you can make. You could add a body kit to get the most drastic customization. A body kit usually will include replacement bumpers, and new side skirts. Some body kits will also include a spoiler, or even wide fenders for a wide stance. A carbon fiber hood is a common upgrade that will help in reducing the weight of your vehicle and giving it a sleek look. These carbon fiber hoods come in many styles with unique designs. There are many other carbon fiber products that can really accent your cars body. Add a carbon fiber wind splitter, rear diffusers, and side mirrors for performance improvement and nice body accents.
Cars are often considered as extensions of our personality, they're also many people's pride and joy. It's no wonder then that these days there is a growing market for car customisation, from external modifications like shiny alloy wheels to internal luxuries such as aftermarket sound systems. A lot of these luxuries now come as options you can add to the car when purchasing, such as sports kits or integrated satellite navigation.
With 09 registrations on their way you may assume that car insurance for new cars is more expensive than it is for older vehicles. However, that is not always the case.
Research from a comparison website shows that for the UK's second most popular vehicle - the Vauxhall Corsa - a 35-year-old male would actually pay 20 per cent less for a car insurance policy on a 2008 model than he would for a 1999 model. So those put off the idea of buying a new car because they believe that car insurance costs will be exorbitant have reason to think again.
The reality is that older cars are generally cheaper to insure than newer cars - but this is not always the case. The reason used cars are normally cheaper is because they are less desirable to thieves and are less likely to be driven at high speeds. However, this research shows that newer cars do not have to be more expensive to insure and the emphasis is on drivers to make sure they get the best car insurance deal.
Many are tempted by a year's free car insurance as part of their package to buy a new car. Certainly this is an attractive offer as long as the insurer is offering sufficient levels of cover for your needs. However, those who do take up a free car insurance offer should be careful to shop around in a year's time when the policy is up for renewal because chances are the new premium you receive will not be competitive.
Auto repairs are a natural part of owning a car. Even when a car is still "new", it can encounter problems that send it to the repair shop, which should be covered by the manufacturer if the car is still under warranty. But how many repairs are too many for a new car? According to the lemon law in most states, lemon law for new cars says that if a car is repaired for the same problem a certain number of times within a certain time frame or within a certain number of miles after its delivery date, it qualifies as a lemon car.
For example, New Jersey lemon law for new cars states that a car qualifies as a lemon if it had been repaired for the same problem three or more times within 18,000 miles of its delivery date or has spent more than 20 days being repaired since its delivery date. Although some states have lemon laws that govern used cars, a "new lemon car" is generally defined as a car that is still under warranty.
While the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act establishes federal lemon laws, state lemon laws vary by state. The general differences between state lemon laws usually amount to a difference in the number of repairs that a new vehicle must undergo since its delivery date or the amount of time it must spend in the repair shop since its delivery date to qualify as a legal lemon. Yet, regardless of the criteria for establishing a car as a lemon, lemon car owners can expect to receive the same compensation options in each case: a full refund of the vehicle's purchase price, less a mileage based allowance, or a problem-free replacement vehicle of similar price and performance.
People who drive gasoline powered vehicles may be able to get better gas mileage soon. Ford Motor Company and University of Eindhoven student John Kessels have invented a Car Modification Software patch that they believe will allow people to get better gas mileage.
John Kessels has been working with Ford on a project to make gasoline powered vehicles more appealing to consumers. They figure that the gasoline patch could help solve the problems many consumers have with spending so much money on gas for their car while the economy remains stagnant.
The Car Modification Software patch will send a message to the vehicle that will allow it to use the minimal amount of gasoline required for the engine to operate. The patch would improve engine performances in your car and save an owner "up to 2.6 percent" in terms of miles per gallon. While this may seem like a tiny fraction, over the course of a year or five years the fuel savings could add up substantially.
The process is actually pretty simple. What the Car Modification Software patch will provide you is the ability to switch the dynamo, the device which charges your car battery, on and off when it is inefficient for the engine to power it.
