Whenever there is talk of modifications, all anyone can talk about are the bold, flashy mods like race-car graphics, new alloys, sunroofs and wallet-busting projector headlamps. Spare a thought for the more sedate enthusiast who likes the car as it rolled off the assembly line, but wants to add some nips and tucks here and there to improve its convenience features or drivability.
I’d like to make this thread a compilation of suggestions for all modifications which fit this criteria, and gladly welcome suggestions.
Here’s the list (from my own imagination):
I would love to add to this list, based on suggestions from you guys. Hopefully, we can turn this thread into a useful, unique resource. Please chime in.
I’d like to make this thread a compilation of suggestions for all modifications which fit this criteria, and gladly welcome suggestions.
Here’s the list (from my own imagination):
- Rear view camera: Ideally integrated with the IRVM (internal rear view mirror) or media display, and capable of night vision.
- Front and rear parking sensors: I find parking sensors to be even more essential than the camera, because looking at the camera distracts you from what is in front and on the sides of the vehicle. We usually ignore front parking sensors because they aren’t included by default, but I think they are very helpful. (Admittedly, I have not had them installed yet, but I plan to. Any feedback on this would be welcomed.)
- Auto-closing windows: The car should automatically roll up its windows when you lock it. It’s a basic mod that, I think, should be added to every car. I have it on mine and love it.
- Tire pressure monitor: I’m looking to add an aftermarket tire pressure monitor that shows the pressure somewhere inside the cabin, neatly integrated. I welcome suggestions.
- Suspension buffers: I bought a set of four rubber suspension buffers from a guy in Mumbai (let me know if anyone wants details) that slot into one of the coils of the suspension spring and reduces its compression, thus resulting in a stiffer, more controlled driving experience. It is a must for cars with very soft suspension setups, like my Hyundai Fluidic Verna 2012.
