"If you don't modify the Civic, it's like buying it in vain." This sentence has become a "truth" in the automotive industry, and vehicle modification has also become a favorite among performance enthusiasts.

Since the "Implementation Plan for Improving and Promoting Consumption Systems and Mechanisms (2018-2020)" was officially released in October 2018, domestic automobile consumption has continued to be optimized and upgraded, and related industries such as automobile events, tourism, culture, and modification have With active development, the potential of the automobile aftermarket has also been deeply explored, and Chinese people are increasingly interested in modified cars.

However, due to its late start and little experience, it was inevitable to modify a "thunder car" that would surprise people. So what mature modification experience abroad can we learn from?

Japan Chapter

On January 10, 2020, the Tokyo Tuning Show, one of the world's three major tuning shows, officially opened, fully demonstrating the tuning capabilities of Japanese automobile manufacturers.

Japan is a big car country, and it also has a special department to manage modified cars. Although car modifications are allowed, some regulations will be introduced, such as limiting the body size, length, and height of modified cars, and targeting modifications. Parts and modified vehicles have detailed and strict testing standards.

The recently unveiled Toyota YARiS?GR kit version uses a large number of aerodynamic kits, and the front of the headlight group is painted in all black, creating a more sporty visual effect that is directly connected to the center grille.

The new car is also equipped with a more radical front lip, with a red trim strip on the lower part. It is equipped with exaggerated side skirts and rear skirts, and maintains the same red style as the front lip. The checkered flag painting on the lower part of the door is quite personalized, and it is equipped with new GR-style wheels.

The unveiled Nissan Skyline 400R Sprint Concept adopts a sporty appearance design. The new car reflects its sporty style by adding additional exterior aerodynamic kits and body paint.

The addition of many aerodynamic kits is also a highlight of the new car. The air deflectors on both sides of the front bumper, wide front lip, side skirts and rear spoiler highlight the combat style. The combination of white, black and green colors makes the whole vehicle very fashionable.

The Nissan Skyline Deluxe Advanced Concept focuses on highlighting luxury. The new car adopts a two-color body design, and the connecting lines of the two colors are curved at the rear door. In addition, the new car uses larger multi-spoke wheels, and more luxurious features are added to the interior.

In addition, the Mitsubishi D:5 Delica by Terry Ito customized by Japanese director Teruo Ito is also very eye-catching. The appearance of the new car adopts a retro style, and the body and wheels are mainly light green. In addition, the appearance of the new car adopts a more simplified design, including the headlights, front bumper and grille.

It is worth mentioning that the large round headlights on both sides of the new car are particularly eye-catching. Compared with the original vertical LED headlights, this design makes the front face more retro-looking.

Through the Tokyo Modification Show, the solid efforts of Japanese car companies in modification can be seen.

Europe and America

Car modification is nothing new in Europe and the United States. The private car modification rate in some developed countries has even reached 80%.

Mercedes-AMG? S63? Coupe has always been regarded by the outside world as a two-door coupe with both civil and military capabilities. German tuning house Fostla has upgraded it.

In terms of appearance, the vehicle uses an eye-catching chrome orange matte paint. In terms of power, the original 5.5-liter V8 twin-turbo engine is installed with the PP-Performance performance upgrade kit, and the power output is increased to 730 horsepower. It is an all-round work that combines performance and appearance.

The American tuning factory Zero?to?60?Design added elements of the Ford GT supercar to the Mustang to create the Ford?Mustang?GTT.

The power output of the vehicle exceeds 800 horsepower, and it can accelerate from 100 kilometers to 100 kilometers in 3.6 seconds. If you step on the accelerator, flames will spurt out.

In addition, the ProCharger supercharger will be accompanied by different sound effects when opening and closing the throttle, making the driving experience unique.

Not long ago, Tesla inadvertently became a bridge between European and American car modifications.

Before Musk officially released the pickup truck, Swedish girl Simone Giertz was already eager for the Tesla pickup truck, so she decided to DIY one herself.

She named this modified pickup truck "Truckla". Giertz first spent $35,000 to buy a Tesla Model 3. Over the next few months, she and her team began to dismantle the new car, such as seats, decorations, etc.

Then they cut away the rear of the trunk and roof, blurring the line between sedan and pickup and clearing out plenty of space.

Next, Giertz’s team installed a pickup bed, making the pickup truck converted from Model 3 very beautiful and practical. Subsequently, Giertz also added standard truck waterproofing and body equipment to Truckla.

But when Tesla’s electric pickup truck Cybertruck was unveiled, I felt that Truckla looked like a decent Tesla product.

China's car modification market is moving towards higher pursuits. More and more people are engaged in car modification work. Government guidance and regulation and active market layout are the key to the rise of domestic car modification culture. .
