@@iamkneeoh4031 that depends on what you can find in your area, ya know? Honestly, and I know this might sound like the bullshit answer, but just go for whatever is cheap. If you have the facilities to fix up cosmetic issues, such as rust/dents and stuff, you might go for something a little bit worse for wear just cause it’s cheaper.

Just bought my first car 5 month ago and it’s a 2010 Hyundai Genesis 3.8 and I will say it has been the the best 5 month I could have asked for. The Community behind this car is one of the best I’ve seen and you can do so much with the cars and I just got some new wheels and tires from your guys!!

@@Nazo_Sil80 there are some small differences, but there is support to build ralliarts. The snyds on youtube is building his ralliart (among others) and hes shooti g for 500hp. So evo parts themselves may not swap, but there plenty of support to do mods
Yes the ST made it! 2017, 84k miles, original owner... Love it! If you get out of your car and don't look back at it as you walk away... That wasn't the car for you 😁
Purchased my first car at 17 and it is a 03 350z. In the first year of owning it is an amazing car . I haven't modded it or doing something stupid like stancing it other than repainting it and modifying a 370z wing to fit it. I am planning to make it into a v12 rear engine swap 350z. Yes I am that stupid.
just jumped into performance cars with a 93 corvette! super fun, 300hp, pop up headlights, reliable chevy v8. cheap and fairly chill to maintain. premium gas hurts but all things considered it gets good gas mileage. C4s are worth a consideration when looking for a first car to start modifying.

Yes they can be found for less than 20k but when you’re young it’s a very unrealistic expectation. With even a hella good down payment you’d expect the monthly payments somewhere over ~$450-700( you’re young probably under 25 insurance gonna kill you) so now I want to mod my car but I’m going to school and working just to barley be able to afford the payments on the car… see what I mean not very realistic unless you are given everything to you by ur parents.

At 15 in 2010 my first car was a 1972 chevy nova, i loved that thing but it escaped my hands:( since then ive tried to fill the void and ive had a 2004 VW passat, 96 Mazda B3700, 90 BMW E30, 99 Honda civic ex, 03 Subaru impreza, 89 BMW E30, 2004 Infinity G35, 91 lexus LS400, 90 Acura Integra, 95 Lexus LS400, 15 Hyundai Genesis, 08 Porche Cayman S, 16 Chrysler 300S, 11 Mercedes C300, 99 GMC Yukon, 99 Lexus GS400, 91 Lexus LS400, 2004 Landrover RR, 03 GMC Yukon Denali, 96 Acura TL, and currently have a 13 Base Mustang....i want my nova back
My first car was a 1980 cutlass ugh didn't choose it. First car i chose was an EF civic hatch. Best first car now that's good for modifications I would say mazdaspeed 3. They haven't quite got to the inflation levels of the 350/370z, civic si's or s chassis stuff.
Have a white 2018 Accord Touring with 235/40R19 and have been thinking of getting a set of Aodhan DSO2s in bronze with a white lip wrapped in 245/45R18 rubber. But I don’t know what back spacing I should go with. Stock suspension and brakes for now.
I'm looking to get into the car scene and I just want a general opinion on whether I should set my eyes on the 11-14 S197's or the s550's of this decade. Only reason I'm going with a mustang is simply cuz I want a muscle car rather than a tuner
I’d Definitely the 11-14 s197s in my opinion. Just beware of the manual transmissions.. they like to come out of the car when worked hard but the modern s550s look great too

@@FitmentIndustries wheels and suspension purchased from you guys of course. some interior. Mostly mechanical and keeping it running. The 2 owners before me did a great job keeping it rust free but a pretty bad job keeping the maintenance done.

@@FitmentIndustries I've had my eyes set on a 350z since I was a kid. My dad had a job at at a car dealership for a whole 2 months and we got to test drive a Z when he brought me to work one time. Been a dream car ever since!
my ef civic is ~31 years old and the chassis is fine. the age really doesnt matter, what matters is if its in good condition so try to convince them and have the seller let you inspect or take it to a mechanic to inspect before purchasing. i will say this, anything earlier that 2000 will usually require suspension tuning up. age really only hits anything made from rubber (ball joints, bushings, etc). im assuming its at least a 2002 so you should be fine. i got em1 and the rubber bits are still holding up so 20 years isnt that concerning.
Why dont you make a video on Toyota Mr2 mk1... Not many video's worth talking about on YT about this car. BUT it will give u 1000's likes.. fb is filled with forums about theese cars
How'd a junkstang get on the list when the Camaros LS is a far easier and more common engine to dwell with even the price point beats the competition. Same can be said about the Ecotec that rivals the LS on reliability, affordability and aftermarket support

My first car was a 96 Acura Integra GSR at 16🥲 i still have it, its just a never ending project. I was doing body work to it back in high school 2020 and i never got to finish it bc of covid. I also blew the motor twice bc i was a dumb high schooler and didnt know any better LOL I used to drive a 97 civic hatch and i really learned how to work on cars bc of it. I crashed it, fixed it, then lost motivation to even work on it/drive it so i sold it and got an 06 RSX Type S and its so much better in every way. I highly recommend a Type S if anyone is looking for a car
If the GTI is the poor man's Golf R, than I drive a poor man's GTI. MK1 Tiguan. Same motor, no enthusiast tax, and my parents like it. In exchange for a fuck ton of body roll of course, but nothing coils can't fix

This will make you become a really smart car customiser when you get to your next car, you wont make as many mistakes and the build will be dope and any headaches you have "Whatever my first car was a dorrito with shotty seals, this will be easy and FUN...HARD BEFORE EASY. WHY HAVE WE CHANGED THIS IDEA. FITMENT. ALL THE DOPE CAR GUYS, YOURSELF INCLUDED DID IT THE CRAZY THEN ....THEN SMOOTH. WHY ARE YOU SELLING THE OPPOSITE OF WHAT MADE YOU GUYS SO GOOD. MAKE COMPETITION DONT ERASE IT.

You forgot about the single turbo or twin turbo 350z boys 650+hp
I just going to buy an rx-8 05r next week that is modified in a cool way.
5:17 you brought up the focus st, hope the speed 3 is mentioned too.....we'll see
Please do So You Want To Lift Your WRX!
I wanted to go Genesis coupe when I got my Speed6. Still don’t know if I made the best decision. But it’s been done😂😢😅😢😂
A STARTER CAR? THIS IS A FINISHER CAR! A TRANSPORTER OF GODS! THE GOLDEN GOD!!!
I read this as Golden Rod and i had flashbacks of Pokemon Gold/Silver 😅😅😅 -Edgar
My first car was a 1980 cutlass ugh didn't choose it.
First car i chose was an EF civic hatch.
Best first car now that's good for modifications I would say mazdaspeed 3. They haven't quite got to the inflation levels of the 350/370z, civic si's or s chassis stuff.
Olds cutlass> civics
mine was a forester sti, insanely fun but turbo EJ engines are a little complicated to work on as a first car
YESSS! FSTI are dope! Always wanted to drive one but man.. -Edgar
Have a white 2018 Accord Touring with 235/40R19 and have been thinking of getting a set of Aodhan DSO2s in bronze with a white lip wrapped in 245/45R18 rubber. But I don’t know what back spacing I should go with. Stock suspension and brakes for now.
hey there! Take a look at our gallery to get some good ideas, heres a link! -Edgar

I'm looking to get into the car scene and I just want a general opinion on whether I should set my eyes on the 11-14 S197's or the s550's of this decade. Only reason I'm going with a mustang is simply cuz I want a muscle car rather than a tuner
I’m looking for an ‘07-‘11 because I’m gonna take the 3V out and coyote swap it
I’d Definitely the 11-14 s197s in my opinion. Just beware of the manual transmissions.. they like to come out of the car when worked hard but the modern s550s look great too
@@M_A_R_I_N_E785 just buy an ‘11 to’14 they came with 5.0s
my first car to build/modify is a 1988 MR2. wanted something unique
MR2's are the jam! Whats all done to it so far? If you have it dialed in make sure to add it to the gallery! 💪💪💪 -Edgar

@@FitmentIndustries wheels and suspension purchased from you guys of course. some interior. Mostly mechanical and keeping it running. The 2 owners before me did a great job keeping it rust free but a pretty bad job keeping the maintenance done.
I still love the look of a Hyundai Genesis
The way you talk makes so much sense to me...
Please give us a video on the Mitsubishi Lancer/ Ralliart, we never get mentioned, only our evo brothers 😅
My issue with the vq35 is they have been around long enough to be used and a used and nissan parts are high af. If you can afford the prices for sensors and typical issues... then you can also afford a 5 series bmw
Mazdaspeed 3 is also a great choice
I've had mine for almost 2 years and I love it to death. Nothing else I've driven has compared to it
@@moshikito4717 I absolutely love mine! Such great cars
So you want a spoiler
To eat my tacos on, yes! -Edgar
Chassis mount only!!
@@FitmentIndustries we need a video about wings bro
i did do a rotary😅 😢 and ported that shit and holy crap the most expensive stuff for some ok limited power
Old janky Mazda’s are heaps of fun to learn on
Or old BMW's 👀👀👀 -Edgar
Dude said don't hop right into a rotary 😂bit late I've already jumped in hard and now blown the thing up 😂😂second car, bought at 19 😂
Genesis copue deserve a shout
You should do this same list, but for sedans.
What sedans ya thinking?! -Edgar
@@FitmentIndustries Lexus GS and LS, Jetta, Acura TL.... I'm sure there's more, those are just my picks.
Me with a reg vw jetta watching hearing when you say they not going to be the most reliable ik 😒 remembering i had like 20 codes when i first got it 😆😮💨🙄💩
"a good start is a 350z"
what I bought: 2017 1.8t passat
Hey, still worth it! Its okay. -Edgar
I wish anovia wheels came in more colors. I’m gonna keep harping on it! Lol
Stay tuned! 💪💪💪 -Edgar
Be surprised but the Honda CR-Z has a lot of mods u can do for it to be a hybrid
I'm assuming this is bs ^^
I'm looking forward for 6th gen Celica or Nissan Micra (K11 => from 2000)
I've been waiting for this one! 🚘
What are you going to go with?! 👀👀👀 -Edgar
@@FitmentIndustries I've had my eyes set on a 350z since I was a kid.
My dad had a job at at a car dealership for a whole 2 months and we got to test drive a Z when he brought me to work one time. Been a dream car ever since!
Was hoping to see the Volvo c30 t5 in this video, it is literally just a cheap Ford focus rs
Will you make a 4 bolt wheel?
I mean hey. Stay tuned 👀 stay updated with Anovia! -Edgar
honorable mention almost any old car because mods are so easy to do then
Have an 08 chrysler sebring any ideas of what type of mods maybe
You should make a video on the focus RS
Like a video is it worth to get a RS over a ST
What wheels did that black 350Z have?
But gels, what about the 6 cylinder vr6 for the mk3 and m4 gti?!?!?!?! The 1.8t isnt the only answer.
Agreed! VR6s are my personal favorite. 🙌🏽 -Edgar
Gels dropping truth about Elden Ring! 🤣
😂😂😂 -Edgar
Is the 370Z as good as the 350Z?
I'm trying to get a Hyundai genesis coupe 2.0t BK2 though.
Had an old nissan sentra b13 that was a pretty good car but definitely not close to a 350z performance wise
What wheels are directly behind your head?
Konig hypergram! -Edgar
Want a 350z just ain’t got the cash
Also first car was a 1st gen Mazdaspeed3
Speed3's are a good first car to start with! You'll be able be able to get that 350 if you put your mind to it! -Edgar
will you ever make 4 lug anovias id love to put some on my 84 300zx
You can always request your quote for a 4 lug! -Edgar
Found a clean Acura rsx for under 5 grand and my parents aren’t letting me get it cuz “it’s way too old” smh I need help 😩
my ef civic is ~31 years old and the chassis is fine. the age really doesnt matter, what matters is if its in good condition so try to convince them and have the seller let you inspect or take it to a mechanic to inspect before purchasing. i will say this, anything earlier that 2000 will usually require suspension tuning up. age really only hits anything made from rubber (ball joints, bushings, etc). im assuming its at least a 2002 so you should be fine. i got em1 and the rubber bits are still holding up so 20 years isnt that concerning.
What happened to the 99-04 Mustang GT?
my 240 is running goodish
Goodish!? What do you need to get it running 100%? -Edgar
Finally someone how talk like a normal person. ( Alex tald loud too loud )
Hi! I just want to ask, why everytime I visit your website it's always said "message forbidden"? Thanks
Shoot us a DM on IG, that’s super weird man! -Edgar
Wheres the first and second gen Mazdaspeed 3s at?
With abiut 2k you can turn a 90hp TDI into a 170WHP 300ft/lb torque monster
New maybe, but good luck finding a used one that isn't clapped to high hell, aka stock.
Why dont you make a video on Toyota Mr2 mk1...
Not many video's worth talking about on YT about this car.
BUT it will give u 1000's likes.. fb is filled with forums about theese cars
Best first car to modify: any car that was gifted to you.
So what about the lexus sc300? Good first car?
It is! Would recommend. -Edgar
@@FitmentIndustries thanks, I’ll show this to my mom and maybe that will push her more towards saying yes as that being my first car lol
Get a sc400, na 2jz is trash
How'd a junkstang get on the list when the Camaros LS is a far easier and more common engine to dwell with even the price point beats the competition. Same can be said about the Ecotec that rivals the LS on reliability, affordability and aftermarket support
notification GANG! ASSEMBLE!
👄👄 -Edgar
When did they change the name to Anovia? Anybody know why they did that?
It’s been a couple months! Check out the website. -Edgar
www.anoviawheels.com/
Hey I just picked up a st
How are you liking it so far? What are the moves and ideas for it? -Edgar
@@FitmentIndustries it's pretty nice ima throw on a bov later this month the previous owner already put coilovers on it so after the bov are wheels
Caryuns... huh. Never heard of that.
love your videos
Gracias! 🙏🏽❤️-Edgar
why did they change the name of the wheel brand?
We decided to evolve the company brand and do Anovia and make Artisa one of our lineups! We have a lot more coming down the pipeline, so stay tuned! 💪 -Edgar
Anyone in the Pittsburgh area struggling to find anything decent?
My first car was a 96 Acura Integra GSR at 16🥲 i still have it, its just a never ending project. I was doing body work to it back in high school 2020 and i never got to finish it bc of covid. I also blew the motor twice bc i was a dumb high schooler and didnt know any better LOL
I used to drive a 97 civic hatch and i really learned how to work on cars bc of it. I crashed it, fixed it, then lost motivation to even work on it/drive it so i sold it and got an 06 RSX Type S and its so much better in every way. I highly recommend a Type S if anyone is looking for a car
If the GTI is the poor man's Golf R, than I drive a poor man's GTI. MK1 Tiguan. Same motor, no enthusiast tax, and my parents like it. In exchange for a fuck ton of body roll of course, but nothing coils can't fix
There you go! 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽 -Edgar
Lexus is350, only cus I have one 😂😂
Seriously where do I buy these cars with less than 150k miles
