5 Cheap Car Mods That Look Expensive!

- Remember 5 Cheap Cars That Look Expensive? Well here is the long awaited successor to that series, except now it's 10% less braindead with an added bonus of me actually owning a cool car now. Remember when I made the first video, it was just satire, and I literally owned a freaking Nissan Sentra? Time sure flies.
In this video, we'll be featuring mods that have no right being as cheap as they are with how expensive they look! Especially to unsuspecting onlookers! Whether it's a $4000 Gold Chrome Wrap that fools plebs into thinking you have $100,000 worth of Gold Paint, or a $400 set of Hydrodipped Carbon Fiber wheels that look just like their $20,000 counterpart!

Quick Corrections: Wraps can still orange peel since they lay on top your paint and conform to it's texture.
Also regarding splitters, some of them will need an Undertray to mount to. Most Sports cars come with a functional undertray for it to attach to, but most economy cars will not.
If a splitter doesn't have an undertray, it's technically a, "Front Lip" as it's downforce benefits are next to none, and it's primary goal at that point is to just scoop air into the grille.
Also since I noticed this video got recommended to a lot of non-car guy first viewers to my channel. Y'all are complaining about, "He talks about his Corvette a lot"
Well no shit...I'm a *car* channel. Asking me to talk less about my car is like asking a gaming channel to not play their favorite game. I used my car in this video to serve as the quickest example I could think of/ have personal experience with.
Well that's just stupid, its a car channel, so talk about your corvette for all I care! After all, *it is your channel.*

The more Gold Wrapped cars that exist, the less cool expensive paint jobs will become! When people can no longer tell the difference between a $4000 Wrap job vs. a $100K+ Paint job, people will realize how tacky it was to spend A HUNDRED THOUSAND on gold paint in the first place!

one of the reasons I am watching this vid is understand what's going on in noncar ppl minds
I had to think like one while making this vid.
Most Car Guys don't mod cars to look rich, but then again, seeing as to how popular my first "Cheap things that look rich" vid got. I realized the people who do want to look rich, are part of the greater majority outside of the car community.
Exactly 😎
Hey motorsport aerodynamacist here: 90% of the time if you buy those splitters or "diffusers" chances are you'll only increase drag and lift rather than downforce as they likely aren't heavily optimized, especially if they're cheap. Plus for a diffuser to really function it has to operate in conjunction with a proper undertray to truly speed up the air. Because of this id warn to stay away if you're buying them purely for these benefits.
However that bonus for paint/bumper protection is smart and I didnt really consider that much. Great video
Some manufacturers already install undertrays in their cars nowadays for fuel economy's sake, but older cars usually don't, and enthusiasts overlook them for more appealing mods such as power and aesthetics. Functional aero mods are completely underrated, and hats off to those that do their research well. (BTW, roof spoilers on sedans and coupes isn't "racecar". It's plain stupid aerodynamically. Just putting it out there.)
yeah someone in my town has a huge carbon fiber spoiler on their mazda3, and i can't help but wonder how much that ruins the fuel economy at highway speeds, it's just a bunch of drag you're adding to the back end of a fwd, stock car, so it's not giving him any benefits at all.
I'm looking into getting a wing, splitter and diffuser for my car for the downforce. It feels a bit unstable over 160 mph. Any suggestions on where to get quality ones?
alternative title: how to look like you dont survive off ramen noodles!!!!!
Hooray
@GegrillteOrange Reality doesn't matter. Opinions do. You can be a broke ass student like me, but as long as you don't look like one, there is no issue. After all, the goal is to look rich not to be rich... or something like that.
If you don't put the flavouring in the ramen you can add butter, salt and a couple pepperonis, makes it much nicer than it already is
Not to mention the added wieght of painting a car with real gold
when i was a kid, i thought gold vinyl wrap was cool but overtime i started to think it's ugly as crap

Not maturity, when you hear something enough you start to believe it to fit in. If the majority of "car guys" think it's ugly you will be swayed to that opinion. Funny how the same people that routinely call out gate keeping gate keep the most.

Honestly duraflex makes some decent side skirts, diffusers and splitters for the vq boys. Their bumpers tho are kinds shit aha
Combining this knowledge with Bladed`s previous video about cheap cars that looks expensive, I might be able to build a good looking car for relatively inexpensive price. Plus, simply cleaning the car and replacing worn out/damaged parts can make a car look way more expensive.
Can confirm front splitters do the job in terms of protected your bumper. Some guy hit a deer in front of me, which then rolled under his truck which caused me to also run over the deer. Thankfully only the splitter snapped off, leaving no damage to the bumper. It would’ve been caved in or even cracked off entirely if the splitter wasn’t there
My parents think that a diamond wrapped car is the best thing ever and I want to be an orphan now
3:44 what a smooth ad placement, I loved it
I think many chrome wraps are ugly, but I will admit that wrapping a car in black-colored chrome looks really cool. It actually looks darker than regular black paint, and if paired with other colors correctly, it looks really amazing.
Fact: people who aren't rich like flaunting rich looking things. Most truerich people just live their lives and dont try to flex
Imagine youre like really rich, lets say 100 million worth. You can buy every car or every house you want but people could kidnap your kids or something likely to make you give them money so you dont flex and enjoy youre wealth but in a calm way
That really just depends on the person

I'm gonna play devils advocate here and say that macco is actually decent depending on which one you go to. My buddy went to get his fiero gt painted at macco in gold and only spent about $1000 but there wasn't any orange peal. Kind of surprised me.
I didn't know about vinyl wraps until I started to watch your videos... now I want an itasha Panzer IV
In high school I wrapped my cheap Boxster with chrome blue wrap. Got waaay too much attention despite the car being half to a third of what everyone else’s new SUVs costed. Worth it.
I know of a guy on youtube that has a 12 000$ exhaust. He keeps the price pretty secret, so don’t mention it to anyone.
Much love, your friends at Rev Media!!

My type of video straight to the point❤️
The corvette looks so sick man. I wish I could have one, especially yellow, nice taste man. Too bad I live in Italy
Actually took notes for the video. Thank you!
5:17 that vette looks pretty good actually ngl
Just to be clear about the gold chrome wrap, it's going to cost roughly 6-8K. Not exactly what I'd consider a "cheap mod" But significantly cheaper than the rear gold paint. Also, all vinyl wraps DO have orange peel. It's just not as large as paint.
I was able to wrap my sister’s car for 350$ (well add 50$ in materials to fix the chips and dents) because it had an accident and needed some doors replaced but the insurance totaled it out so for pretty cheap I got some doors and replaced them and then wrapped it using Vvivid vinyl that was on sale. Looks clean with all the dents and chips fixed too. Definitely a fun thing to DIY if you have patience.
my dad did the diamond interior on our WRV lol. i was genuinely surprised at how nice it turned out
(To clarify, this comment is a joke. I'm not a part of the car community, and I just thought this would be funny.) Hey BA! I had a question. So in just a year I will be taking my drivers test, and I'm planning on trying to get a car and slowly over the years make it better and better. Here we go. I firstly want to paint it monarch gold, give it ruby red tire lights and put some ruby red paint between the cracks of the tires (I love architecture, so you would expect my love of small details to come into play.), possibly make the tire frame monarch gold, and make the brake caliber ruby red for the color scheme. My other ideas are things like removing the tire gap and possibly adding the diagonal tire thing, so I'm thinking about looking into how. Last main thing is a small wing at the back of the car. And no, I won't plastidip, I swear. I know you probably won't see this, but what do you think sounds good?
with those details i think an image would be needed
Not to be rude or anything but it sounds absolutely terrible
sounds a lil rice cuz the monarch gold looks like almost a mud color so maybe make that be a storm blue. also maybe make the red lime green almost but a lil darker for the break calipers. Tire lights aint so good so maybe not add that and a small lip spoiler would be good but it depends on the car that its going to go on so just keep that in mind i think also the rims should be like a satin really really dark grey for a good effect on them so you can see the shape but itl look cool at the same time and a gloss carbon fiber vinyl wrap for you're roof would be good but it depends heavily on you're car tho but that's just my opinion its ultimately you're choice really but ye ok bye have a nice day :)
By "diagonal tire thing" I'm assuming you mean camber? Don't add camber, you'll go through tires all the time and it won't ride well.
@@cattledecapitation7193 well a little camber is ok but its ok untill about -5 degrees to improve cornering and fitment
Let’s gooo another uploaddd
Rocker Panels are AMAZING. Especially for my friends with bad paint, or bad body material.
"Personally I think any car looks cool with a diffusor, just don't get an oversized one"
Hmm. What about Lamborghini Centenario. 🤔
its a supercar...? so?
The Centenario gets a pass. If a diffuser is ugly on a Supercar, you have to remember for them it's, "Function over Form". They're designed to keep those fast AF bad boys on the ground!!! Not for style!! In the same way I think the SVJ is overdesigned compared to the SV, the reality is it was much faster. The Centenario follows similar logic.
What is ugly about the Centenario though, is the tri-exhaust tips. They stick out like a bug's eyes. If I had a Centenario I would legitimately mod them to have either dual or Corvette-style quad tips.
This is the 2nd time i've caught you saying "bumpers these days are made of fiberglass not metal". 1) mainly... *only* your corvette (famously) uses FIBERGLASS from the factory to shell the entire body from bumper to bumper. 2) NO car uses metal bumper covers lol. Back in the old days (think 60s, maybe 70s and 80s on mostly trucks) an actual "bumper" was a solid steel beam in front. But CARS in modern times, like pretty much everything ever that isn't a vette or exotic - use POLYURETHANE.. it is a rubberized plastic. NOT fiberglass.
Cheap bodykits are fiberglass. fiberglass will burst and shread when flexed. Urethane will bend and stretch and if the damage is extreme, it will tear, but it is VERY different than fiberglass.
I'm totally guilty of carbon fiber wrapping my interior.
Absolutely zero shame though. It looks nice and also protects the material from sun damage. So it has a purpose outside of looks lol
Def gonna get two of these on my Mini! The rim protection thing to match the red of my car, and the diamond leather stitching. Should look quite nice! :)
Actually, maybe the splitters as well. Here in Canada having 6 months of permafrost on my floor mat because I have nothing to beat the snow off my boots with, that may be just convenient, lol.
Howd it go
Update?
The bit about splitters reminds me about the trailer hitch on my truck. those things are surprisingly tough. even if it did break I could just walk into Walmart and pick up one for cheap. If the poorly constructed Dodge bumper gets bumped however it will usually just crumple like a soda can, and then cost a fortune to replace. those drop down trailer hitches also work like a step for getting into the bed of a lifted truck. it's round so you probably want to be cautious when using it as a step, but it's definitely better than no step at all. also the brush guard price scares a lot of people but compared to the cost you'd have if a deer/moose/bear ran out in front of you and rekked the front of your truck and the radiator it's actually worth considering.
Really Really like just getting into the list at the start of the video
Hey man, used to watch your videos every day, was a big fan, kinda forgot about you when I left for boot camp. RUclips suggested this video today, and I'm surprised I never subscribed. Thanks for the advice, and a big thank you for the entertainment.
I do have one question. Why on earth would you buy a Vet? Shoulda got a demon.
you're rally good giving the percentage of people that have a certain opinion, do you have any source to prove your numbers? lol
I like your channel, man. Is it a common thing to you to know non-car people who get splitters and side skirts installed? To me, it seems like it would not happen frequently. Cheers!

“5 cheap car mods that look expensive”
My broke self: *write that down, write that down!*
As a car guy, I would only gold chrome wrap my car if it was for a big event cruise like the gold rush or gumball 3000 alongside advertising and stuff so it stands out. But the wrap goes off once I've made the most out of it photography wise and stuff after the rally 😂

I have some of those "made in china" diamond stich floor mats in my wrx. They don't look good or expensive. But i love them. The fit is like 85% of the way there but not perfect which is the biggest issue. However, They do protect the carpet from winter and are easy to clean dog hair off of. They're a nice alternative to weathertech.
Didn't waste any time with an intro, straight to the point.
So fun fact I actually go to Deakin university in Australia where the current major manufacturer for carbon fibre wheels, carbon revolutions, started as a final year engineering project and apparently from what some of the professors who worked during the time the students who started the company were finishing there final year is that apparently the process for making carbon wheels is completely different to general carbon fibre pieces like body panels so unique that most hyper car manufacturers (except I believe Konigsegg) prefer to have carbon revolutions do it rather than invest in developing the tech required to produce them themselves. Hence the massive price

I'm trying to get more into car mods though most of my knowledge comes from repair work which has turned out to be far simpler than modding. Got a job at a repair shop helping out mainly learning alot as I go. Alot of good mechanics there but all old people who think anything that isn't a classic muscle car isn't really worth trying to have fun in. so not alot of help learning there. I have an 04 rainier v8 ls engine and I love. I have alot of general engine knowledge but don't know nearly as much about the rest of the car outside of the engine bay. Are ground effects primary for low sitting cars and would their be any point to doing those on a small suv? Sits about 8-10 inches off the ground. Any other decent recommendations other than beefing the engine?
1. Hydro dipped carbon fiber
2. Vinyl wrapping
3. Diamond stitched leather
4. Wheel trim
5. Ground effects
Prices in uk are so different on painting. I've been professionally painting cars since the 80s and I'm telling you, a PERFECT paint job of any standard metallic colour of a c7 z06 that has no body damage, like show room glass like quality, i could do for 4k in British pounds.
i have a 2009 Honda civic and it had a problem with the hood and Honda wouldn't fix it it had white scratches on the hood and Honda used to recall them but they didn't with mine so i got my hood carbon fiber wrapped and it looks SO AWESOME and i am so happy with it and some people actually cant tell a difference because its a better wrap job about 400 dollars and a cheap one about 200 dollars and i highly recommend it and i am so happy no scratches or nicks when washing either it is very durable and its very affordable
Cool! Now im going to put a splitter and diffuser on my wrangler!!!
