You know how those sport cars in fast & furious or need for speed look like right? Now imagine you can get a car that looks like that for less than a million naira. Yes you read it right, less than a million naira. Well Is this possible, or it's just fantasy? I'm a huge fan of car pimping and custom nd I think this is very possible if you follow these steps(these are my opinions tho, nd am open to learn from your comments)

To start with,
Keep in mind that our max budget here is 1million naira, and when it comes to getting a car, You would hardly get a toks sedan car for even 1.1m especially something that looks a lil bit recent like from a 2006 model upward, you can't even get any Toyota for than amount.
What to do? Go for a Naija used car, don't go for a toyota especially Corolla since they tend to be overpriced in Nigeria. There is a cheaper and better alternative with parts as available as a toyota, durable and cost of maintenance is relatively very low, am talking about a Honda. I won't advice you go for an accord, but go for something smaller & fuel efficient, a CIVIC. Honda Civic is very underrated and therefore making it have low resale value, and that's the good news. You can actually get Naija used 2006-07 Honda Civic that's in a good working condition for less than 800k, there are lot of ads on jiji nd even nairaland for 700k. Make sure when you want to purchase the car, you go with your trusted mechanic for thorough inspection. You shouldn't have a problem with body scratch & cosmetics, or worn tyres(since it's Naija used) just Make sure the can engine is in very very good shape.

Now that you gotten your Honda Civic, second step is getting all it's paper work done & fixing all it's issue(if present). Fixes could be from changing brake pads, to suspensions, to body or interior dents, anything possibly wrong. And for this we are laying out 100k

Then get a new set of tyres, most especially a 205/60/16R tokubo tyres so as to increase the car ground clearance for bad roads. Each cost 15k & you can buy from gazzuz. So for that, we are dropping 60k

After that, make sure you've already ordered a gt sport spoiler wing to spice up the look of your civic, they only costs roughly 45k on jumia including shipping(delivery 20-30days), or a smaller wing from AliExpress for 28k(pictures below). Also with the wing, order a side body decal vinyl (see pictures below) and glow tape for diy interior design, they all cost only 10k incl shipping, and now your car should be looking like what was brought of from a need for speed most wanted video game.

Before applying the decal, its better to give your car a full oven baked body spray to make it look like something coming out of a factory. You can spray the body metallic white & the roof black. You can also give them your spoiler wing to spray its white, leaving the bars black and also to help you fix it on the car. You can also choose to spray your rim black and have a white ring of spray paint around it to give it that sporty look all these should cost 50k max(some do also help you fix body dents for free)

Don't forget to buy a seat cover, they should cost 20k

Ok now bring out your calculators let's calculate how much we've spent so far

Nigeria used Honda Civic 2006-08 - 700k
17" Tyres 15k each - 60k from gazzuz
Gt spoiler - 45k
Oven baked spray/body work+rim spray - 50k
Vinyl Decal+glow tape - 10k
Car seat - 20k
Papers and minor fix - 100k

Bringing us to a sum of N985,000

You see... Not even up to a million yet, and your car is already turning heads lol ..

To finish everything, you can add underglow light to your tyres and tint your glass, but na your choice Sha

Please drop your thoughts am willing to learn

Lol, this guy. At the end of the day you're still in a Civic.


You know the only thing worse than a Civic? A riced Civic. And a Corolla, of course.

Not sure why anyone would want to mess up their car like that. The Civic is already a great car. Why try to make it into something it's not?

Butterfly thinking it is a bird. When a real racing car over takes without looking back, they will start preaching on why one shouldn't be on speed. Where are we rushing too? Shebi if police stop you, I will be at your back.

The second one. There's a fine line between making your car look good and ricing it out, though. Things like wings are rice.

ok now I get your point, but I won't really call the wing a rice since it's not unnecessarily huge and we do know wings do add some little things to a car like reducing it's drag, slight increase of fuel efficiency, and prevent car from lifting off when at high speed or turning. But it not like you'd be racing or doing drift nd sharp turns with the car in Lagos traffic and Nigeria bad roads, with an engine that doesn't have up to 200hp lol, so calling the wing a rice is acceptable . What I would call a rice here is the vinyl sticker ND the light. You can choose to or not to add a wing, but to me, I don't really like cars that doesn't have wing, maybe it's because I prefer to watch car sports to football.. lol

A small rear spoiler is better. Wings are obnoxious. Nothing wrong with a decal, I have one on my car.

Don’t let this distract you from the fact that Hector is going to be running three Honda civics with spoon engines, and on top of that, he just went into Harry’s and bought three t66 turbos with nos, and a motec exhaust system.

The civic doesn't come with R17 so your budget in that regards would be something for R15 or 16.
