There is a worrisome practice of upgrading cars to newer models now, my question is what is the point? Is it to make the car better ,look more expensive or what ? I don't really get it, there is no effort to upgrade the performance of the car , tune the power train etc. I think this should be discouraged as I have seen someone who bought the upgraded Lexus 470 as a Prado jeep without even knowing it's a 2005 lexus |

Na greedy people. The other day, I overheard a car parts dealer telling someone (his customer) to upgrade his Honda whatever is around 1m. Like u said, na nonsense aesthetics and when they tend to fall apart, it looks nasty. 7 Likes |

very very stupid practice. and very dangerous too. how do they balance the center of gravity of the car after replacing the original parts it came with which has been synchronized in the factory to suite the overall vehicular weight so as to be in tune with the center of gravity. where VIO suppose chop them no dey see am - na to dey harass people for papers that's the only thing all of them sabi! 5 Likes 1 Share |

What's the problem here? If anyone buys an older model of a car and chooses to do a custom modification, how's that a problem?? Besides, baconline, modify the title of the thread; it's grammatically incorrect. 2 Likes |

In oyibo land, once you mod your vehicle both performance or aesthetics wise, the value of that particular vehicle drops sharply But over here, once you see a modded vehicle for sale, the owner will be adding the costs of his mods to the selling price lol Ask yourself, how many modded vehicles do you see being imported into this country? Highest is rims or cold air intake which won’t trigger a check engine light. Nigerians and our matter self |

my question is if a lexus is modded to become a prado; how would the user deal with the next vehicle registration documents? existing custom papers etc? |

Most of the people who do that just have too much money with a sprinkle of ignorance & desire to show off I think just moderate interior décor 4 a car is best.... but personally, even dat is chore to me.. though really cool 1 Like |
