What Are the Best Mods for Daily Driving?! 

What do you think are the best mods for your daily driver? Also, don’t forget to check out our MASSIVE online fitment gallery to help plan your next set of wheels! bit.ly/2yzxQqY

What if my daily is my project

Number one advice for your daily before any of this: Attend to the check engine light.

This guy legit sounds like and is the Car version of LinusTechTips...

Proper mods for a proper daily driver: 1: Normal tires with some sidewall. 2: Maintain it properly. 3: UV blocking tint that's as light as possible. 4: LED bulbs as the halogen bulbs burn out. 5: Sound insulate it and add a modern head unit and maybe some nicer speakers. 6: Do nothing that adds maintenance cost, difficulty or time.

Week 3 of quarantine: Watching iDubbz talking about car mods.

A choccy milk holder

Best daily *MODS* *Subwoofers* *Aftermarket double din touch screen stereo* *Short throw shifter* *35%* window tint* *Weighted shift knob* *Strut bar* *Axle back exhaust nothing too loud* *Lowering springs with struts and shocks we want to be lower a bit not too much and we want a better ride quality*

Pro tip: Wield your diff and use the race gear R on your shifter

Let me guess before i watch... Wheels Tires Suspension

FI: Stick to 18's on your daily Me, with a NA Miata: They wouldn't lie to me

I usually just go with wider aftermarket wheels and buy 10 or 20 mm wider tires with the same aspect ratio as OEM. It fills the wheelgap, gives more traction (wider tires) and more comfort (fatter tire).

Bro he’s gonna have 3 Honda civics with spoon engines, I’m tellin you man! Well, I’m glad we don’t have to worry bout that anymore....

Alex's face in the thumbnails is probably a snapshot of his reaction whenever they pitch a video idea

What is this “reliable” you keep mentioning?

My "go to" mods for a daily are : wheels and tires, coilovers, exhaust, maybe intake and that's it.

"That broken fc rx7 in the garage" Right in the feels bro...

This is what I do on my daily: Tints, Led swap, Wheels, Spolier Black roof If needed exhaust intake mod that's all you need

"At the end of the day" Best line of Alex lmao..

Damn I can't wait to lower my stock opel agila 98 1.0 with a coilover and slap on some dope ass TE37 rims to increase my daily driving on my semi-slick toyo's.

I started using your site before I knew you had a channel & the fact you try to educate people on various topics and avoid setup mistakes is really dope, instead of just trying to push the product and causing the customer to spend more money after making mistakes. Love you guys, your content & the fact that you're the plug!

Yooooooo, finally some SAAB representation in here!!!!

First video of this channel that I've found, and thanks for the subtitles! Very helpful for people who's first language isn't English, just thanks, really

Much Needed , preciate yall bois 💯

Me: I’m just going to buy some wheels and keep it stock Also me: -buys $10k in wheels, performance parts, and a body kit- Why am I like this

Should double up on the driver to driver, love those!

YES!!! that's exactly what I have planned for my daily. just suspension, wheels, tires, body kit, and then a wrap. only want the looks to be touched up on. not everything else.

Honestly needed this video, I’ve recently bought a 09 accord coupe as my daily car but I’m kinda new to this

I once bought a grand marquis to drive daily because I had no desire to do anything to it...10yrs later I’ve built 3 of those cars and have learned more about the panther platform than I ever wanted to 😂..the great thing about that platform is they maintain they’re comfort even when supercharged with big cams and a ridiculous torque converter 👍

intake, cat back, lowering springs or coils , oem upgraded rims (example would be like base cobalt with SS rims), upgraded headlights (hid/LED bulbs)

I'm dailiyn my old accord lol. On coilovers wheels and an intake. All I need for now lol

This video just helped me pick between 18s n 19s, thanks for your wise words my friend!

I mean while we quarantined might as well give us so you want a M3/4🤷‍♂️

Eibach springs are excellent for daily driving as they're softer initial spring rate but its progressive and adds better handling. A strut tower brace is a very easy mod, usually inexpensive, and makes vague steering (like the mentioned corolla) a lot more confidence inspiring.

Thanks for the video Alex, I needed this information 😬

Love vids like these 👌👌 have been subscribed for a while now always love your content , love from England !

window tints, exhausts, coilovers, and some cosmetic mods are the only ones i think you should consider for your daily

When you're so rich you end up modding the car too much. Imagine

This is the exact video I’ve been hoping for 😲👏🏼

2012 G37xS, great all-season daily that you can take to a track day, car show, grocery store, and even tackle PA winters with AWD, glad FI has me covered with the perfect blend of aftermarket wheels, tires, and suspension components, while still maintaining near factory drivability and reliability

jokes on you my daily is a Civic Type-R

Love the vids

When I purchased my Lexus IS (F-Sport) last year, it had NiCHE M116 Misano 19" Wheels on them which looked really good. The car was driven in Virginia for a few years, until I bought it and brought it to NYC. I had the car 36 hours in the city and ripped the tire in a pothole. Using it as a daily driver (and autocross/track), but putting daily mileage on it, IN POTHOLE CENTRAL, I had to switch to OEM 17" wheels and I have to worry a little less about ripping tires, although that happens as well. But overall, it's a wall thickness that lets me drive (sporty) and gets me faster from one assignment to another. I had to chose pragmatism over beauty, although my DD setup is still looking sharp.

My beloved first car is rusting out sadly and is unibody frame. So I am going to have to hand weld a new frame onto it section by section. So because I am literally rebuilding my daily, I thought I'd mention some! 1st - battery cut off switch - $15-$50 Allows cutting your battery in heavy winter storms to help preserve it's life and makes electrical maintenance easier. Also you don't have to worry anymore about keeping that loose wire from touching anything - it's still bolted down when disconnected! 2nd - EZ Oil Drain Valve - $20 - $50 Literally a godsend invention - no tool needed! Just lift the handle, and turn it! I would recommend opening the fill plug first though. Makes oil change maintenance 100X easier and also removes any stripping issues that might arise 3rd - Same mod as last, but find the size of your trans fluid drain plug. - Same price too! Like really, they are missing out on that marketing method!!! Bonus - at least a 1 pump hydraulic set up. A bit pricier and more something you buy the parts for over time, then do the conversion while driving your nice car daily for a little bit - maybe a week. You could park it, lift it, and change the fluids without ANYTHING... It's the easiest car to maintain ever!

Me: touching my eye Alex: "don't touch your face" Me: quickly removes finger from said eye o.0

3:25 how does this mans with the Subaru see out the windshield

Great video, 2 seconds of the S2000 made my day 😀 loved that car

I needed to hear this, thanks Alex 💪🏻😪

WHEELS TIRES N SUSPENSION YOU KNOW WHERE TO GET THEM

I'm dailying a 99 mustang. Only things done are muffler delete and some cosmetic mods

Love all your content bro!!

I got a 17’ v6 Camry XSE, and all I need is a CAI, wheels, coilovers, catback exhaust and a tune and I’m good.

Daily Drive with lowering springs, a decent set of wheels, tires and a smile in my face... priceless..

Not "So you want. . ." but still, i won't stop till it happens. lol So you want a Kei Truck

My daily is my VW GT, swapped out the wheels with the Rline wheels (same size) which I had powder coated gloss black and got new Michelins (went from 225 to 235). Got new slotted disc brakes with ceramic pads. H&R lowering springs. Changed interior lights to LED. Replaced OEM filter with K&M filter. Still have a full stereo in my closet that I havent installed yet and will be getting an exhaust when this craziness is all over. Simple changes but enough to make it not so stock.

I don't know if I'd consider them mods, but for my daily E39 I refreshed all the suspension bushings and joints with new OEM parts, good condition Bilstein struts from junkyard ($20 each), and slapped some nice quiet touring Pirelli's on the stock wheels with a slightly taller sidewall than stock for dat comfort. Highly recommend sticking with a stock intake for a daily. Replacing paper filters every 12k miles for $7 each time is way nicer than cleaning and re-oiling a cotton gauze filter that doesn't filter nearly as many fine particles as a paper one. Also using a high quality full synthetic oil and best oil filter (usually OEM) is a given.

I love this channel but I've been noticing that it no joke takes 3 minutes to actually talk about the content of the video without the bs promos.

Lmfao alex you had me when you said "come on say it with me""reliable"""

Can't afford a project car and wanted to get some practice on working on my daily this gave some great tips on where to start before looking into a completely different vehicle

Excellent informative vid ... thx Alex :))

“You dump all the money on your new car and not your old car” *Looks neverously at the mods for the s197 while the Mercury Cougar I got first needs an engine rebuild soon.* ITS LIKE THEY KNOW 😂

I'm not so sure how I could spice up my Miata. It's already the perfect daily driver.

When i got my manual car (engine was fine-just cosmetic) 1. coilovers (D2 racing) 2. tires (cooper) make sure to do alignment once the coilovers are on so the tires are RELIABLE 3. exhaust (invidia) 3/4 i should do Wheels next but my car came with type s wheels for the RSX type S, probably will get Enkei down the line

I have a 2014 Genesis Coupe 2.0t R-spec 6-speed! I left it bone stock aside from tinting the windows and getting the entire exhaust custom built from stainless steel. nice, clean, somewhat quiet daily.

Daily “mods” wheels&tires, tint, taillights/headlights, coilovers and depending on the car maybe maybe maybe an exhaust.

when you see your car in a fitment vid, you know you’ve made it

I just discovered your channel and I love it! Personally I don't like the look of slammed cars. But to each their own. As I own 'only' one car daily driver stuff is more important to me.

Good comments on daily driver. Keeping it simple and cosmetic

Alex: Remember keep it reliable! Me: what about the people who daily a Supra?

What about forged internals? great daily upgrade

He has alot of good points. For one, since my 1st car in high school I have always modified my daily. It's starts with that 1st mod then your hooked and spend all your paycheck on it and end up having more car troubles latter on with that same car. I'm on my 8th car now but it's all stock. I still think about springs and just rims for my new daily but I know when I start it I can't stop lol

Great advice, I just got another daily driver and have a truck that needs work and I almost fell into the trap of spending my money on just the daily. Thanks for saving me from the headache lol.

Can you do a video on flowmaster/magnaflow exhaust mufflers?

Best mod for a daily: Subs

Definitely helped me out 👍🏽

I have a little 5 door Ford Fiesta Titanium 2019 with 100 Hp. First things I did was visual mods: changed the front grill to a black one, did some wrapping to remove other chrome parts and add a unique touch to my car. Then I decided to change the wheels: went for 17 inches, so only 1 size above the standard 16 inches. The 16 inches wheels will be for the winter period. Then I got to work on performance: installed a boxed K&N filter to help engine breath better, did a custom ECU tune to get +45 HP and +70 NM of torque, installed a sports exhaust which has sound without making me deaf or annoying my neighbors. And last step will be lowering springs. And that's it. With all of this it's a perfect daily car but with enough mods to make it unique to you own tastes.

Being this early feels nice Spoiler alert The video is great

E46 Gang

I have lifted 96 Jeep XJ, a 98 Mitsu Montero, and a lowered 99 s10 xtreme that was basically a daily driven project for the last 10 years. Finally bought a 2021 Forte GT manual as the 'reliable daily' and I'm fighting the urge to go too far with moding it haha

Thanks soo much, im getting my first CAR soon and it will be my daily so thanks

Last time I was this early I.....I don’t know what to say so you should like the comment just saying

One of a best mods is going to get a car first

Great video. If I get the avid1; av06 wheels in 18,8,+35, what size tire should I get for my daily?

That snowy Corolla video was amazing. Will it rally was a cool series

562st

My daily is my 08 cobalt LS I have an lsj stage one swap cold air intake and new exhaust and this week I’m finally gonna order my tires wheels and suspension I’m so hype 🤩🤩

Bangin vid bro. I fall into that cycle too...

I just got an A7 TDI. My list is short: MAINTENANCE FIRST. Then rear sway bar to help mitigate the fact I'm trying to take any corner in a boat, tune because diesels get better fuel economy, and actually a smaller wheel (20" down to a 19") to add some sidewall and help improve the ride, which is already pretty good, but could be better.

So funny! 🤣 My "daily" Honda Accord has turned into a project. I can't stop modding it. Now I want a Corolla or Civic as a daily.

Honestly 100% agree with the stock car on coils looking proper with no gap, saw a low corolla everything stock except the coils and it looked not like the classic dork corolla

I'm currently cleaning my tools,and imma start learning to weld 😁

I’m in a tough spot, my Golf R has only a couple mods and it’s fun to drive. But I can just FEEL it wants more. Our family car is a Prius V (it’s more of an appliance than a car) and it has the 2 car seats, stroller, etc. I’m the only one who drives my car (the R) and it’s light use around town. I want to mod my car more but I don’t want it to lose value or be uncomfortable since I don’t track it. But I want to have a blast on those rare days I can get away and enjoy the car. Current mods: IE cold air intake, turbo inlet pipe. CTS resonator delete. 034 dogbone mount insert. Stock wheels (19” Pretoria) and tires.

i have an K&N Typhoon intake, a custom made 3inch turbo back none resonated exhaust with sports cat, Wagner performance intercooler, Bola CSR 19"/8.5" gloss black wheels, 1" wheel spacers, 380mm big brake kit all round, with 8 pots on the front, and 6 pots on the rear, 15mm lowering springs, and a stage 2 tune. this is my daily

My lancer is my daily, I'm doing everything to make it reliable and about to withstand the power I plan on adding. New radiator, fluid swap, wheels, tires, fuel rail, rally coilovers, headlights, taillights, exhaust, starter, and intake.

Been slightly modifying my daily, intake done, exhaust done, tune done, suspension done, splitter done, tinting done, wrap is going to happen in april so i definatly need a new daily 😂🤷🏼‍♂️

yes, volvo 740/940 on some 17 or 18 inch rims with some lowering springs and a exsaust sounds like a good daily to me

on my 2018 Lexus 3is i did these changes since its my daily (Work/Roadtrip/etc) 1)Sequential Mirror turn signals 2)Sequential DRL+Turn Signals 3)Wider wheels by 24mm wider than OEM so within fenders 4)Aftermarket/Computer Android Auto/Apple Carplay ( best thing ever) 5)Carbon Steering wheel, like the under part of the wheel since its flat and i can rest my legs higher for road trips 6)Air suspension hands down for comfort and shows ( dropped about 1.75in for drive height)

Wheels, tires, throttle body, intake, exhaust, tune, poly lower engine mount. I agree save the big projects for a secondary car. The pressure of pulling an engine on a weekend and hoping it will be done by Monday for work is too much pressure.

those white wheels are straight up fire!

I just got some RSEs,18x8.5 in the front 18x9.5 in the back. Matching them with bc coils. Front tires are 225/40/18s Rear tires are 255/35/18s With -4 - -5 degrees of camber you think it’ll rub or bacon my fenders? 2017 Jetta
