how to modify a car?

For those jokers who thinks modifying a proton satria/accord/vios/ etc etc just for the sake of looking ' cool ' when you have no idea what 'modifying ' a car is all about.

Here's what european
ppl think of this kinda jerks :
When a moron (see: retard, dumb@$$) decides to
take a car (foreign or domestic) and tries to make it look fast. The car will not really gain any HP or performance, but it will gain numerous
stickers and shiny paint.

It
can be identified by one of the followings:

1. Huge exhaust that serves no purpose but to make the car louder.

2. Incorrect Badgings. (i've seen myself a Perodua Kelisa with a BMW logo!)

3. Insanely
large exhaust tips (5" in diameter or greater).

4. A Honda that has "performance mods" such as stickers, seat harnesses, and a fire extinguisher in full view (just in case the things catches on fire when it hits 60 km/h).

5. A driver who claims his car has 100 HP per liter but will not fess up to the fact that his car has a total of 43 ft/lbs of torque.

6. Spoilers & bodykits; especially those made of cardboard or plastic.

7. Large spoiler on the back that looks like something Boeing made for the 747.

8. Bodykit to make the car appear lower, usually accented with chicken wire.
