When it comes to car styling, the practice of enhancing a vehicle’s appearance through visual and functional upgrades. Also known as automotive customization, it’s not just about looking good—it’s about making your ride reflect how you drive and live. In October 2025, the focus was on real, doable changes that actually matter: how dark your window tint can be without breaking the law, whether lowering springs will wreck your suspension, and how to turn a dull cabin into a space you actually want to sit in.
Window tint, a film applied to car glass to reduce glare and increase privacy. Also known as auto tint, it’s one of the most common mods—but also one of the most misunderstood. People think darker means better, but 20% tint might make night driving risky, and in Australia, going too dark can get you fined. We broke down exactly what’s legal, what’s safe, and when you should skip tint altogether. Then there’s lowering springs, a suspension upgrade that drops your car’s ride height for a sportier look. Also known as performance springs, they’re cheap and easy to install—but they don’t play nice with stock shocks. We tested the combo, showed the wear patterns, and told you when to upgrade your dampers too. And if you’re tired of your car’s interior looking like a rental, car interior styling, the art of personalizing your cabin with affordable, high-impact upgrades. Also known as car cabin makeover, it doesn’t need a new dashboard or leather seats—just smart choices in seat covers, lighting, and trim. We covered everything from WD-40 scratch fixes to DIY wheel repairs, because your car’s appearance isn’t just about the body—it’s the whole package.
