What is a Custom Car?
A Custom Car is basically a vehicle that has been
modified to please the
owner in ways that make the car better, or more usable, and especially
more stylish
for the owner. The owner will modify things like the body to
give the
exterior a sleeker look. One popular exterior modification is
to
"Shave" the door handles. This is where the builder takes the door
handles off of the exterior of the car and welds the remaining holes
shut.
The doors would then be opened electronically with a
solenoid. The builder might
modify the engine to create more
power, or install some chrome-plated items to add a little flash under
the
hood. Or if the car was intended to be a daily-driver,
the owner
might make some power-train modifications to give the vehicle better
fuel
economy. It really just depends on what your intentions are
for the car. Most car customizers will go all out on their
vehicle to create a comfortable,
and functional, interior. This is where the owner
will spend most of
his time, right?! So why not create a look that is pleasing to him with
lots of
gadgets (TVs, Radio, Upholstery, etc.) to look at, use, or to make him
more
comfortable! Cars have changed throughout history with
new trends, styles, and
even building methods... Custom
