When you buy a new car, you wouldn’t be blamed for wanting to upgrade it and make it your own, but many people don’t know where to begin, so what mods should you start with on a new supercar?
Basic modifications are your best friend when it comes to starting with your first modding project, and it doesn’t have to be anything drastic, even something as simple as changing out the tires.
Other great places to start are things like upgrading the exhaust, the cold air intake, or changing the suspension.
There are many different types of possible modifications, and they differ from performance and handling to aesthetics and technology, but where to begin?

Supercar performance and handling
Congratulations on your new supercar, now where to begin with mods?
The best place to start with upgrading it for the best performance and handling would be changing out the tires to new high-performance ones – this simple change can provide a better grip on the road.
A Stage 1 ECU remapping can improve horsepower and torque without major hardware changes, which is perfect for someone who is not a seasoned modder.
Upgrading your exhaust to a performance version can improve the sound, look, and performance of your supercar for a relatively low cost.
A cold air intake (CAI) kit helps the engine get colder, denser air, which can result in a slight horsepower increase and better throttle response.
Per suspension, it may be good to consider upgrades like coilovers for a sportier feel, sharper handling, and a more comfortable ride.
Aesthetics and technology
When it comes to aesthetics and technology, upgrading to lighter-weight wheels can help with performance and handling, but also bring a fresh new look to a car that you may not have considered.
When it comes to mods inside your vehicle, there are countless options, especially when it comes to upgrading the music system and the interior lighting.
It goes back to the age-old question: starlight headliner or ambient lighting?
