Fitment Industries steering wheel wrap if your car has one. It’s something you touch every time you drive.
Fitment Industries ngl why is it I think about something and then 30 mins later I notice u have a video on it 😂
Air oil separator, radiator, tires, suspension components. Mainly drivability
Fitment Industries it is a SLIPPERY SLOPE when modding you’re car,any car. It all starts with a stroll to F.I. n then BAM 💥, your looking up parts cashing out your cart full of intake, headers , injectors etc. then your entering your info n shits on its way... travel wisely my bro’s ✌🏽🔰
Tyres, and particularly if you own a diesel an oil catch can
What if my daily is my project
Project daily drive?
Same.
First car squad!
Don't do it
@@Vigi1ante i've been doing it in a 1975 Ford Granada Mk1 since september
Number one advice for your daily before any of this: Attend to the check engine light.
Too bad VWs come with them on from the factory 😅
Maybe an oil change.
It's your choice to throw money away of you like doing that.
Those are somewhat overrated , as I haven't done one since 2013 on my daily.
@@AceZWiLD10
They must've forgotten to install one in my 91 Jetta coupe🤔
@@MrTheHillfolk better get that fixed; I paid for a CEL so it better be on😤
@@AceZWiLD10 exactly yhr only time mine gose off is when i disconnect the battery,2hours later its back on.its just letting you know its still under the hood lol
This guy legit sounds like and is the Car version of LinusTechTips...
Spot on lmao

LOL
Yoooo 😹😹😹

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.
Amen to that!
How would you add more sound insulation?
@@Sneka97 Something like dynomat, and or speaker rings. New rubber seals. Things like that.
So, no turbo? #sadlife
Agreed , not touching the motor on the daily
A choccy milk holder
because ur epic 😎
Kwik trip ftw
Just buy a high mileage Subaru and check the oil
Did we just become best friends?
Amen brother😂
Week 3 of quarantine: Watching iDubbz talking about car mods.
He looks nothing like idubbbzzz or sounds like him
true
@@ruskibruski he looks like him a lot
Here at week 50ish.....
Pro tip:
Wield your diff and use the race gear R on your shifter
Uh... Weld?
@@carsonbaker8531 there is always that one guy who cant understand why everyone does do what he went overboard on. i keep getting told to turbo a supercharger with nitro on my wife's daily, it will be so rad man!!!!
Noted
@@carsonbaker8531 no wield it as a sword
Ah yes, wield your weapon even if it is a diff, and hold it high and be proud
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*
Ah, the double din touch screen is a great mod. It's useful, modernises your car and looks great if done right. But if you don't have a 2din slot it becomes a nightmare to mount.
Don't forget turbo kit and obnoxious stickerbombing
I went for a sub, 205/40/16 wheels, back box exhaust and an induction kit.
faceless Most modern cars have touch screens as an option from the factory so it’s truly not bad at all..if you have an older car then unless you want a project just run a quality head unit that fits it appropriately
Why the hell would you want to DD a manual? Lol
Let me guess before i watch...
Wheels
Tires
Suspension
What a stretch...
Mods for daily, recommends;
1.) Suspension
2.) Wheels with better fitment
3.) Tires
That you can get over at FitmentIndustries.com ? 🤣
Sir Francis Bacon F I T M E N T I N D U S T R I E S
a total waste of 10 mins for real
Let me guess as well
Wheels spoiler tint
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).
All very good reasons. One downside is the turn-in response will be lower with wider tires, especially those that add tire "past" the rim edge.
MSportsEngineering explain further
Does it decrease speed tho
Wider tires actually telepath more noise to the car. Low profile rubber is harsh, less shock absorbing. There is this happy zone where the rubber is not too short, not too tall, not too mushy, not too stiff. Even in outright track times, too low has a negative effect just like too high. Giant wheels with rubber band rubber is nothing but a style exercise, and OEMs seem to be continually going that direction.
I do prefer a bit more width, a bit more poke to the outside, but a very conservative aspect ratio with an emphasis on comfort.
Indeed, mine came in OEM size of 205/40R17 on 17x7 wheels, I changed then for 215/40 and they look like I lower it as they fill the gap of the wheel, doesn't look stretched over the wheel and those few extra mm of sidewall makes the crapy roads feel less harsh.
FI: Stick to 18's on your daily
Me, with a NA Miata: They wouldn't lie to me
Monster truck status
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....
He's got "Spoon engines!" Haha. .nice reply.
Had to overnight those engines from Japan
@@Momo_8k lol he did though
MoteC exhaust system?
Alex's face in the thumbnails is probably a snapshot of his reaction whenever they pitch a video idea
My "go to" mods for a daily are : wheels and tires, coilovers, exhaust, maybe intake and that's it.
Yep! Got it all, minus the intake. (Wont do shit for an R18).
+window tint
+boost/bore out/brakes/aero/roll bars/oops I need a new daily
Headlights
Head unit. You want that tasty music and gps in the daily.
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
@LeonL47 cause it's cool
why a spoiler? Do you drive 180 mph to work? Intake? Unless you get an intake box, all it's going to do is get heat soaked, making your vehicle unreliable. Also, whenever you change the AFRs, you need a tune.
"That broken fc rx7 in the garage"
Right in the feels bro...
What is this “reliable” you keep mentioning?
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!
"At the end of the day" Best line of Alex lmao..
Honestly needed this video, I’ve recently bought a 09 accord coupe as my daily car but I’m kinda new to this
Nice! Manual/auto? Either way, the reccomendatiins here are whatcha want.
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
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'm dailiyn my old accord lol. On coilovers wheels and an intake. All I need for now lol
Christopher Elrod keeping it simple is the way for dailies 🤙🏽
Same but i daily a old 89 accord
Same here I got a 97
Neil Craig or a civic non si lol
i got an 84 and love it!
Should double up on the driver to driver, love those!
They first come to see what wheels/coilovers to buy. I keep coming back because of Jasper, Dakota's Driver to Driver, and Alex's occasional runescape reference.
@@josepha1746 this
This video just helped me pick between 18s n 19s, thanks for your wise words my friend!
Good comments on daily driver. Keeping it simple and cosmetic
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 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 👍
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.
Much Needed , preciate yall bois 💯
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
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 !
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 tip 😉
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
This is the exact video I’ve been hoping for 😲👏🏼
Great video, 2 seconds of the S2000 made my day 😀 loved that car
Love the vids
I mean while we quarantined might as well give us so you want a M3/4🤷♂️
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
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
3:25 how does this mans with the Subaru see out the windshield
Me: touching my eye
Alex: "don't touch your face"
Me: quickly removes finger from said eye o.0
Love all your content bro!!
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.
I'm dailying a 99 mustang. Only things done are muffler delete and some cosmetic mods
Ford emblem removal , the first mod on my list
Daily Drive with lowering springs, a decent set of wheels, tires and a smile in my face... priceless..
Hows the ride though when it comes to bumps and potholes?
Well compared to stock its a bit bumpy, but I travel a lot on highway.. traction greatly improved with my current setup.. enjoying my daily drive every bit of it..💪
I needed to hear this, thanks Alex 💪🏻😪
That snowy Corolla video was amazing. Will it rally was a cool series
jokes on you my daily is a Civic Type-R
WHEELS TIRES N SUSPENSION YOU KNOW WHERE TO GET THEM
Bangin vid bro. I fall into that cycle too...
Great video. If I get the avid1; av06 wheels in 18,8,+35, what size tire should I get for my daily?
Can you do a video on flowmaster/magnaflow exhaust mufflers?
Lmfao alex you had me when you said "come on say it with me""reliable"""
Thanks soo much, im getting my first CAR soon and it will be my daily so thanks
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
Not "So you want. . ." but still, i won't stop till it happens. lol
So you want a Kei Truck
alex miranda no I want the Daihatsu Copen GR
when you see your car in a fitment vid, you know you’ve made it
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.
Excellent informative vid ... thx Alex :))
Daily “mods” wheels&tires, tint, taillights/headlights, coilovers and depending on the car maybe maybe maybe an exhaust.
I totally agree :) im doing rims and tires and if I got a new job I will do coils and exhaust and intercooler and a ecu tune :D
Maybe some better brakes as well.
What about forged internals? great daily upgrade
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.
those white wheels are straight up fire!
“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 😂
Alex: Remember keep it reliable!
Me: what about the people who daily a Supra?
Thank you!
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.
I'm not so sure how I could spice up my Miata. It's already the perfect daily driver.
Fatten up tire width a bit, poke to the outside. A nice set of wheels perhaps.
@@exothermal.sprocket twin turbos, I think you meant
@@cbfedge5593 Twin turbos on a 4-cylinder. Now that would be interesting. And dumb.
@@exothermal.sprocket he was asking for spice. That shit spicy
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.
RazorSharpBanana it’s sorta relevant most of the time though homie... we usually discuss , wheels , coil overs , or mods in general that would require us to know where to go... which is ... FitmentIndustries.com for wheels tires or suspension! (: - gotcha xD
You guys should make a video on how to prep the car to fit an aftermarket wheel setup. It's one thing to buy a wheel and tire setup, but it's a whole different monster getting the car to sit right on those wheels and with the correct suspension geometry. For someone like me who's never modified suspension before, tips and tricks as to what to do with your fenders, fender liners, and suspension would be greatly helpful. Thank you Fitment Industries!
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.
Best mod for a daily: Subs
Pipe Villa facts
Factssss
Being this early feels nice
Spoiler alert
The video is great
my daily is a slammed forester on ebay coilovers and i absolutely love it
Last point really hit home. I think I needed to hear that haha
E46 Gang
Last time I was this early I.....I don’t know what to say so you should like the comment just saying
I'm currently cleaning my tools,and imma start learning to weld 😁
Definitely helped me out 👍🏽
One of a best mods is going to get a car first
562st
CornBread 563th
3,059nd
The little things, bushings, mounts, etc always makes a bigger difference than expected
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!
GREAT TOPIC
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 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
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 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
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
I have 2 lincoln ls’s in my yard lol i keep telling myself to mod the lincoln but the lust of shiny new paint and a banging exhaust is real
I have been waiting forever for someone to talk about this topic
Thank you at least someone explain what is a project is and what a daily is
I have an 04 miata ls..will 18s clear.the front wells? Do u have recomendations.?
I have stock suspension now . Plans to upgrade .Maybe some track in future. Roll bar for sure. Tein if they have active suspension.
Have a 14 year old car, just a few days ago i tuned it for the First time with a coilover. Feels good man 😂
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.
