Modifying Car 2011
It is in human nature to not ever be happy with what you have and as soon as you get the thing you want to start looking for something completely different. Also, we are all unique and we need to show that either by the way we dress, the way we talk, the things we dream of and not seldom by the car that we drive.
Most people will afford one or two cars in a lifetime and those will be series cars which you'll see dozens of everyday. Either it's a coat of paint or just a pair of over-sized dices tied to the rear-view mirror, you can't help yourself from the need to stand out in a crowd.
As long as you decide to modify your car, to be hip and happening, you should keep in mind just a few pointers as not to become ridiculous in your attempt to be original: stay true to the lines of the car, respect it's heritage and always modify with an eye towards restraint.
By following these three simple rules you can make sure you won't find yourself tying to fit a plow's tire to your Ford Fiesta just to achieve a rod look. If the car you posses happens to be a sports car it would not be doing it justice by adding a bike rack on top as adding a spoiler to a minivan will not help your family car cruise smoothly

Its success in the World Rally Championships (WRC) has brought Subaru world fame and admiration. Regarded as one of the best sports hatchbacks in the world, Impreza is also available as a sedan that is equally famous in its niche.
The success of Subaru is attributed to innovative Japanese engineering. Relentless research and innovative methods of car making is what highlights Subaru cars and as mentioned earlier, it is their trademark Boxer engine that has fueled their success. A patented feature for years, Boxer engine is an evolution of the In-line or Straight engines. Boxer engines function with the pistons positioned opposite to each other and aligned horizontally as opposed to the conventional vertically aligned parallel pistons. This feature makes Subaru vehicles more stable and the engines vibration-free.
You would be interested to know that Subaru is a division of Fuji Heavy Industries of Japan that used to specialize in making aircrafts. Subaru manufactures its cars mostly in Japan but now they have diversified by developing manufacturing and assembling plants in various other countries too.

In case you need any repair work on your Subaru, make sure you contact your dealership instead of relying on local mechanics. Any part replacements should be verified before fitting and aftermarket parts should be avoided.
Subaru discourages use of cheap aftermarket auto parts as replacements, in case a replacement is needed. They are strict about usage of only OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) Parts for their vehicles. If you end up requiring a replacement part for your Subaru, make sure you buy only OEM parts or place an order with Subaru itself.
Aftermarket parts will definitely come cheap but this way you will be compromising on the safety and performance of your vehicle. If you feel that brand new OEM parts are expensive, for obvious reasons, you can consider buying used OEM parts.
Used auto parts could be the answer to your needs in case you don't want to spend much on part replacements. It is a fact that used car parts cost one-third of what their brand new counterparts do. This way you can certainly end up saving some big bucks while making no compromises on the quality front.
You can also purchase these parts online and have them shipped to your doorstep at no extra costs. This is certainly a valid option to help you avoid aftermarket parts. You can locate a number of good deals online and even compare prices to ensure you make the right purchase.
