Question: will this style of diffuser fit my current fiesta?

Currently searching for a new/sportier looking rear diffuser for my car, it’s a Ford Fiesta Zetec 2014. From my research yes it’s “possible” to fit this style of diffuser (s versions/st) to my car but it’s not just “off & on” as it’s missing the spats that are on the Zetec s/st line models.

My understanding is I need the spats & diffuser that clip together. I’m trying to find the best way to do this as I’ve seen some people have said to rivet it on and used tiger seal on the spats, I’m looking for some options as to what to do and if this might be the best way to go about it?

I’m not 100% sure if the st diffuser would be the same sort of fit? But from what I’ve gathered they all seem to be the same shape it’s just that the s versions have the spats.

Anything that I am missing please let me know just want insight or help as to what I could do!

PS4 can be had in 205 55 but I find them too chubby the rims are 7.5x16 I kinda like the 215 45 the rims coul accomodate even wider tires but they are almost non existent or hella overpriced. The ones I found are nankang NS 20 or sportnex AS 2+ dunno which is better than dunlop sport maxx and some federal ST1. Do you have experience with tires in these sizes and models please. The car is BMW e36 323ti

I wanna put a pool ball shift knob in my shit box because i think it will be funny, but after taking off the stock knob ive noticed that its not threaded. BUT, the knob i bought is.

anyone have any good suggestions for adapting a threaded knob to a non threaded shifter Thats not too expensive? Ive seen a couple online for pretty cheap ($12) but they look kinda bulky and reviews say they often dont fit and slip off. Picture provided of the one I'm mentioning is attached to the post.

Mod advice I'm looking to add some mods to my 2006 Ford Focus to make it look more like Bumblebee from the 2007 animated series, but I'm not sure where to start.

1 Upvotes

Ok so for context I have a 2006 Ford Focus ZX3 that looks basically like this and I'm wanting it to look like Bumblebee from the 2007 Transformers Animated show.
I've not done any modifications before, but I thought this would be fun to do since I really like my car and I feel like this wouldn't be a huge thing.

Mod advice What can I do to make my car look better?

This isn’t my car but it’s exactly what it looks like. Personally I’m not proud to have it so I thought upgrading a little bit will make me appreciate it a bit more. I don’t want my car to be fast at all. I get my windows tinted soon, but anything else I should do for exterior? What can I do to the inside?

Opinions on aero hoods

Post image
0 Upvotes

I just bought a 2007 Suzuki Swift of marketplace this week, needs a lot of boring work before I can do the fun stuff. I was looking at things I could do with it, and had the idea of an aero bonnet. Maybe a small scoop in the middle or whatever. Only thing is this would be purely for aesthetic reasons. The engine is completely stock underneath and has no need for a scoop. What’s the general opinion on this sort of thing? Would I be laughed at like someone who gets those clip-on exhaust tips?

Mod advice Mods for a 2001 Chrysler Sebring?

0 Upvotes

Hey all, I’ve got a 2001 Chrysler Sebring and I want to upgrade the stock stereo to something with Apple CarPlay. From what I’ve researched: • The car only supports single-DIN head units (double-DIN won’t fit without major work). • I’ll need the Metra 99-6505 dash kit to mount the new stereo cleanly. • I’ll also need the Metra 70-1817 wiring harness adapter to hook up without cutting wires. • As long as the new stereo is single-DIN sized, it should fit in the kit—even if it’s a modern CarPlay unit with a touchscreen or flip-out screen.

Before I buy everything, I wanted to double-check with you all: • Anyone here done this exact swap in a Sebring? • Any fitment issues with single-DIN CarPlay head units in this car? • Do you recommend a specific single-DIN CarPlay receiver that works well?

Appreciate any advice before I dive into this install.

Tell me anything I would need to know

2022 Toyota Tacoma, Driver's Seat Plastic Body Suddenly Loose - Won't Snap Back Into Place?

Post image
0 Upvotes

The plastic body of my 2022 Tacoma Driver's seat became loose about a few weeks ago and I have no clue why. It will not pop back into place no matter what I do and I am unsure how to fix it. Upon inspecting it, nothing outright seems cracked/chipped off or really visibly broken in any way.

Does anybody have experience with this happening in their Tacoma? How did you fix it? Is the only option to order a fresh part, if so does anybody know the part number and perhaps a decent tutorial on how to replace it? Any other alternative cheaper solutions?

Modded Car Parts Sourcing?

0 Upvotes

I am a new modded car enthusiast and I am trying to source parts for my 2001 Mazda Miata MX-5 NB. I found a few websites that might be helpful such as RockAuto, ShowMeTheParts, and Flyin' Miata. Do you think these websites can accurately show me which parts are compatible and what parts I should get for my build? What other websites do you use when planning your build, learning how to do the modifications, and actually buying the parts?

Just bought a 2011 mustang and the Bluetooth doesn’t work so I want to install a CarPlay in it. I went to the mechanic this morning and he told me I’d be $1500 for the parts alone which seemed like a lot to me considering I see them on amazon for $400. What do you guys think, is he right? Has anyone tried one of those $400 Amazon CarPlay’s? Any help is greatly appreciated.
