Car Tuning Calendar

Often, body modifications are done mainly to improve a vehicle's appearance, as in the case of non-functioning scoops, spoilers, wide arches or other aesthetic modification. Aftermarket spoilers or body kits rarely improve a car's performance. The majority, in fact, add weight and increase the drag coefficient of the vehicle, thus reducing its overall performance. These are called Rice Burners.
Tuners know what down force means. They will have modifications such as air canards and rear diffusers. These cars may seem flashy sometimes but, their main goal is performance. The tuner will not use cheap inexpensive tuning components. They only use name brands. When it comes to speed and control, money does not mean that much.
Increasing the wheel track width through spacers and wide body kits enhance the cars cornering ability. Lowering the center of gravity via suspension modifications is another aim of body tuning. Often, suspension tuners unfamiliar with spring dynamics will cut stock springs, producing a harder, bouncy ride. It is also common to lower the car too far beyond the optimal center of gravity purely for appearance.
Competition cars may have light weight windows, or the windows may be completely removed, as auto glass adds significant weight. Plastic windows are much more vulnerable to scratches which reduces service life.
