Temporarily changing the color of your entire car or certain parts of it is something that crosses the mind of most drivers at one point or the other, which explains the success of foil wraps. Still, this solution can be relatively costly going upwards of a couple of thousand dollars for a full wrap.
A more economical solution for a purportedly easily applied and reversible paint job that seems to be gathering a bit of attention lately is "DipYourCar". What we have here is essentially a plastic paint that is applied via a spray can or a dedicated spray gun.[...]

If the Nissan GT-R can be criticized for one thing, it’s its styling. Sure, the GT-R may be one of the fastest accelerating and cornering cars on the planet, but it definitely doesn’t host those classic supercar lines which are typically the core ingredient that make a supercar what it is. As we’re sure you know, the GT-R is significantly narrower and taller than anything offered by Ferrari, Lamborghini, and even Porsche (Cayenne excluded, obviously), but the bright-green pictured here does not conform with that rule in the slightest sense. This 942 horsepower beast is one of the most customized GT-R’s out there, with the wide-body kit finally giving the GT-R the true supercar proportions it’s always needed. No details have been released about who created the wide wheel arches as it could have a custom one-off job by a fanatical owner, or a relatively mainstream tuner displaying their prowess of what could become a kit available to other GT-R owners

Before the 2013 Mercedes C63 AMG Coupe burst onto the scene last month, its predecessor, the 2012 C63 AMG Sedan - was a doozy in its own right.
How awesome was it? It gave tuners like HMS Tuning free reign to give it some serious performance and exterior modifications.
Starting with the latter, HMS Tuning gave the C63 AMG a few added goodies, including a redesigned carbon fiber front bumper with integrated LED lights, flared wheel arches, a new boot lid spoiler, and a rear diffuser. All these items, incidentally, are made out of carbon fiber. Rounding out the exterior mods are a new set of 19" Jade R HMS-Edition black rims.
Now, for the performance upgrade. With the C63 AMG already carrying one of the best 6.2-liter V8 engines in the world, the Mercedes sports sedan is capable of belting out 457 horsepower. Now, add a three-stage supercharger kit and you’ve got a variety of increased outputs to choose from. Stage I develops 625 horsepower and 593 lb/ft of torque, Stage 2 produces 640 horsepower and 620 lb/ft of torque, and finally, Stage 3 peaks at 690 horsepower and 646 lb/ft of torque.[...]

The Nissan GT-R has become a cult car primarily thanks to its handling, but this doesn’t mean that the ability to negociate corners at amazing speeds is the only asset of the Japanese supercar. The twin-turbo V6 engine that powers Godzilla is also an exquisite piece of engineering and we’re here to let it talk to you. We’ve decided to do this by bringing you a video that shows a 2012 GT-R that uses straight p... [...]

Do you like the visual treatment received by the Mk IV Golf R32 in the adjacent video? We do and we think we know how the car got it. The owner must’ve taken the hot hatch out on a golf course and asked the players to hit it with colored balls. If we use the hint offered by the mirrors, we can say that the original color of the car was red, so it was touched by black, grey, blue and white golf balls. I... [...]

Dusold Designs, a Texan tuner has customized the 2012 Dodge Challenger SRT8 with a widebody look and a matte black paintjob. The owner of this car must really like standing out, but this sure is a cool looking machine. The interior has been customized too, with white leather and black stitching for contrast. This gives the car a bit of contrast, and we’re fans of those plush seats and white dash. Cus... [...]

German tuner Piecha Design is celebrating 30 years of existence and to celebrate they’ve chosen the new Mercedes Benz E-Class Coupe and Cabrio as a base car for their project. The most fascinating part of the car is now not the folding roof, but the long rear diffuser and the custom quad exhaust system. The lip of the trunk has also been bestowed with a 3-Piece spoiler in a design that we haven’t seen in a long time. I... [...]

Mercedes just dropped the G65 and G63 AMG models out on the market, but previous models are still getting some love from tuners. Los Angeles based tuner Icon 4x4 Design has gotten hold of a G55 AMG and provided it with an impressive upgrade package. The car has been specially customized for a famous celebrity, but the name of the celebrity is still unknown at this point.
Icon 4X4 Design only chose to update the exterior and interior of this luxury beast because they said that "the stock performance was fine for the customers needs." The tuner started by painting in an impressive 300SL matte silver, then replaced the stock plastics from the side trim, vents, and hood plastic before replacing the stock chrome grill. The tuner also added LED daytime lights, a monster Vision-X LED light bar, rack mounted reverse LED spot lights, and redesigned side market lights with guards.[...]

German tuner, Hofele Design, has earned a stellar reputation as one of the leading Porsche Cayenne tuners in the world. Their program for the Porsche SUV, called the "Cayster GT 670," has been developed for a number of model years for the Cayenne and we’re not the least bit surprised to find out that they’ve released an updated version for the 2012 model.
Made up of a comprehensive aerodynamic body kit to go with a performance program, the 2012 Cayster GT 670 is one Cayenne that has truly been modded to look more aggressive than a standard 2012 Cayenne looks.
The first part of the package is a 14-piece aero kit that includes a number of new "bolt-on" components, including a new front bumper with integrated LED lights, widened wheel arches, a new "PowerDome" hood, new side sills, a rear spoiler and roof wing, and a new rear bumper with its own diffuser. Rounding off the exterior changes are a new set of 20" or 22" alloy wheels that have been finished in either black or silver.
Inside, the German tuner fitted new two-tone "StarLight" leather seats with quilted accents and Hofele Design logos embroidered on the headrests.[...]
