| Customer Rating: | | This book is a waste of paper, shelf space, and publishing rights. The book is mediocre at best showing you what can be done to cars in the most general sense of the word. It does not show you anything specific, there are no instructions or useful hints. It tells you what the shop is called to do a certain job. All of the information here can be found online for free if one looks for five minutes on google. This book has nothing useful. The only positive thing about this book is that it has a lot of pretty pictures for individuals who cannot stand to be a true automotive manual/guide/handbook for more than two sentences. |

Reference book
My book is about how to do custom car projects.
This book shows how to turn an ordinary car into a tuner. It has plenty of projects such as body kits, custom paint and graphics, nitrous oxide injection, and lots of other things. The book goes into detail about how much money you will need for each project, how much skill you need, how much time it will take up, stuff like that. It has great explanations and pictures to show what the finished product should look like.
My opinion on this book is that if you're a car enthusiast this is the book for you. If you don't have much experience with cars you will defiantly need help. Another thing you will need is a job to pay for the parts. Patience is something to have also, I like to think of the cars as big models. I find this book very interesting because I love cars and I want mine to look just as good. One thing I didn't like about this book is how they didn't get into engines at all. I was hoping to learn about the different kinds of engines and what I should get for my car. The makers of this book should make another book for all engines. I'm all about the speed of the car first, then the look. I was very disappointed to find out that this book was all for looks. The only thing they have that contributes to speed is the fact that they show how to install nitrous oxide.
Overall this is a good book for looks, I will defiantly use it after I get the right engine in my car. I will also need to get a job sometime soon too, because there are some prices in here I don't even come close to having.
