July 2025 Auto Styling Archive – What We Covered This Month

July was packed with practical guides and hard‑won facts for anyone who loves tweaking their ride. From how a body kit can change performance to the newest virtual car‑customising apps, we broke down the topics that matter most to everyday enthusiasts. Below is a quick run‑through of each post, plus some extra tips you can use right now.

Performance, Aerodynamics & Safety

We started the month with a deep dive into body kits. The article “Do Body Kits Affect Car Performance?” showed real‑world data on aerodynamics, weight, and the difference between street and track kits. The takeaway? A well‑designed kit can boost downforce without a big speed penalty, but cheap, heavy kits may hurt acceleration.

Wheel spacers got their own spotlight in “Do I Need an Alignment After Installing Wheel Spacers?” The short answer: yes, a proper alignment ensures safe handling and tire wear. We walked through the exact steps you should take after the spacers are on, plus examples of what can go wrong if you skip it.

Carbon fiber durability was another hot topic. In “Does Carbon Fiber Crack Over Time?” we explained how UV exposure, impact and improper installation lead to cracks. Simple maintenance tricks—like regular cleaning and avoiding harsh chemicals—can extend the life of those pricey panels.

Tech, Styling & Everyday Tips

Tech lovers got a guide to the best virtual car‑customising tools. “Top Apps for Customizing Your Car” listed three 3‑D configurators that let you see a paint job or body kit on your phone before you buy. You can even export the designs to share with friends or a shop.

We also tackled everyday styling questions. The piece on “What Does a Body Kit Include?” broke down each component—from front bumper to rear diffuser—so you know exactly what you’re buying. Meanwhile, the showdown between coilovers and lowering springs in “Coilovers vs Lowering Springs” helped readers pick the right drop for their driving style.

Safety and legality didn’t get ignored. We explained why purple headlights are illegal, the strictest US tint laws, and whether MagnaFlow exhausts are street legal in Australia. Knowing the rules saves you from fines and keeps you on the road.

Finally, we gave you quick maintenance hacks: how often to clean alloy wheels, whether a Magic Eraser can really erase scratches, and if 20,000 lumens is too bright for home projectors. Each tip is backed by real data and easy steps you can follow tonight.

Whether you’re planning a big build or just want to keep your car looking sharp, July’s posts give you solid facts and actionable advice. Bookmark the topics that match your project and start applying the tips today.
