Introduction

Customization is where Drag Drive Simulator really shines. Beyond buying a vehicle, you can build a one-of-a-kind ride: change the exhaust pipe to alter the look and sound, tune the DRL (daytime running light) type and color, adjust the indicator flash rate, lower the suspension, and use the improved kickstand system that follows it. Finish everything with paint, wraps, decals, rims and underglow for a motorshow-ready presentation. This page covers the confirmed customization systems from community sources, the order in which you should mod your ride, which parts matter for performance versus looks, and how to plan a build that stands out at the motorshow. Whether you are going for a subtle street look or a wild show build, the customization guide helps you spend your RP on parts that match your vision.

Suspension + Kickstand

Ride height tuning with a kickstand that follows the stance

What It DoesLowers or raises the ride height; the kickstand adjusts to match so parking still looks realistic.
Cost TypeRP. One of the most praised details in community videos for extreme stances.
Best ForStance builders and motorshow competitors who want a dramatic, low-slung look.
B

Paint / Wraps / Underglow

The finishing touches that complete a motorshow build

What It DoesChanges body color, adds graphics and gives your ride a glow effect for the final presentation.

Best ForPlayers who want their ride to feel custom even before bigger visual upgrades are installed.
B

Kickstand

The stand that follows your suspension height for realistic parking

What It DoesAdjusts automatically with the suspension setting so a lowered or raised bike still parks with a natural lean.
Cost TypeRP. Best combined with suspension work rather than bought on its own.
Best ForMotorshow photography — a correctly parked stance makes every shot look intentional and polished.
B

Rims & Underglow

Wheel styling and glow effects for the final presentation

What It DoesChanges the rim design and adds a colored glow beneath the vehicle for a show-car finish.
Cost TypeRP. Among the pricier cosmetic items, so budget them for the last stage of a build.
Best ForNight-time cruising and motorshow events where glow and wheel style get the most attention.

Core Mechanics

Customization in Drag Drive Simulator is a layered system. You start with the exhaust pipe, which changes both the look and the sound of your vehicle — a favorite first mod in community videos. The DRL system lets you choose the type and color of the daytime running lights, which changes how your ride looks at night and in photos. The indicator flash rate is a unique touch that lets you speed up or slow down your blinkers for a distinctive signal. Suspension lowers or raises the ride height, and the kickstand system follows the suspension so your parked bike looks realistic at any height. Paint, wraps, decals, rims and underglow finish the build. Because each part costs RP, planning your mod order matters: performance-focused players may skip visual parts early, while motorshow builders budget for the full package.

Advantages

Deep customization makes your ride feel personal and gives you a long-term RP goal beyond just buying vehicles. Changing exhaust pipes, DRL colors and indicator flash rates are quick wins that immediately set your bike apart from stock. The suspension and kickstand interaction adds realism that roleplay and motorshow players love. Because customization is visual-first, it is also a great way to enjoy the game while your RP grows — every mod session is progress even when you are not grinding. For the motorshow crowd, a fully built ride is a badge of dedication that other players can see, and community showcase videos prove that a well-planned build stands out.

Challenges

Customization parts are mostly visual, so they do not directly improve your drag race times or job pay. Spending too much RP on mods early can delay your vehicle upgrades and slow your progression. Some parts, like underglow and wraps, may have limited visibility on smaller screens or in bright light. Exact part prices and available colors are community-reported rather than officially documented, so costs can change between updates. New players should treat customization as a reward for solid progression instead of a first priority, and motorshow builders should budget carefully to avoid stalling their income. If you enjoy racing competitively, plan your mod purchases around your vehicle budget so cosmetic spending never delays your next performance upgrade.

Frequently Asked Questions

What should I customize first?+
Start with the exhaust pipe — it is the most visible change and alters both look and sound for a relatively small RP cost. Next, tune your DRL type and color so your ride stands out at night, then adjust the suspension and kickstand for the right stance. Save paint, wraps and underglow for after your core mods are done, since they are the finishing touches on a build.
Does customization improve performance?+
Most customization parts are cosmetic — exhaust pipes, DRL colors, indicators, paint and underglow change appearance rather than speed. Suspension changes the stance and look, which some players believe affects handling feel, but community data focuses on the visual results. If your goal is faster drag races, prioritize vehicle upgrades over visual mods first.
How does the kickstand follow suspension?+
The improved kickstand system matches the height of your suspension setting. If you lower your ride, the kickstand shortens so your bike still parks realistically; if you raise it, the kickstand adjusts to match. This small interaction is one of the most praised details in community videos because it makes extreme stances still look natural when parked.

Quick Tips

💡

Test your DRL colors at night before committing — the same color looks different in daylight and under streetlights, and night photos show off the glow best. Community showcase videos are a great reference for which colors pop on which vehicles. Take a quick photo or note the color at night before you buy, because returning to swap colors later costs extra RP and slows down your build progress.

💡

Budget mods around a theme instead of buying random parts — a cohesive look (matching DRL, exhaust and underglow) always reads better at the motorshow than a pile of mismatched upgrades. Plan the build before you spend so your RP goes further. Keeping a clear vision also makes future updates easier — when the catalog expands, you know exactly which new part completes your existing theme instead of starting over.

💡

Do the cheap visual mods early for motivation, but keep a reserve for performance. An exhaust pipe change and a DRL recolor are affordable dopamine hits, while your RP bank stays healthy for the next vehicle purchase or drag upgrade. A good rule is to finish one full visual pass before starting another, and to track your RP so every mod session still leaves enough balance for the next vehicle upgrade.
