Alright, so you've been cruising around and you're ready to make your ride truly yours. This section is all about the cosmetic upgrades you can slap onto your whip to make it stand out. We're talking paint jobs, fancy lights, and all the other bits and bobs that'll get you noticed.

First up, let's talk paint. You've got a whole spectrum of Dark Pearl colors to choose from. Whether you're feeling a classic Dark Pearl Green, a bold Dark Pearl Red, or something a bit more unique like Dark Pearl Magenta or Gold, they all cost $300 and give you 0.20 stars in visual rating. Pick the one that screams 'you'!

Next, we've got the lights. The stock Xenon 4000k are your starting point, costing $200 with a 0.04 stars rating. But if you want to really turn heads, you can upgrade to colored Xenon lights like Red, Blue, Green, Purple, or Yellow for $300 each, bumping your rating to 0.08 stars. Feeling extra flashy? The Bright White, Bright Red, Bright Blue, Bright Green, Bright Purple, and Bright Yellow options will set you back $550 and give you a solid 0.12 stars rating. Go for the brighter ones if you want maximum visual impact.

Want to add some flair to your acceleration? The Nitrous Purge system lets you customize the look of your nitrous. The 'Type 1 all nozzles' option is free ($0) and you unlock it simply by getting Level 1 Nitrous. It's a small touch, but it adds to the overall visual package.

Now, for the bounce! Hydraulics let you get your car hopping. You start with Level 1 hydraulics for $750, giving you 0.20 stars. If you want more bounce, Level 2 costs $1100 for 0.40 stars, and the top-tier Level 3 will run you $1600 for a whopping 0.80 stars. Get ready to bounce!

Finally, let's check out the Trunk Layouts. These affect how your trunk looks when it's open. The 'Standard Layout' is a basic option for $150 with 0.15 stars. If you're going for a more customized look, the 'Tuned Layout' costs $300 and gives you a better 0.30 stars rating. It's all about the details!
