CUSTOMIZING YOUR CAR
A new breed of low-slung street machines has taken over the roads. Today's lightweight alloy and carbon-fiber tuners use revolutionary engine modifications to propel them to absurd speeds. Their bold visual effects turn heads, even when moving at a crawl.
SELECT A CAR
Your ride makes or breaks your reputation in Underground. Looks are important, but no one pays much attention to any car if it's running dead last.
MAKE AND MODEL
Browse through the available cars but don't think of them as finished products. With a few wins under your belt you'll be customizing these base vehicles into exquisite street machines that car dealers can barely recognize.
•
When picking a car, check out the Acceleration, Top Speed, and Handling ratings at the bottom of the screen. Performance modifications can improve these characteristics later, but you'll need to win some races with your stock vehicle in order to fund any serious work under the hood.
CUSTOMIZING
New cars are nice at the showroom, but there's plenty of room for improvement once they hit the streets. Make your car your own with Need for Speed Underground's extraordinary customization process. A vast array of modifications is available for your ride if you've got the bank, that is.
To customize a Quick Race car, select CUSTOMIZE RIDE from the Main menu.
TO CUSTOMIZE YOUR UNDERGROUND CAR
1. Select UNDERGROUND from the Main menu and press the A Button. The Underground menu appears.
