I don't honestly give a damn about adding spoilers or alloy wheels, so here are some car modding ideas that I would like to see instead.
I'm thinking that a car can have one of each type (Armor, Weapons and Special abilities), they would probably be pretty expensive though, so you'd have to be careful, and look after your modified cars to a degree.
These ablilties should be kept if a car is put in a garage, in GTA3 and Vice city, the cars seem to lose their bombs if put in a garage, which kinda sucks.

Armor: Bullet proof.
Flame proof.
Explosion proof.
Dent resistant. (Complete dent-proofing might make a car too tough)


Weapons: Use with the fire key Remote detonation bomb.
"Park, arm, and LEG IT!" bomb.
The bomb that blows up once the engine is started, should also arm if the player is carjacked(In this circumstance should wait a few seconds).
Rockets. (Specially designed to launch cars high into the air)
The ability to drop spike strips behind you.
The ability to drop land mines behind you.
Spiked bumpers.*


Special abilities: Use with the horn key Aquatic ability.*
Turbo. (Probably have a limited supply, could send a large flame out the exhaust whilst being used)
Wings that can come out like in Taxi 2, giving a car dodo-esque physics. (Pressing the horn key should put the wings back in, giving normal physics again)
Anti-carjacking device, flames shoot out from under the car door if someone tries to arrest you or carjack you.*
Jump boost.
Ejector seat with parachute. (Should be obtainable on a helipad or something like that as well, so it can be used with planes and helicopters)


Items marked with an asterix are ones that I'd imagine wouldn't need a key to be pressed.

some of that stuff has already been done.

most of the physical effects you listed (like wings popping out) cannot possibly be done.

Cars are normally made out of many sections that can tear off from impacts, I imagine it might be possible to add an extra car section that switches on or off, it could also be done using misc details (like how some versions of a car have a roof, and some don't, like the stallion and stinger in GTA3, I'm not sure if the vice stallion has some with roofs and some without), Although I'm not entirely sure.

yeah, but then wouldnt some cars have the wings and some cars not?

the only thing i know how to do is to switch the entire car around when youre driving. thats still ugly though.

I think I know what you're talking about, I think that'd be cool.
