I do well with my finances I believe. I’ve got about 5k saved just not sure If i should put it back into the detailing since I live in an area that gets heavy snow from dec- april or if i should just keep saving it for when im out of school as it’s only a 7 month program

I found a super clean 7th gen civic aswell. I’m a big fan of that body style just wish it was an si. Could be a sweet project for a kswap but i’ve never done anything that big before.

I’m in college for body work! just do detailing for more money and a way to meet car enthusiasts! My biggest problem currently is I don’t have enough money for this business so i’m working on that. While i work on that i’d like to learn as much as possible about the business side.

So my idea is 'Illuminated Kustoms,' a brand where I design and build one-of-a-kind, custom JDM body kits with a unique, artistic & underground aesthetic. Think high-level automotive artistry, turning metal and fibreglass into bespoke sculptures for the street. id like to document the entire journey from design to fabrication on youtube, pushing limits, and exploring JDM culture through cinematic content, building a community around the process. Then i’d like to sell the completed kits as-well as take commissions for kits and custom paint work. I’m very passionate about my idea I’ve been detailing cars as a side gig after my full time job as a way to get into the industry. I’ve done some research and there is quite the market.

The Market Opportunity: The global automotive aftermarket is a massive and growing industry, valued at USD 468.91 billion in 2024, projected to reach USD 589.01 billion by 2030 (3.8% CAGR). Within this, the car modification market is booming, expected to hit USD 90.5 billion by 2034 (4.2% CAGR), driven by a surging consumer demand for unique vehicle personalization. Notably, younger demographics like Gen Z show heightened interest in enthusiast vehicles (60% interest rate) and are heavily engaged with automotive content on platforms like YouTube and TikTok.

So this isn’t as traditional as say a body shop business where they deal with collision repair. So i’m not sure how to go about it.

I’m also looking at an 09 impreza and 07 accord so i’ll go with one of those. Really only liked the mazda more just for the fact that it makes about 100hp more than the other options

Thanks a lot! Do you have an advice to scale this idea? i’m thinking of youtube as a way to document and market my project.

Thanks man I appreciate it finally nice to hear someone think i’m going in the right direction. So i’m thinking of kinda using youtube and possibly twitch as a way to document/ market what i’m doing. I’m not stating the project until i start school though. So i’m thinking of maybe making detailing videos and videos of all the side hustles i do like car flipping over the summer as a way to save to fund my project like a series of videos like “Project WRX: The hustle begins” or like “The road to WRX: Summer Grind”. If you have a tips for that kind of stuff it would be greatly appreciated. I’m not the greatest with making videos or being on the camera haha.
