How to Customize Cars in Need for Speed Unbound

There is no doubt that EA and Criterion Software’s latest title, Need for Speed Unbound is quite a stylish and sleek game. And with it comes the chance for players to dip their own toes into the creative waters and create their own drivable artwork. Getting started though can be quite daunting. So, let’s talk about how to customize cars in Need for Speed Unbound!

How to Customize Cars in Need for Speed Unbound

In order to begin customizing your car, open up the game and either head to Campaign or Lakeshore Online to do so. Each game mode gives you your own unique garage of cars to begin amassing and customizing. From either of them you’ll need to choose Rides from your choices within the Garage.

Once you’ve done that, you’ll be able to begin customizing your cars. You’ll have two different choices of customization; Style and Performance. Style has to do with the look and aesthetics of your vehicle, having nothing to do with how it operates. Performance, however, directly influences the way your car performs and has no effect on visuals.
