Customization options are available for many vehicles in Driver: Parallel Lines.

The player is able to upgrade vehicles they have driven or stored in any of their garages with the "Buy Parts" option.

Description[]

Through several categories, many features and upgrades can be made to almost every vehicle in-game, from performance to bodywork designs. The prices vary depending on the type of modification installed, however the prices remain the same for each modification across every car in-game.

Every obtainable vehicle in Driver: Parallel Lines can have at least 1 category of modifications applied to it. Note that, in order to modify a vehicle, it has to be undamaged.

NOTE: In the 2006 Era, all of the items are 10x more expensive.

Categories[]

Bodywork[]

Bodywork modifications include four liveries and visual modifications unique to each vehicle. They typically feature unique parts, such as spoilers, skirts, bug-catchers and diffusers, as well as a unique themed-livery.

Of all 93 obtainable vehicles in-game, 64 of the vehicles can have bodywork modifications applied to them. All racer counterparts are omitted from having bodywork modifications due to them already featuring what would typically classify as one. Other notable vehicles that lack bodywork modifications are the Punk variants of vehicles and two prison institute vehicles.

NOTE: All bodywork installments cost $1,000 in the 1978 era or $10,000 in the 2006 era.

Performance Parts[]

To the performance upgrades belong the upgrades that influence a vehicles behavior. Performance upgrades feature engine upgrades, nitrous and adjustable springs, shocks, ride height and brake strength.

Engine[]

Engine upgrades increase both the top speed and the acceleration of a vehicle. The game uses thrust to indicate the power of an engine. Thrust is basically the propulsive force delivered by the engine and causes the acceleration. Note that a 10% increase in thrust does not necessarily mean the car gains 10% faster acceleration - acceleration is not proportionally affected by upgrades. Engine upgrade 1 increases the stock top speed by 10%, upgrade 2 increases the current top speed by 10%, and upgrade 3 increases the current top speed by 5%.

Upgrade Cost Effect
Stage1-DPL-Icon $200 10% increase in thrust and top speed
Stage2-DPL-Icon $500 10% increase in thrust and top speed
Stage3-DPL-Icon $1,000 5% increase in thrust and top speed
NitroKit-DPL-Icon $500 Equips the vehicle with a nitrous injection kit which allows to buy nitro shots

Suspension and brakes[]

The ‘Suspension and brakes’ category features upgrades that make it possible to adjust several aspects of a vehicle. Once equipped, they can be tuned on the test track, which can be accessed through the garage. These features give the car much better suspension, and allow the car to adjust to the terrain and gradient of the road, as well as give the better much more responsive brakes.

Upgrade Cost Effect
Springs-DPL-Icon $200 Unlocks adjustable springs
Shocks-DPL-Icon $200 Unlocks adjustable shocks
RideHeight-DPL-Icon $200 Unlocks adjustable ride height
Brakes-DPL-Icon $200 Unlocks adjustable brakes

Nitro shots[]

Once the Nitrous injection kit is equipped, nitro shots can be added to the vehicle. A nitro shot provides a boost for a certain amount of time. This results in a faster acceleration and allows a car to reach a temporarily higher top speed than usual.

Upgrade Cost Effect
Nitro10-DPL-Icon $100 Adds a ten-second nitro boost
Nitro20-DPL-Icon $200 Adds a twenty-second nitro boost
Nitro40-DPL-Icon $400 Adds a forty-second nitro boost

Accessories[]

Adding accessories to a vehicle can be beneficial in pursuits. For example, bulletproof tires prevent the tires from getting penetrated by bullets and therefore take away the risk of slowing down due to a puncture.

Upgrade Cost Effect
BulletProofGlass-DPL-Icon $300 Makes the windows of the vehicle bulletproof
TintedGlass-DPL-Icon $100 Gives the windows of the vehicle a darker tone[1]
BulletProofTires-DPL-Icon $150 Makes the tires of the vehicle bulletproof

Respray[]

Respraying a vehicle allows the player to apply their own unique touch to it. A vehicle can be resprayed in its entirety, but there are also vehicles on which individual parts can be resprayed. When a vehicle is able to be resprayed, the player can apply one of the six predefined colors to the vehicle or they can compose their own color by clicking on the icon with the three primary colored dots on it.

Each era offers a set of 6 pre-defined colors, both containing white and black. Alternatively, the player can use the RGB option to create their own color with bars for red, green and blue. The bars can be increased or decreased independently to mix different colors.

In the 1978 era, the beige option actually produces a yellow painted color.

In the Xbox and PlayStation 2 versions of the game, the RGB color bars are instead illustrated as dots.

Upgrade Cost Effect
Base Base $40 (1978 era)
$400 (2006 era)

Rear Bumper Rear Bumper $20 (1978 era)

Resprays the vehicle's rear bumper
Bonnet Bonnet $20 (1978 era)
$200 (2006 era)

Front Bumper Front Bumper $20 (1978 era)
$200 (2006 era)

The following vehicles can have the Rear Bumper, Front Bumper and Bonnet resprayed separately. No vehicles in the 1978 era can have their rear bumper resprayed separately.
