English term or phrase: auto tuner
An auto tuner is a person who takes a car and does all kinds of improvements to it. They put all kind of cosmetic things on them like: spoilers, ground effects, special headlights, air scoops, etc.; but they also change the suspension, tires, and even the performance of the car. They end up with a swooped-up car for auto shows.
