Games like 3D Tuning

3D Tuning is a car customization tool: you pick a model and visually mod it with body kits, paint, wheels, and stance, with no racing involved. The closest PC alternatives fall into two groups: sandbox games where you build and customize cars hands-on (Automation, Car Mechanic Simulator, My Garage), and racers with deep visual customization where you style a car and then drive it (Forza Horizon 5, CarX Street, Need for Speed Heat). The list below runs from the most customization-focused picks to the more drive-it-yourself ones.
