Car Interior Accessories
Car interior accessories can make a dull interior come alive. Have a look at just some of the accessories available below.
Why not take a look at my exterior accessories guide. as well.
Steering wheels:
A smart looking steering wheel, can transform your cars interior. For the driver it’s almost a focal point and you can get a steering wheel for all tastes, from racing styles to classic custom chrome styles. Not so easy to change nowadays on modern cars due to airbag installations, but replacement are still available. Don’t forget the steering boss/adapter may need to be changed.
Steering Wheel Covers:
Lots of these about for those looking for a quick and cheaper change. Saves wearing out the steering wheel, adds style. A good choice for the classic car owner, are the leather perforated type that you weave onto your steering wheel, these provide extra grip and again reduce wear on your steering wheel. Make sure you get a very snug fit for obvious reasons.
Seats:
 
From racing to comfort, bucket to reclining, your choice. Very popular change for the track day car. For those on a budget, why not consider other seats from the same manufacturer, may be from an upgraded or higher model car than yours.
Gear knobs:
 
Another accessory that is directly involved with the driver. The gear knob can be a styling accessory or a practical tool. For the stylists out there, there are all types of gear knobs from golf balls to chrome skulls, to led lit to aluminium pieces of art. For those looking for a better handle on things, there’s ergonomically made leather.
And of course you can buy chrome surrounds for that finishing touch to hold your nice leather gaiter in place.
Door pins:
 
Ok not something I have done, but none the less an easy, cheap styling accessory for your car.
Meters, Gauges, Pods And Dials:
 
Ok for you racer types out there! And actually for the practical people as well. You can buy a gauge for just about anything that can be measured on a car. Adding a dash pod or pillar pod can give your interior that racer look and let you know what your cars up to.
Mats:
Can be a nice easy styling addition to your interior that also protects your carpet. Make sure you get the ones that don’t slip everywhere.
Pedals:
Again, these can give you the racer look and again get the ones with good rubber pads. Last things you want is your foot slipping.
Interior lights:
There are dozens of different light systems for the interior, from dash light colour changes, to under dash lights, in fact anywhere you can put them. I personally think these are very off putting and would only recommend using them in conjunction with your cars normal interior lighting system (ie only come on when the door is open, or with a switch for those who do shows).
There’s loads more accessories out there and too many for me to put down here, but these are some on the most popular. Take a look at some show cars and you can see some people can easily spend as much if not more than the cost of the car when customising their car.
