Car Interior Accessories
Car interior accessories can make a dull interior come alive. Have a look at just some of the accessories available below. This just a general guide to show you what you can do to your cars interior.
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, is the leather perforated type that you weave/strap 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:
An easy, cheap styling accessory for your car. Again mostly for the older cars, as most modern cars either have a flatter door pin or no door pin at all.
Meters, Gauges, Pods And Dials:
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, the last things you want is your foot slipping off the pedals.
Interior/exterior lights:
There are dozens of different light systems for the interior, from changing your original bulbs, to under dash lights and exterior show lights, in fact just about anywhere you want to put them. Note: Check with your countries law, especially with the exterior lights.
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 them.
