Simple Ways To Customize Your Car
Being a car enthusiast isn’t just about cruising around busy streets and flaunting your hot ride to bypassers. It also involves regular car maintenance: keeping it clean, installing the upgrades and car customizations.
There’s so much you could do when it comes to car customization that it is tricky to pick what works best for you. The last thing you want is for your car to look tacky with out-of-trend decals and paint jobs. The key to making your car the best looking on the block is keeping up with the trends in the car community. Research isn’t your thing? No worries. We went ahead and put together seven ways you can amp up your ride. Let’s get into it.
1. Headlight covers
Headlight covers serve two major purposes – protect your headlights and change the color of your headlights. There are two major types of headlight covers: plastic covers and film covers. This is a great option for people that need to customize their car while on a budget.
2. Car decals
Decals are an excellent way to customize your car if you are confident in what you want for the overall aesthetic of your car. Car decals represent your personality and are a great way to make you and your car stand out! Currently, we’ve been seeing a lot of minimalist decals out on the road.
As an added plus, they are super easy to install! Just start by choosing a spot for decal installation and cleaning the spot thoroughly before pasting the decal.
3. Custom paint
If the minor customizations don’t cut it for you, you can go ahead and paint your whole car. Before you go ahead and paint your car, you need to know that this is a very tedious job. While it is possible to do it yourself, we really do recommend taking your car to a professional. You don’t want your entire car peeling paint whenever it rains.
4. Custom upholstery
While you may go for bright colors for the custom paint job, we suggest staying away from loud colors when it comes to upholstery. Now that your car looks like a dream from the outside, you can bring things up to pace on the interior as well. Keep it classic; stay away from flags and cartoon characters.
5. Interior LED lights
Another customization you can go for is installing LED lights for your car interior. You can get a glowy neon wire and borderline your dashboard with it. Or, why not buy remote-control LED strip lights and install them right below your dashboard. This allows you to vibe and cruise with RGB lights installed in your car’s interior. Our favorite part about these? You can control the brightness, color and even sync them to pulse to the beat of the music you play.
6. Fog lights
Fog lights are normally installed on the front bumper of your car. Not only do they customize the front of your car, but they also help you increase your visibility. There is absolutely nothing worse than feeling blind when you are driving in heavy rain or fog.
7. Sunroof installation
Sunroofs aren’t for everybody but if you live in a sunny place then it is an absolute must-have. Before you get your sunroof installed you should be sure that you want one, as they are extremely difficult to remove.
The Bottom Line
Completely redoing your car’s design can cost you a pretty penny; however, it doesn’t have to be expensive! Many of the ideas we shared with you are easy and cheap to do yourself (such as the LED car interior lights) — just remember your limits. and going for engine upgrades altogether may cost you a lot. With that being said, you should make your car uniquely yours.
