If you’ve just got a new car and want it to feel more like it’s your own, then getting some car mods can be a great way to go about it. However, oftentimes these car mods can be expensive and only really affordable to those who are really enthusiastic about it. Not everyone wants to spend a fortune on their car, and that’s fine – there are still plenty of car mods you can consider to give it that personal touch, without emptying your pockets!
Personal plates
When it comes to expressing yourself through your vehicle, there are no real rules as long as you stay within what’s road legal. Your license plate is completely fine to have personalized, so long as it’s properly registered and done correctly. Sure, there are a few restrictions behind what you can have displayed on your reg plates, but it can be a nice and cheap way to make your car a little bit more unique – while saying something a little more about yourself. It’s not the flashiest car mod of all time, but they’re an easy way to make your car feel more like you, without ruining its look.
Seat covers
If you’ve bought a used car, you might be concerned about the interior. Unless it’s been meticulously cared for, you can expect any number of scratches, tears, or other forms of damage to the upholstery, and it’s generally not a great look. If you’re trying to take pride in your car, you can solve that issue with some tasteful seat covers! There are plenty of different designs to choose from, so if you’ve always wanted that leather look for your seats, now’s your time to get it.
Air-fresheners
It doesn’t really get simpler than keeping an air freshener in your car, and while it doesn’t do anything to the look – it will help to give it a new and more pleasant smell. Used cars will often smell like their previous owners, but you can quickly handle that by keeping air fresheners in your car, for an incredibly small cost!
Phone/Smart device holder
One of the bigger issues with older car models is that you lack the modern features that you might expect from a car that was made recently. If you’re often relying on a navigation system, then you’re going to have a hard time with an older car model. There’s no infotainment, or built-in navigation system, so a phone holder can go a long way for you. Simply stick it to your dashboard, and it will hold your phone while it displays the directions of your journey!
Steering wheel cover
Some might say it’s cheesy, but it really depends on the car that you’re putting it in. Not only that, but steering wheels come in all different colors and designs, so you have your pick of what you feel will match your car best. It protects the steering wheel underneath, and it can make your car just a little bit more interesting, for a very low cost.
Custom floor mats
What better way to match your new steering wheel cover than some custom floor mats? It’s important to consider that poorly made floor mats can be dangerous, especially if you’ve installed them wrong – or they don’t fit the car properly. These floor mats need to be unobtrusive so that they don’t block the pedals while you’re driving. Having pedals get stuck can easily cause an accident, so make sure you’ve got ones that are just right for your car.
Not only are they great for decoration, but the floor of your car gets a lot of wear and tear, so it’s great to have something to cover it up and prevent long-term damage. No more worrying about your car after a rainy day, or if you’ve got mud on your boots. That can’t always be avoided, and these mats are the perfect solution.
A custom shift knob
While they’re not the most popular car mod to make anymore, these can be a fun way to personalize the inside of your car. It can be anything that fits into your hand, but make sure you’re comfortable with it before you take it out for a drive. Something that has a lot of harsh edges can be sharp and may take away from your confidence when shifting gears. If you’re not looking for a whole new knob, there are covers, too. A cover can add just as much personality but at a fraction of the cost.
