Part of the fun of owning a car is giving it your own look.
Sure, some cars come fully equipped with all the bells and whistles, but they
lack one thing: your personal touch. Starting back in the 1950s when customizing
cars really took off, enthusiasts have been modifying their cars to suit their
own purposes. Let’s take a look at some ways you can make your car a real stand
out.
Under the Hood: The most obvious customizing
for your engine compartment is a cold air intake, designed to increase power to
the engine. A cold air intake changes the appearance of your car’s engine bay
with custom colors such as rad red, silver, chrome, powder coated blue, and
more.
On the Hood: Hood protectors, also known as
car bras, will give your car a bold, aggressive, and cool look. Other ideas
include installing hood scoops and vents.
Up Front: Fender flares, bumper protectors,
front fascia, and head light covers are all the rage. Add in custom fitted fog
lights and you have a real show stopper on your hands.
To the Sides:Paintable rear side window
covers will distinguish your model from all cars out there. Paintable side
skirts are another crowd pleaser.
Bringing up the
Rear: Altezza style tail light lens assemblies, which are available in
chrome or paintable black. Some motorists are opting for paintable or blacked
out tail light covers too for that special look. Adding a spoiler or a rear
skirt are two additional awesome looking accessories for any car.
Under it All: Performance exhaust systems
are all the rage. They are expensive but worth it in many driver’s eyes.
Increased performance, a better look, and a million mile warranty are some of
the appeals of this mod.
On the Inside: Who said floor mats or floor
liners have to be boring? Custom fitted Highland floor mats or Husky cargo
liners give your interior a clean, sharp look and protect expensive carpeting
and flooring. Seat covers, shifter knobs, and gauge covers are all popular
add-ons with owners today.
To the Wheels: Some cars are now custom
fitted with wheel spacers which permit wheel stance to be widened, thereby
improving handling. Wheel dust shields are also popular to help keep alloys and
tires clean.
So, there you have it. Manufacturers of custom fitting
accessories have been burning the midnight oil to bring to you products that can
truly change the appearance of your car. Indeed, some models -- including the
Honda Civic -- have over 200 custom designed accessories available. The more
popular the car, the more likely your choices will be greater.
