Between washing your vehicle and waxing the surface, there are very few ways to keep your car looking fresh, new and attractive. However, if you’re willing to spend a little bit of extra money here and there, you can get plenty of cosmetic upgrades that will make your vehicle look stunning.
It’s important to note that the current state of your car will play a big part in how customisable it is, and ultimately how much better it will look. For instance, if you currently drive a BMW, then you probably don’t want to ruin it by adding custom paints and decals if it looks fantastic already. On the contrary, trying to make a decade-old car you bought for cheap look like a luxury car is a bad idea and probably won’t work.
Whatever you currently drive, here are five different cosmetic upgrades that can actually serve a purpose as well, making them worth every penny you pay.
Aftermarket Seats
The seats of your vehicle are important because they keep your bottom comfortable as you drive, and as we all know, comfort can go a long way. If your car is fairly fast, then you’ll want better seats to help you stay put while you’re driving. A good seat will help support your entire body, making them fantastic for drivers who experience problems with their posture. To make them even more attractive, they also look fantastic with a wide range of colours, designs and accessories.
New Wheels
Replacing both the wheels and the rims is a fantastic choice when you want to give your vehicle a cosmetic upgrade. Wheels have to be replaced every few years because they eventually start to wear down and offer less performance. Aftermarket wheels can also improve handling and reduce the overall weight of your vehicle, not to mention they also look stunning.
Sponsor Decals
If you’ve installed aftermarket parts in your vehicle, then it’s only natural to want to add custom decals of the manufacturers. You might also want to add decals if you’re sponsored by certain companies, though this is usually reserved for people who are in the motorsport industry. However, that doesn’t mean you can’t get amazing car wraps for your vehicle. These are large graphic vinyl wraps that can be used to add decals, and they can be cut down to size to fit just a section of your vehicle.
Custom Paint
If car wraps are a little too flashy for your taste, then a paint job can serve the same purpose at a much lower cost. Painting your vehicle can make it look fresh and new, and you can give it a variety of different finishes to suit your personal tastes.
Window Tinting
If you’ve seen those vehicles with blacked out windows, then it’s because the owner got a window tinting job done. Although completely blacked out windows are illegal, slight tints are acceptable and can make your vehicle look great. Tinted windows also reduce the amount of sunlight that enters your car, keeping you cool during the upcoming summer. It even helps to protect your upholstery and gives you privacy while driving.
