New Year’s is a popular time to make some upgrades in your life. If you feel like it’s time for a car-themed change but want to hold on to your current auto for a bit longer, here are some quality add-ons worth the expense.

AI dash cam
A security camera might cost you in the range of $100-400, but the peace of mind it offers makes it a worthwhile investment. Many of these systems include anti-theft beacons, GPS location, and parked/off AI surveillance features that provide useful footage in the event of a police encounter or a collision.
Upscale speakers
Elevate your listening experience with a high-quality speaker system that will enhance the clarity and dynamic richness of your favorite songs. A couple of speakers that Caraudiologic recommends are the Kicker DS65, and JBL GTO609C. These products will cost you around $100.

Aluminum wheels
Plan on shelling out at least $400 for a set of aluminum wheels — the advantages they offer, though, make them a purposeful purchase. Since aluminum wheels are lighter than steel ones, they’ll boost your vehicle’s efficiency so you can save on gas. Bonus: they put less strain on the braking system because they expend less inertia when spinning so it’s easier to for your vehicle to bring them to a stop.
Limited Slip Differential
If your vehicle doesn’t have a built-in limited slip differential (LSD), it’s a sensible feature to add on if you want some extra traction when driving in wet or challenging conditions. This system transfers power away from a wheel that’s slipping and toward the wheels that have a better grip. You can expect to pay anywhere from $600-1,200 on an LSD.
