If you’re reading this, chances are you don’t like the current appearance of your car and you want something more vibrant. Perhaps it’s your usual day-to-day car or an old one that needs a lift. We have compiled some easy suggestions to help give your car that custom exterior, interior, and features you have been craving.

​​​​DIY tips to transform your car

Revamp the interior and exterior

Tired of the dull-looking paint or dashboard, steering wheel, and seats in your car? You can actually do an overhaul of the interior and exterior of your car to give it a brand new look.  On the outside, for example, you can give it a fresh coat of paint, add tinted windows, add fancy lighting, etc. Inside you can refurbish the steering wheel to keep your hands from burning or freezing. You can also add a nice floor mat to allow you that soft cushion and prevent dirt from spreading. The mats that come with your car will often have the same color but you can go the extra mile and choose different colors and designs for an upgrade. You can also revamp other upholstery like the seat covers, storage spaces, the dashboard, etc.

Tips:

  • Have a plan before revamping your car
  • Do a bit of research to get some pimp my ride ideas that are suited for your car model
  • Find the right dealers for legit auto parts, especially if you are sourcing for aftermarket products for the car upgrade. You can check on Autozone stores offers to help save on spare parts for the car transformation project. Coupons, in particular, are a great way to get discounts on auto parts purchases.

Use artwork

You can also add a bit of personality on your ride by using a few creative art pieces and artwork like stickers, graffiti, decorative lighting, etc. The beauty is that there are hundreds of art pieces you can use to accessorize your car both on the interior and exterior. Also, if you are skilled in handcrafting, you can showcase your own skills with custom artwork to pimp your ride.

Install a mobile office  

If you use your car for office work and you have a spacious car model, then why not install a mobile office in your car? You can turn your car into an office using clever hacks that create power ports and spaces where you can write and use gadgets like laptops, tablets, etc. That way, you will be able to stay productive and connected while on the road. 

Set a booster seat for your canine buddy

There is no reason why you should leave your pet behind during the next road trip. Get a booster seat and you are good to go! If you are afraid that your buddy will drop fur on the seats then a booster seat will help keep the puppy in position as you tag it along.

Buy sleeping accessories

Ever had a long trip and had to sleep in the car for a while? Instead of leaning on the bare seats, buy a car pillow and enjoy the nap. It will help you to sleep comfortably without experiencing issues like neck pain afterward. An electric traveling blanket warms you during the chilly weather.

These are just but a few suggestions but you can always do some research on pimp my ride ideas plus you can also get creative! Then get to work and turn that ride around with a customized look and feel of your choice.
