Adding custom options to your interior can help you have the great looking ride that you want. However, if you have never ventured into the world of interior customization, you may have several questions. For instance, what types of items are available? How difficult are these items to install? Here are some of the most popular options for interior customization, as well as a few tips to help you through installation.
Fire Extinguishers – Believe it or not, a fire extinguisher is one of the most popular ways to customize the interior of your ride. Nothing screams “racecar” quite as loudly as a custom fire extinguisher mounted in your hatch or back seat. You’ll find numerous colors to choose from, giving you a wide range of custom options.
Steering Wheels: Race inspired steering wheels are enormously popular. Not only do they provide a great look, but they can assist with performance, as well. Numerous companies make custom steering wheels, including the likes of Mugen and Sparco. Steering wheel installation is not as simple and straightforward as you might think. You will need to ensure that you purchase a hub adapter (these are sold separately most of the time), in order to ensure the right fit. In addition, you will need some special tools for installation. A body shop can make short work of the installation, though.
Racing Seats: Racing seats are an excellent way to get the look you want. You’ll also find that they are far more comfortable that your OEM seats, hugging your body for comfort and safety. In addition, 5-point racing harnesses and other options are available for use with them. When purchasing your seat, make sure that you get the right seat bracket/track assembly. If you just want a different look, you can find race inspired seat covers that look great.
Shifter Knobs: Changing your shifter knob will give you a great custom look. You can choose from a number of different styles, including brushed nickel, billet aluminum and cast options. Cast shift knobs are available in colors and unique shapes for your needs. Carbon fiber, leather wrapped handles, neon handles and many other options can knock up the style of your ride.
Shift Boots: Shift boots are a great addition to a custom shift knob. Two-tone leather boots are available, as are monogrammed and branded options. Neon wires add additional dimension and hot looks to these accessories. In addition, these are one of the simplest ways to customize the look of your ride.
Custom Pedals: Why stick with your dull and boring OEM pedals? You can choose custom brake, clutch and gas pedals in a wide range of styles and colors. Aluminum, colored aluminum, diamond plate patterns and many other options are available for your needs. Installation usually involves little more than tightening a few nuts and bolts, allowing you to finish in mere minutes.
There are many other ways to customize the interior of your ride. Custom lights, e-brake handles, door inserts and other items all offer you a great way to change the look of your car.
