If you’re looking to improve your car's appearance, there are a few things you can do that are relatively simple. Take your vehicle to the next level with these simple modifications.

Steering wheel

Replacing the steering wheel on your car is fairly simple; it can also improve how your car drives and handles. A smaller steering wheel enables you to turn quicker and achieve more precision driving through a better grip. There is a huge range of different styles and sizes of steering wheels to choose from online. You can replace most steering wheels with tools you’re likely to have in your toolbox, making this mod even cheaper.

Gear knob

Another part of your car that you use all the time is the gear knob. Changing your gear knob can alter your whole driving experience and the look of the interior of your car. Some gear knobs are designed to enable you to shift quickly through your gears to improve speed and the driving experience. Others are designed to feel great in your hand and create a focal point for your vehicle. Changing your gear knob can be as simple as screwing the old one off and screwing the new one in. Changing your gear knob is a really quick change that creates a unique driving experience.

Pedals

Changing your pedals is another quick modification that can improve your driving experience. Not only do racing pedals look the part, they can make driving your car and changing gear more comfortable, and it also improves the feel of the pedal. Look out for silver metal racing pedal sets that replace the boring black rubber pedals you get in most cars; they look great and are easy to install. Most pedal sets can be installed at home with a few tools you’ll have in your toolbox already. When replacing pedals, ensure they’re tight to prevent any issues with them coming loose during driving.

Interior lights

Another way to enhance your vehicle is to alter the interior lights. You can buy and fit various coloured LED lights into your car. Choosing coloured lights is a great way to add more colour and enhance the overall look of your car. Interior lights are fairly easy to install, but avoid going too crazy and picking too many colours as this can make your car cabin look tacky.

Alloys

A modification that can easily change the look and feel of the exterior of your vehicle is wheel alloys. Decent alloys can completely change the face of a car. They’re eye-catching and add a premium look to your vehicle. There are many different styles and colours you can choose between when it comes to new alloys. If you have experience, you can fit alloys yourself at home. If you’re unsure, it's best to go to a professional who can fit your alloys and balance your wheels.

Window deflectors

Window deflectors can improve your car's performance and the look of your vehicle. This relatively cheap modification will make your vehicle more aerodynamic, decreasing the drag on your car. Most window deflectors, also known as rain guards, are simple to fit yourself at home. They also look great and make your car feel more sports-like.

Window tints

Tinting your windows looks cool, adds privacy and protects you from the sun. Many different places will add tints to your windows for a minimal cost. You can also buy kits so you can install your own window tints at home. Before buying window tints, make sure the ones you choose to purchase are legal where you live. Rules differ between countries; avoid being stopped by law enforcement by choosing legal window tints.

Modifying your car is fun, and it can be easy if you choose simple mods you can achieve yourself at home. Once you start making changes to the interior, exterior and performance of your vehicle, it can be hard to stop. Even small changes can make a big difference and improve the overall look of your ride. If you’re ever unsure about the parts you’re buying or how to install them check with the seller or a professional who will be able to advise.
