20 Car Accessories That Make You Look Richer Than You Are


A Wealthy Interior

Sometimes, a luxury car is simply out of reach, but that doesn’t mean you can’t make your own car a luxury to be in. There are plenty of high-end and clever accessories that can take your car game to the next level. To help you out with that, this list covers 20 must-have accessories your passengers will love.

1. High-End Seat Covers

If you don’t want to blow thousands on an expensive car, which is totally understandable, then you can spend a hundred or two on high-end seat covers instead. Not only will it make every ride smooth and comfortable, but it’ll leave anyone who hops into your car with a positive impression.

2. A Proper Phone Holder

It’s always so awkward trying to get your phone to sit on a little platform and praying it won’t slide off to the floor when you make a turn. Spare yourself the embarrassment and get a proper phone holder instead. They come in many different designs, and splurging for a durable and high-quality one will add a nice touch of refinement.

3. Car Air Fresheners

This is a no-brainer! Every car needs a car air freshener—it’s just the thing to take the riding experience to the next level. While you can go for those iconic little trees, you can also get something more high-end, like those slow-releasing vent clips.

4. Cup Holder Inserts

A little goes a long way, and cars are so easily customizable. Instead of bearing through the boring integrated plastic cup holders, add a bit of polish with custom inserts. Some even come with heated designs for insulation—and nothing gets more luxurious than that.

5. Interior LED Lights

LED lights add another fun touch, and as long as you don’t go too overboard, they’ll come across as quite classy. These kits can range from $20 to $100, but are totally worth it, letting you light up the inside of your car in beautiful blues or luxurious golds.

6. Floor Mats

There’s something about floor mats that makes your car look so much more put together. There are essentially three kinds of mats to choose from: the cheap-looking but durable rubber mats, the soft and complementing carpet mats, and the super high-end plush mats that usually come with rubber trunks for easy spill management.

7. A Blanket

This may seem like a weird one, but think of all the times you or one of your passengers could use a blanket. It’s pretty common for cars to be cold, and a nice plush or velvety blanket just adds a layer of coziness no one would ever expect—but everyone would certainly love.

8. Sun Shades

Sometimes practicality and luxury just go hand in hand. You wouldn’t expect all these accessories in a cheap person’s car, even though they’re super useful. With that in mind, consider getting sunshades, as they provide a nice level of protection and privacy.

9. Seat Gap Filler

Like previously mentioned, another thing you wouldn’t expect to find in most cars is a seat gap filler. Not only will it make losing your phone between the seats impossible, but it gives your interior a polished and completed look.

10. Bag Hooks

Wealthy people don’t just stash their bags on the passenger seat or crowd the back seat. Instead, to make things more organized and refined, you can buy little hooks to stick to the back of headrests. This way, you can hang the bags, and they don’t have to touch the floor.

11. Steering Wheel Covers

Nowadays, some cars come with steering wheel covers, and it’s not too difficult to get your hands on a plain black rubber one. But where’s the fun in that? To elevate your car game, opt for a classic leather look or something velvety and smooth to give it that luxurious and timeless feel.

12. Dash Accessories

If you’re a big fan of customization and don’t mind a little organized clutter, then adding a few accent pieces to your dash is a nice touch. You can choose something luxurious and high-end, like gold or silver-plated car models, or just keep it classic and get a hula girl.

13. Rear-View Mirror Accessories

The dash isn’t the only area that benefits from accessories. You’ve probably seen those classic fuzzy dice hanging from people’s cars. Well, you can essentially hang up whatever you like, but it’s a nice touch that can really complete a look.

14. Back Seat Organizers

It always feels like the back seats get the short end of the stick and are all too easily forgotten. However, a cozy back seat organizer is just the thing you need to make your car seem more comfortable and organized. Instead of choosing one made of rigid plastic, opt for a nicer material.

15. Trunk Organizer

If you do have to stop and get something out of the trunk, the last thing you want your guests seeing is an utter mess littered with long-forgotten shopping bags and takeout containers. Instead, get a trunk organizer that you can easily tuck away and use.

16. An Intellidash

If your car isn’t super high-tech, you can easily give it an upgrade with an Intellidash, which is a touchscreen display that sits atop your dash and provides all sorts of connectivity options from Android Auto to CarPlay.

17. Trash Can

There’s nothing worse than collecting garbage at your feet and in the back seats. Guests won’t appreciate having to move everything aside to find a place to sit. Save both them and yourself the embarrassment by purchasing a little garbage holder instead.

18. Dash Cams

While not necessarily a luxury accessory, a dash cam is something you’d expect to see in cars that are worth something. You’re essentially telling the world you know your car is valuable and you’re willing to protect it, even if it costs up to $100 for a good-quality camera.

19. Overhead Sunglasses Holder

Plenty of people just throw their sunglasses into the glove compartment and call it a day. But having a fixed place to stow your specs is a far cooler option and will certainly make you look put together.

20. Safety Bag

While not the most luxurious thing, there’s nothing worse than being put in an awkward position where your car breaks down or there’s an emergency you’re not prepared for. That’s why many people advise keeping a duffel bag or tote tucked away in the trunk with every little thing you may need, from first aid to handy tools.
