Car customizations can add up, especially when you take your car to the garage to have your modifications done. There are many different ways you can customize your vehicle yourself, though, which can save you some money on labor costs! Here are six DIY ways to upgrade your vehicle.
-
Headlights and Taillights
Customize your headlights and taillights with a few upgrades, including tinted light covers, new LED bulbs, and colored film for your headlight and taillight lenses. There are tons of colors to choose from, including clear white, purple, and pink. Just make sure your new lights and bulb colors adhere to vehicle safety laws.
-
Window Tints
Another DIY customization you can try is window tints. Unless you excel at installing window tint, you’ll need a pro, but you can save some money by purchasing the tint yourself and hiring an independent contractor to install it. There are all sorts of tint options you can consider, including reflective mirror tints.

Car Wraps and Racing Stripes
Are you looking to change up the color of your vehicle but don’t want to spend the money on a paint job? Car wraps are a popular choice among car enthusiasts because they’re cheaper than a traditional paint job, they’re easy to install, and you can choose from tons of solid colors and patterns to fit your style. You can also add some racing stripes down the center of your vehicle or opt for partial stripes only on the hood.
-
LED Interior Lighting
Light up the interior of your car with an LED interior lighting kit. Accent your trims, dash, or floorboards with a nice selection of colors and intensities. For more ambient lighting, modify your interior with muted LED colors like purple, violet, or dark blue, or make the inside of your car pop with neon green or yellow. You can also find colored LED bulbs for your dome light, too, if you want to modify the lighting even more.
-
Seat Covers
Bump up the interior appeal of your car with custom seat covers. You have your choice of colors, patterns, and materials, including faux leather and fabric. Go for sport or racing seat covers to add an edgy appeal, or opt for something soft and comfortable to cover your factory seats. You can install a steering wheel cover to match your seats as well!
-
Audio Systems
Aftermarket audio systems are an excellent way to modify your car. If you want to boost your bass, install a subwoofer to your audio system. You can even find aftermarket touchscreens and entertainment suites to connect to your audio system so that you can play DVDs, connect your smartphone via Bluetooth, and play your favorite music!
With some effort and a bit of money, you can turn your car into a custom ride! Modify your new vehicle to meet your preferences, or breathe life into a classic. There are plenty more DIY ways to upgrade your vehicle, but you can use these six customizations to get started!
