There are many modifications you can make to cars; some are great for practicality, and others are purely aesthetic changes to improve the look of your car. In this article, we take a look at some modifications you can make that will change your car so it feels and looks more like a high-end sports car, both inside and on the outside.
Sports style seats
Standard seats in a car aren’t designed to look sporty; they’re designed for comfort and practicality. Most cars have very similar-style seats, which often blend into the background of the rest of the vehicle. A great way to change the look of the interior of your car is to swap the seats with sports-style seats. Sports bucket seats are much lower than other seats, which helps your car look more sporty and feel sportier when you’re driving. Match the seats to the colour of your car for the ultimate sporty look and feel.
Change your headlights
Old headlights with where the glass or plastic has become foggy, and you can no longer see the light clearly don’t look the part when you’re trying to create a sleek-looking sports car. Replacing your headlights can give your car a fresh new sporty look; choose headlights with a strong white beam or LED headlights for the ultimate sporty look. When you take a picture of your car at dusk with the new headlights, it will look sportier than those foggy old yellow lights you used to have.
Add new wheels
Larger wheels can not only make your car look sportier, but they can change how it feels to drive. Choose alloy wheels with a design that matches your car for the ultimate sports car look and feel. There are lots of different wheels to choose from; take your time and do your research to find the best wheels for your car. Always make sure you pick quality wheels and tires, as these are an integral part of your car and your driving experience. You will soon notice the difference if you switch from low-quality wheels and tires to much higher-quality sporty options.
Change the steering wheel
One way to make your car's interior more sporty is to change the steering wheel. A sport steering wheel can completely transform the interior of your car and make it feel like you’re driving a new vehicle. Choose a wheel that’s smaller with a flat bottom for a sportier look and feel. Most steering wheels can be replaced easily, but you will probably lose any controls you have on your original steering wheel. If you’re unsure about changing the steering wheel yourself, make sure you ask an expert to help or fit the steering wheel for you. You need to ensure that your steering wheel is fitted correctly to avoid dangerous driving situations.
Gear knob
A quick and easy modification for your car's interior is to switch out the original gear knob with something new and unique to your car. Most gear sticks have gear knobs that can be easily removed and replaced with something more sporty and eye-catching. Chrome or iridescent gear knobs are a good choice for those looking to create a fresh and interesting look inside their car. You can buy thousands of different gear knob styles that can be fitted quickly and easily at home. Always make sure you buy from a reputable company, as the gear knob is likely to be of a higher quality and won’t need to be replaced as often. As with any modification, it's always a good idea to keep the OEM parts that you’ve taken off the car; these can be swapped if you choose to sell the car in the future. That way, you can keep your modifications and put them on your new vehicle.
Making your car look more sporty can be done with just a few simple modifications, or you can go more extreme and add a sports body kit to change the shape of your vehicle completely. If you’re new to car modifications, we recommend choosing simple changes at first and then working your way up to more complex modifications.
