Best Accessories to Enhance Your Drive

by Lynch Ford Chevrolet

As much as you might like your vehicle, there are a variety of accessories you can add to not only make it more visually appealing but also enhance your driving experience. So, if you're looking to take your ride from average to extraordinary, here are the top accessories to consider.

Paint Protection

Adding paint protection to your car reduces the need for touch-ups and repairs, and it can also improve resale value. Ceramic coating and paint protection film (PFF) are two options that prevent chips and scratches, as well as fading and discoloration caused by harmful UV rays. Both options repel water and dirt, which means you don't have to wash your car as often. While ceramic coatings can last up to five years, PFFs can last up to seven. PFFs also have self-healing properties, which means that minor scratches can be repaired when heated.

All-Weather Floor Mats

All-weather floor mats are made of thick, durable rubber, making them last longer than other types of floor mats. They not only help keep the carpet clean but are also easy to clean. Whether you drive in snowy or muddy conditions or have pets or kids who are prone to making messes, all-weather floor mats are a great addition.

Seat Covers

Like all-weather floor mats, seat covers protect your vehicle's original upholstery. They're also easier to clean, as they can be wiped down with a damp cloth or easily removed for a deeper cleaning. Along with these benefits, seat covers can give your interior a sleek, refreshing new look and provide extra padding for added comfort.

Window Tint

Along with making your vehicle look more appealing, window tinting offers several practical benefits, including the following:

Blocks UV rays - Blocks nearly 100% of harmful UV rays, protecting your skin from sun damage.
Protects interior - Reduces sun exposure, which protects your dashboard and upholstery from fading and wearing out.
Enhances privacy - Makes it more difficult for potential thieves to see inside your car.
Increases safety - Reduces glare, which enhances visibility and prevents glare-related accidents.
Reduces heat - Makes the interior more comfortable when entering the car.

Running Boards

Running boards make it easier to get into SUVs and trucks that sit higher off the ground. This can be especially helpful for women, children, and the elderly. Running boards also provide a surface to wipe off your shoes. Plus, they can prevent paint damage by blocking debris that gets kicked up from the wheels. On top of all that, running boards can improve the look of your vehicle.

Mud Guards

Also known as mud flaps, mud guards stop debris, mud, and water from splashing up from the road, increasing safety and protecting the vehicle's paint and metal components. They're especially useful in bad weather and when off-roading. Mud guards can also prevent rust by stopping road salt from accumulating on the vehicle's undercarriage. You can choose from plastic or rubber mudguards. Plastic guards are more durable, while rubber guards offer more coverage.

Roof Rack

If you're looking for more space for your long trips and outdoor adventures, a roof rack is another convenient accessory to add. It's particularly helpful for carrying bulky items like bikes, kayaks, skis, and camping gear. A roof rack allows you to distribute items more evenly, which increases safety and fuel efficiency. It also enhances the appearance of the vehicle, giving it a more adventurous look.
