Automotive accessories have come a long way since cars started being seen on the highway. Fuzzy dice and bumper stickers used to be the extent of the accessorizing options.

After all, you have limitless car accessory possibilities these days!

The global positioning system is one of my favorite new car accessories. With it I never have to ask for directions. I hate getting lost and if I had a GPS system, I could just cruise. I hate not being in charge and my pride always hurts when I have to where to go.

With a GPS system I could go on road trips without a navigator. I wouldn't need some kno-it-all in the passenger seat telling me about which road to take or what the map says. Plus the GPS never needs to take extra bathroom breaks!

DVD players now come standard as an automotive accessory in many cars. What an advancement in technology! I love the idea that technological advances can even help to shut up the young ones on those long trips across the country.

Do you love listening to punk rock or heavy metal? I think satelite radio is the best way to hear all your favorites whether you're in a rural or in the city. What a fun car accessory! It's like a toy for grown-ups!

Do you want the outside of your car to attract the ladies' attention? I did, which is why I bought a flashing licence plate liner, rotating rims and a glowing undercarriage. Boy, did that really turn heads! I am proud to say that there are many useful automotive accessories for your car exterior.

I really love the fact that I have better automotive accessories than anyone I know. Boy do I really attact attention all over the place. I know that everyone is craving the accessories I have purchased.

But seriously, it is exciting to see how far automotive accessories come so far. I am looking forward to seeing how the technology will change in the next ten years. Fasten your seat belts!

It includes a number of different devices such as cellphone chargers, heat exhausts, and a number of different devices that we could add up to our vehicle.

Normal car accessories use power from the car's battery. They need that to function. However, the battery alone is not the only thing that powers it but the car's engine as well. We will not explain the deeper details about it but the more you use these accessories, the more fuel you use. In addition, if you use more fuel, you become a major contributor on global warming and pollution. Fuel is extracted from fossil - based minerals. These things produce a dangerous carbon gas byproduct that is responsible for global warming. That is the reason why it is important to use an accessory for your car that does not run on it. These alternative group of accessories run on solar power. As we all know, solar power is the best alternative energy source ever. It is very clean, it is sustainable, and it is free. Using it as the main energy source for your car accessories cuts down your fuel use, thus, you cut down the cause of global warming.

As we all know, modern cars are full of gadgets and equipment that make life easier while driving. Of course, this mostly goes for new cars and if you've spent some more money on extended accessories.

But when you drive a used car, the situation is different. Most used cars don't have that much basic accessories (especially if you bought it cheap). Also, the interior of the used car is usually worn out and can possibly have that funny smell.

It all ends up that your not a very happy driver when you sit in your car. I mean everything is OK and working fine, the drive is not bad, your safe, but you still don't have that "king of the castle" feeling in your car.

Many accessory manufacturers deal with these kinds of problems. There is an abundance of these products on the market and going inside one of these shops is like letting a kid into a candy store. You usually end up by spending a lot of money and using only ten percent of what you've bought.

To avoid these kind of situations, here's some tips on what to buy to make you feel better in your car:

1. Air freshener- by a quality one, as they have mostly mild aromas that don't cause nausea while driving. Having a nice odor in your car not only makes you feel better but the passengers also.

2. Arm rest- if you've driven long distances, you've probably noticed that it wouldn't be a bad thing if you could rest your right arm, or lean on the side a bit. The arm rest is perfect for that. You can buy it for a fair price and the installation is simple. Most arm-rests are retractable and offer additional space in the cabin (for keys, documents, etc).

3.Auto upholstery- the seats on most used cars are in bad shape. If there aren't any holes, scratches or torn-up parts, then the original fabric is pale from usage, sun etc. Changing the upholstery can make a world of change, there is a wide variety of colors, fabrics and even with heating. You can combine this with new foot-pads.

4. Cosmetic spray for plastics- mostly a silicone based spray that revives the look of your plastic. You can apply it when you wash your car (not every time) and rub it in with a cloth. The effect is nice as you'll get the plastic in good looking shape again. Most sprays have in it a nice aroma which makes the effect even better.

5. Steering wheel and gear knob: this is a rather costly option, as custom steering wheels aren't cheap. But you can find a nice half plastic-half wood steering wheel for a reasonable price. The variety of the gear knobs is endless so it's up to you. It would be nice for the steering wheel and gear knob to be alike.

This is only a portion. As I've said, it's an individual thing. Just don't get carried away and loose taste. That costs money and makes you and your car look bad.

Everyone needs to travel from time to time due to their needs related to profession or their personal lives. Sometimes those who are travelling in the cars will have to take their pets along with them. In such cases, the pets can prove to be quite restless which makes the journeys uncomfortable. This is the reason many of the individuals make use of the auto accessories developed specially to help them in managing their pets in a better way when travelling.

These car accessories include the pet barriers which do not need to be drilled to the interior of the car and have a very easy installing procedure. This pet car accessory is not only readily available with the authentic car companies and their certified dealers but also, with the special retails dealing in the car accessories. The pet barriers keep the movement of the pets restricted to the luggage area without causing disturbance to the passengers. Other car owners or the drivers who have the larger cars can also make use of the crates which allow the same benefits as the car pet seat belts.

There are various color ranges in which the pet car accessories can be bought. This versatile color palette will allow the individuals to match these car accessories with the rest of the color themes used in the cars. One can also make use of the World Wide Web, in the cases the retails in their city or its vicinity, do not have the pet accessories that they wish to buy.

Just like the humans need protection when travelling in the cars, so do the pets need safety during the car rides. To keep the pets that are fond of crawling and curling in the laps of the passengers and the drivers from causing discomfort, special seat belts have been designed. These seat belts reduce the impact of the force or the accidents and keep the pets bound to the seats to keep them from distracting the driver or the passengers. In some of the cases the individuals are so careful that they go for the special seat covers that allow ease of the removal of the pet hair and save them from vacuuming the interior of their car regularly.

Others make use of the pet travel bowls and the collapsible dishes to feed their pets during the long journeys. When buying the pet car accessories it is important to keep the personal needs like convenience of feeding, ease of maintenance and other various aspects in mind, to be able to find the accessory that will prove effective for the car, driver and the pet.

New car accessories while very cool, can be very, very expensive. There will come a point where just getting the newest GPS or stereo can put you in a payment range that you cannot afford.

Here are a few steps that you can take to minimize the sticker-shock and get the options and accessories that you want.

   1. Before you go to the dealership, make a list of the "Must Haves" for your new car. Also, make a list of things that you do not want. If you do not have a feel for these two things, you might end up with a car that you settled for instead of the car that you really want. Not to say that there will not be some give and take, but just have some definite deal-breakers as far as accessories go.

   2. Know the real prices on new car accessories. Websites such as Edmunds and Kelly Blue Book will have information on the prices that the dealers pay for the different accessories and accessory packages. When you negotiate, knowing what the dealer pays for the particular option or accessory will give you a huge advantage.

   3. Armed with the information in step 2 above - NEGOTIATE. Have a bottom-line price in mind of what you are willing to pay for each option. You will have to work a little harder with the salesman because they will just want to talk about the price for the "whole" car, but stick to your guns and it will be well worth it.

   4. Realize that many of the new cars today come with option packages that cannot be broken up. So, in order to get the feature that you want, you might have to pay for something else that makes up the package. The only real way around this if you absolutely do not want the whole package is to special order the car from the dealer. This route is not recommended because it will take much longer to get the car and in the end, you might end up paying more for the car than you planned.

   5. As with any negotiation, be ready to walk out if you do not get the price and options that you want. After all, you will be paying for the car - not the salesman.

   6. As a last resort, you can just buy a stripped-down model and fill it with all of the accessories piece by piece, yourself. It will take a little longer and you will have to do a bunch of research, but it can surely be done.

New cars are our everlasting addiction. We never can seem to get enough of them. We work hard and save up money just so we can buy a new car, in the mistaken hope that it is a wise investment. Actually, new cars are never an investment; they lose value the moment you drive off away from the car dealer shop.

Cars can only be investments if 1. You use them for your business, for transporting products perhaps. Or 2. If you're entering your custom car in a car show and win a price, then that's an investment. Otherwise, if you're just buying a new car to have something to drive to work or show around, then you're just wasting your money. And you're better off just sticking with your old car.

Re-evaluate your wants and wishes and consider repairing and upgrading what you already have. You can add and stamp your own personality to your basic car, by just investing in a few fresh innovative ideas.

How to Spruce Up Your Old Car

First, go online. Car classified sites let you know the latest in car customization and some wonderful examples of car 'makeovers'. You might like to have a look at uniquecarsandparts.com.au where you can join the forum, ask questions, and learn a lot about refurbishing your car.

Checking out what is online will also help you keep updated in car prices, car models, and car trends. OzFreeOnline for instance has a comprehensive used car section, where all you have to do is register, log in, and search by category. You will find thousands of used cars for sale, car articles and information on Australian and European cars. You can even check out motorcycle classifieds.

So if you're considering trading-in your present car, do your sums first. You might find you would be just as pleased, and a lot richer, with a few particular improvements and spruce up your present car to make it part of your personality and stand out from the crowd.

Of course, don't get too caught up with just a gorgeous car. Make sure it performs well too, and that safety standards are also met. You're not just after driving on the road in good taste. You also want to get there safe and sound. Have a good time customising your 'new' car.

For some people the car is just another mode of transport and therefore there is absolutely no need to include car accessories in the things that you secure for the vehicle. For them this represents a waste of money and they would rather spend the resources on something more useful. This is a utilitarian attitude to travelling. I do respect the people that take this route but in the end we have to understand that these play an important part in other situations where you might not necessarily associate them with the product. For example you might find that they remove some of the boredom that comes with constant driving. It might be that those accessories are the thing that prevents a person from falling asleep on the wheel.

There is something to be said for the plain cars that have no accessories but we are all of different personalities. You cannot expect that all the drivers will react in the same way to the vehicle. Some people use accessories in their cars to personalize their vehicles. It is almost a ritual of marking territory and they take it very seriously indeed. You cannot say that their attitudes to these things are not acceptable. In fact the car is one of the private spaces where the driver can have absolute control. It therefore makes sense that they would use the car accessories to imprint their personality on the vehicle. It makes it easier to deal with the road and will make the driving experience an enjoyable one.

The one thing that I will not excuse is poor taste in car accessories. Some people buy some really hideous things and then present them as accessories for their cars. Glaring colours and horrible sounds are not part of the deal. You have to make sure that you take the right sort of attitude to these decorations. They might be excellent for your personality but it does not follow that all your passengers will share tastes with you. If you decide to put on a horror show you might find that people are rather reluctant to travel with you. That would be a pity because cars are generally meant to be shared. On the other hand you might decide that the car accessories are a private matter and therefore you can buy as much junk as you like without comment from your passengers.

The Swedish Asthma and Allergy Association has just chosen their very first vehicle to meet their standards. And among all vehicles out in the market, the vehicle that they chose was the Volvo S80 which is a new vehicle from Volvo Cars. After all, this new vehicle from Volvo has a Clean Zone Interior Package which is shortened as CZIP and this package actually is a new technology that gives clean in-car air as well as a pleasant driving and riding experience for all.

The project manager at Volvo Cars and also the specialist in car interior environments, Anders Lofvendahl, had something to say about the CZIP. He says, "The criteria for the Asthma and Allergy Association's product recommendation specify low levels of formaldehyde, particles, various irritants, volatile hydrocarbons, and odors." This is actually a good thing, after all, asthma and allergies have become quite common problems at present. These are not just problems among children but are also problems of adults as well. With Volvo S80's CZIP, this vehicle actually offers a safe and healthy climate and environment for those people who are quite sensitive.

What is inside the Clean Zone Interior Package? This package actually includes a remotely controlled automatic cabin ventilation system. When the car door is unlocked, the CZIP stars up. It starts to effectively expel any emissions or strong odors that may have built up inside the parked car. As the substances, particles, and other components are dispelled and dispersed, the CZIP starts to decrease in power. Lofvendahl explains, "In hot climates, volatile hydrocarbons evaporate from plastics and textiles. These substances can serve as irritants to over-sensitive people, so to meet the criteria of the Asthma and Allergy Association an automatic ventilation system was a necessary precondition."

Lofvendahl continues, "Volvo's interior air quality system consists of a filter and a sensor. The sensor registers the existence of substances such as nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide, and hydrocarbons in the surrounding air and shuts the air intake if the concentration is too high. Our close cooperation with the Swedish Asthma and Allergy Association has given us a far better picture of the needs of people with asthma and allergies. One example is that of dust accumulation, which is a far greater problem than we believed when we launched the project. That is why we have made the interior of the new S80 as easy to clean as possible and have avoided dust-collecting surfaces such as textile carpets. Instead, we use allergy-tested natural rubber coverings in both the passenger cabin and luggage compartment. They are easier to clean and keep free from dust."

Car accessories play an integral role in improving both the looks and performance of a car making it the envy of your friends and family. Contrary to popular belief, car accessories are not meant only for racers and car enthusiast. Even your family car can benefit from the right car accessories.

Buying a car kit for your phone might be a good idea, but usually you do not have all the accessories you need in a car kit. That is why you should find some of the specials accessories separately.

Some of the products that you usually don't find in a car kit is the

· Noise redactor.

The noise redactor could prove so useful in a closed space like your car. In addition, the device that connects your iPhone with your car antenna is hard to find. You will need this for your mountain trips, where the signal is significantly weaker. There are also some other special products, usually used for a better sound quality or a better reception.

However, the most important thing about your iPhone car accessories is that they have to be resistant. The car is somewhat "unfriendly" with your iPhone, as it could be exposed to many shocks. That is why you have to be sure that your car support is made with some of the best materials such as

· Silicon or

· metal

In addition, the mobility is important for your support, especially if you are traveling with another person. Be sure that your support moves in several positions, but also be sure this does not affect its stability.

An USB cable could prove useful, as you have important information to exchange between your laptop and your iPhone. You want to be sure you can transfer music from your iPhone to your CD player in now time. Check for transfer speed when you buy an USB cable, as there are some that could hurry it up.

The recharger is also one of the most important iPhone car accessories that are because you do not want to wait for hours while your iPhone is recharging. Be sure that you find a fast recharger, even if it will be a little more expensive. Also for mobility is recommended to buy a blue tooth hands free. Don't buy a wired hands free at it could prove very annoying. It can be dangerous to have many wires around you while you are driving.

Any kind of accessories you would need, be sure that they are quality ones. Bad car accessories could prove costless, even if they are cheap.

There's such a range of available accessories nowadays for your vehicle. It can be hard to decide which accessories are necessary, and choosing can cost a lot in time and energy. Accessorizing cars is almost a fanatical pastime for American car owners. A famous columnist even wrote an article once showing how the majority of cars in the US are over-accessorized, with more than one cup holder available per passenger in the vehicle, to illustrate his point.

At least these accessories are put to good use with the high beverage consumption in America, whereas in Europe, it would be unthinkable for people to drink any kind of drink at the same time as driving. That's largely because drinking coffee in Europe is an event in itself. So taking it out of that atmosphere to enjoy it while driving isn't done.

It's fairly normal in American culture to handle several different tasks even while driving. Thus, the need for accessories is high to help accommodate those needs. You need a cell phone holder to store your phone while on the road, and because it's common to spend so long in the car, you need a place to store all the music CDs you want to listen to while driving. There needs to be a place to store your change for toll. A lot of these accessories are now common across the board of vehicle purchases.

There are a few cars in the US today that don't have alarms that scream in protest if something hits them or key rings that can open the car from a distance. Yet, there are so many more possibilities like an alarm if the antenna breaks. Where do we draw the line at car accessories? Are we already there? Or did we pass the mark of usefulness a long time ago? Probably, it's said by some, standard accessories included on cars should only be those that are practical and necessary for function.

If you asked American consumers which accessories they can't live without, they'll no doubt mention key rings giving access from a distance, cup holders to hold their numerous beverages, and accessories for their cell phones so they can talk hands-free as required by law in most states. These are the kind of accessories that aid and enhance the use of your vehicle.

You're still fortunate if you own a vehicle that functions well that's not kitted out with all the latest accessories. But should you desire some upgrades, you'll find plenty of options in car accessories available for you to own and add to your vehicle.

The use of car mats in cars is quite a necessity in order to keep a car's interior protected. Before the advent of carpeting and rust prevention came into the manufacturing of cars, people used car mats to prevent the floor of a car from the dirt and moisture that encouraged rust. In fact back in the 1960s and 70s, it was quite common to have floorboards that completely rusted away because of exposure to road salt and other snow melting chemicals.

So people used rubber mats to help prevent this from happening and causing untold damage to their motor vehicles.

These days cars have their floors carpeted or coated in plastic from manufacture and in some cases mats may be integrated into the carpeting. Also in use are rubber, nylon carpet and plastic shields that have enhanced the protection of car interiors for generations to come and make sure that having rusted floors in a thing of the past.

In fact mats have become one of the most unappreciated accessories that you could have for a car because of these advances in technology. By adding mats to your car interior you can protect the interior carpeting, dry your shoes effectively, keep your feet more steady on the pedals and add more comfort and luxury to your motor vehicle.

So even though these days, cars come fully carpeted, Car mats still have a place in our driving experience and are an underestimated part of enhancing our motor vehicles, providing added comfort and protection for our car interiors and increasing their potential resale value.

In case you are not a fan of tinted windows for cars, you definitely need to read this article. You would be surprised to know that tinted windows are actually one of the most important car accessories. In fact, I would term tinted windows as a car necessity.

Tinted windows/glasses are stylish and there is no questioning that fact. Different shades of tint make your car more appealing and eye catching. But apart from adding style to your vehicle, they do much more. Let's discuss a bit about what Tinted Glasses or Tinted Windows mean and how they are advantageous for your car.

Windows are tinted by applying a dyed or colored micro-film coating to the interior of the glass surface. Usually the thin film is made from heat rejecting material and offers protection from sunlight, UV-Rays, Infrared Rays and other forms of radiation. A transparent film coating also does the same job but it may not be termed as a "tint" because it is colorless.

You might be interested to know that a security film may be applied to the glass as an additional coating that prevents it from shattering. This is a useful safety feature that prevents car occupants from harmful injuries due to scattering glass in car collisions.

Back to our topic, tinted windows can be a blessing for you and your car's interiors. Sounds funny but good quality film coating if applied professionally, can save your car's interiors and it's occupants from a lot of harm due to sun's heat.

Prolonged periods in the sun can deteriorate your car interiors including trims, plastic moldings, upholstery and seat covers. If you have those fancy leather interiors, you need to be more careful because constant exposure to heat can induce weathering in leather materials that may eventually result in cracking and fading of surfaces. Also, a car with leather seat-covers parked in the sun is good enough to cause serious burns if you sit inside without allowing it to cool.

Apart from guarding the privacy of the occupants, tinted glasses avoid break-ins and thefts because crooks can't see inside your vehicle to know if there are any items inside worth stealing.

Tinted glasses keep your car-cabin cool and hence avoid the need for constant use of air conditioner while you drive. As you would know, less use of air conditioner means more fuel efficiency. Also, tinted mirrors maintain decent comfort levels inside the car-cabin by preventing harmful heat from entering inside. It helps you concentrate on the road instead of huffing and puffing about the weather.

Tinted glasses can prevent your skin from harmful effects of sun's heat and radiations. In case your skin is photo sensitive, tinted windows are an absolute must for you. Tinted windows also prevent you from any glare emanating from roadside objects making your drive safer.

Investment in good quality window film or tinted glasses can be a great decision that might save you from a lot of needless expenditure later. Choose your tint level according to the laws and regulations in your state and your own comfort levels. Some tints are too dark and impair proper vision while driving in low-light conditions.

I am sure now you will definitely consider getting your car windows tinted and become a fan of it just like me.

As a matter of fact, along with its price, the price of the car accessories that fit in has gone down even further. Now, what can be better than getting car accessories at a price which is even lesser than the market price? Well, that's when the concept of "wholesale car accessories" comes into the picture.

There is a wide variety of car accessories that one can find being sold in the market. Car accessories include car audio player systems (which include sub woofers, twitters and a stereo), car air-conditioner system, sunroof system, alternate flood lights, front and rear scratch guards, front lamps, rear lamps, tail lights, wheel alloy rings and wheel caps. Most people look forward to buy a car with less specifications and comfort. This is a trick to make their gamble a bit cost effective. What they do is, either they buy the base model car or they stick to their old car and later modifies it with respective accessories.

Now, you might think that this might cost a lot. But the fact is, that doing business with wholesalers and sealing a deal does make you feel much more comfortable when it come to monitory transactions.

At present, wholesale car accessories have become primary supplements for most people. Surfing through a collection of websites dealing with wholesale retailers, you can quite easily get hold of one of them. Always carry a pre-requisite number of the items that you intend to buy. This preparation might help you to bargain with the wholesalers. Always verify the fact file of the wholesaler you are dealing with. This will save you from scams and other rip-offs.
