Spring is in the air- and a sure way to enjoy it is from the driver's seat of a fun, sporty and customized car. Maybe, like thousands of Canadians, you've been considering stepping up your ride in the looks and performance departments in time for summer.
Plenty of options are available for your newer car, truck or SUV. Factory designed add-on parts are guaranteed to fit beautifully, work properly, and perform up to the same standards as the rest of the vehicle. Dealer-installed accessories tend to cost a little more than what you'll find on eBay or in a department store- though the promise of guaranteed quality and operation with no second guessing is generally worth the higher cost.
Remember that dealer-installed parts are usually covered by the same new-vehicle warranty that applies to the rest of your machine, too.
Options and selection are virtually limitless. Shoppers can dress up the vehicle's cabin with a wood trim kit, auto-dimming rearview mirror, sports pedals and even mood lighting on some models. Owners can increase functionality and entertainment capabilities with a satellite radio, navigation system or performance audio components. Parents can treat rear-seat occupants to an in-car movie with a DVD entertainment centre and wireless headphones.
These electronic add-ons can be a nightmare to install on your own- leaving exposed wiring and mounting hardware throughout the cabin for a cluttered and disorganized look. Dealer parts will fit your machine with a tidier, more professional and more integrated appearance that's easier to live with.
Don't get carried away up front and forget about the cargo area. Options exist to help safely and efficiently move your gear around without making a mess of your vehicles interior or paint. Dividers, mats, liners and boxes are available custom-fitted to the trunk or hatch of your car or wagon- keeping items in place and the carpeting protected from spills or wear. If you've got a truck, check out accessories like a built-in toolbox, bed-extender or bike rack to make it even more useful.
