5 Ways to Upgrade Your Car to a Luxury Vehicle

Let's face it: we'd rather drive a luxury car than the generic ones that most people drive these days. Of course, reality is far different. Not all of us can afford a luxury car--let alone buy one. The least we can do is upgrade our vehicles to make them look and feel as 'luxurious' as possible.

Here are some easy ways you can do this:

1. Go leather, wood veneer, chrome, and carbon fiber.

Nothing screams luxury better than good, quality leather. If you can afford it, wrap your steering wheel and car seats with it. Just doing that adds a lot of elegance in your car's interiors.

Similarly, you can upgrade your car's plastic door or console panels to chrome, carbon fiber, or wood veneer. They will add a lot of sophistication and character to your car's interiors.

2. Use carpets.

Add carpets, especially those with solid colors, with diamond-stitched designs that are quite luxurious to look at.

3. Upgrade to a good infotainment system.

An infotainment system, especially those that are compatible with Apple CarPlay or  Android Auto, isn't really an important necessity for your car, but if you have the money for it, then go for it. Not only will it replace your car's stereo, it will also add more features, like Bluetooth connectivity,  hands-free directions, GPS, and live stream music.

Don't have the budget to do it? Then a decent, double-DIN GPS touchscreen is enough to do the trick.

4. Customize your car's paint color using vinyl car wrap.

Vinyl car wrap is the way to go if you want a customized car paint without going way overboard your budget. And the best part? It gives you a lot of color options to choose from.

5. Use alloy wheels instead of steel.

Alloy wheels are a mixture of metals and other elements. Not only are they stronger and lighter compared to other metals, they are also attractive to look at.

Yes, we know--it's still not a luxury vehicle through and through. Still, it's a good start, especially if you don't have enough money to begin with. At the end of the day, your vehicle is only as good as how much value you place on it. Take good care of it at all times--whether it's a luxury vehicle or not.
