I’m not talking about those visors people wear that make me question their fashion sense. But I am sure there are tons of websites out there where you can customize one. Don’t know why you’d want to…

5) Make It Your Own With Custom Seat Covers
There are tons of online stores out there that sell seat covers with custom patterns and designs. Some websites sell universal seat covers, others sell custom fit seat covers tailored to your vehicle. While in the case of a custom steering wheel cover or sun visor,, ordering a universal product will likely still look great and fit. This is not always the case for seat covers.
Universal seat covers may not fit your seats well at all. Also, they may not be compatible with safety features in your seat like Side Impact Airbags. So before you hit that “Order Now” button, make sure the seat covers are suitable for your car. If you order custom fit seat covers, alterations can be done to ensure safety features are fully functional.
Alright, serious stuff aside. Let’s get to the part where you get to choose a set of custom fit seat covers that’ll really make your car ‘pop’. Seat covers are an easy way how to make your car look new.
A few popular options are Neo-Supreme for that sporty look, Sheepskin or Imitation Leather for that luxurious look, and Hawaiian seat covers for a bit of fun in the sun! Camo seat covers are available, as well. You can select rugged materials like Cordura, Saddle Blanket, and others that are great for drivers who want to upgrade their interior, but need something very durable and protective.
If you loved the Kryptek seat covers as seen in the first image, you can also order them online too!
Customizing your car with seat covers is like revamping your wardrobe. You get to choose materials you like, patterns you like, and colors you like. Completely customizable to suit your sense of style.

I have customized my car with a Mini Fridge and Android’s Car Play Mount and it is the best experience ever to have in a car!
When choosing a good car fridge, from my experience, I recommend choosing a car fridge with a compressor. It cools much lower and has also lower power consumption.
