Pimp Your Ride with Inexpensive Bling

Street and drag racing are once again tearing up the track (and city streets), though they're illegal just about everywhere. Gaining traction from a number of current movies and television shows, racing—and the pimped-out look that goes with it—is on the rise. Believe it or not, with minimal effort and a little extra cash, pimping out your ride is a lot easier and more affordable than you might think. With the following car accessories, you'll see how.

Clean Your Car

The first step is hardly an upgrade at all—more like personal hygiene: wash and wax your car on a regular basis (yes, that means more than twice a year). A clean car is a state of mind. The cleaner it is, the more inclined you'll be to keep it that way. And, before you add anything else on, you want to have a clean workspace.

License Plate Frames

Of all the upgrades to your exterior, a license plate frame is one of simplest. License plate frames are customizable to say just about anything you want and come in a wide variety of materials, styles, and colors. Many even come covered by rubber-sealed safety-glass to prevent moisture, bugs, rust, dirt, and registration-sticker thieves from getting at your license plate.

Chrome Mirror Covers

Another simple addition is chrome mirror covers, like Chrysler 300 chrome mirror covers or Silverado chrome mirror covers. They make a strong impression alone or add the finishing touch to a complete chrome package. Most are crafted from chrome-plated ABS and fit over your existing mirrors, providing a highly-customized look in just minutes.

Interior Floor Mats

Moving into the interior, floor mats make an almost effort-free addition to the bling of your interior. They block mud, sand, and road-grit from staining and wearing down the carpeting on your floorboards. El Camino floor mats, and those like them, add a nice finishing touch and are available in a number of styles, including all-weather, carpeted, rubber, and even your favorite logo designs. They're constructed of high-quality thermo-plastic and other durable materials, and they provide maximum coverage without covering up your floor controls.

Your ride is far more than just transportation. It's a status symbol that defines your personality, much like the clothes you wear. Unlike fashion, which seems to come and go with each passing fad, upgrading your vehicle with a little extra bling is an investment that will last. And, the best part is: pimping out your ride is a whole lot more affordable than a couple pairs of designer jeans. Your car is a representation of you—make sure it's saying something good. License plate frames or any number of other car accessories provide simple and affordable upgrades to pimp out your ride, transforming it from ordinary to extraordinary in minutes.
