    depending on your car, these are some quality of life improvements that are low-ish cost

    get a catch can for a diesel engine
    upgrade your internal lights to LEDs
    upgrade your windscreen wiper sprayer to actually spread evenly over the windshield
    add a reverse camera
    add a good usb-c charger from your cigarette lighter socket so you can charge devices
    don't bother with a tablet, get a Scosche mount for your mobile phone and use that instead - definitely cheaper

    or if you are into camping and 4wd, there are many $$$ things the marketing insists you need. You too can be a city slicker/"weekend warrior" with bullbar, roof rack, rooftop tent, snorkel, winch, dual battery, 2 inch lift kit, massive wheels, on a Landcruiser that has never seen mud and is 95% of the time parked in a suburban street! :-)

    • Yes, I need to buy a phone mount and reverse camera. These would be much help.

      • Yes, I need to buy a phone mount

        How about this? But don't buy it there, it's cheaper from AE here

      my aunt back in the day had a 6 cd changer in the boot and i remember her showing it off to all the other relos - i was like damn! that's fancy as hell!

        My camry had a factory 6 stacker in the boot.

        • +4

          i knew you had good taste

          (bonus points if at least one of those cd's feature 'jamiroquai - virtual insanity' as part of mapax' 96 so fresh remix)

          • +1

            @Jimothy Wongingtons: Damn, no bonus points. I was more of a metal head camry driver.

            • +1

              @mapax: nice, i went though a very long metal only phase from early 20s to late 20s
              ill now listen to pretty much anything from classic to Mongolian throat singing.

              my 4 year old likes to randomly yell out MASTER OF PUPPETS - SMASHING YOUR DREAMS!
              in exactly the way they sing it in the song.
              and tbh thats just heart warming to me HAHA

            • +2

              @mapax: I was 90’s punk in mine, v6, with MB Quart speakers (when they used to be German made)

              That car’s current funnily enough is now close to me (I don’t know where exactly but I see it around a bit)

              • +2

                @Gunnar: Nice. Mine was also a V6, I sold it to a local fella but only saw it a couple of times.

    Why? Sounds like you are trying to solve a problem which does not exist. If you need a light, get a light. If you need a bluetooth adaptor, get a bluetooth adaptor.

      i have always low key felt these were actually cool as hell. especially now LED watt : lumen ratio is so insane and affordable. The power of a mini sun at your finger tips.

        No low key about it, they are cool as hell…
        Some of the pro roo shooters still run non-led ones because they supposedly cause less eye fatigue.

    TRD fuel filler cap for a Camry

    GTR sticker for your Nissan leaf

    STI stickers for your base model Impreza

    Ralliart stickers for your Mirage

  • Scothgard and vinyl seats for your Tesla- cleaning those ‘mysterious’ stains after a night at the park becomes a breeze

  • Neon lights F&F style

  • Get whatever you want, but have an end goal as to where you want to end up, dont just randomly add stuff.

    Do you want to drive better, or be more comfortable or have more tech?

      Clearly this is a spam post, as they sell auto accessories… Mods taking their time removing it

      • +1

        It shouldn’t be removed, the comments expose the OP and will impact them more than just deleting everything in this thread.
