Car Accessories
Currently, automobiles are entering ordinary Chinese households at an unprecedented pace, and the resulting huge automotive aftermarket—including car detailing, maintenance, decoration, and repair—will become a massive golden industry in the 21st century. When it comes to car accessories, most people, even those who don’t drive, can name a few, but few can name them all. Let’s take a detailed look at a comprehensive list of car accessories.
I. Comprehensive List of Car Accessories
General car accessories include floor mats, seat covers, steering wheel covers, air fresheners, anti-theft devices (gear locks), reversing radars, and explosion-proof film; high-end car accessories also include leather seats, audio systems, wood trim, sunroofs, GPS navigation systems, and airbags.
Practical car accessory items also include various seat cushions, backrests, cup holders, anti-static labels, storage trays, mudguards, car covers, car racks, car refrigerators, tire inflators, brake lights, side marker lights, rearview mirrors, dashcams, parking signs, fire extinguishers, chamois leather, dusters, air purifiers, power windows, automatic antennas, car curtains, mechanical locks, body kits, spoilers, wheel arches, rain guards, decorative lights, decals, and running boards.
II. Several Commonly Used Car Accessories
1. Car Floor Mats
Generally, the area under car seats is covered with a carpet-like material, which is installed as part of the original car interior. However, this material tends to accumulate dirt and grime, making cleaning difficult. Adding a waterproof and easy-to-clean material makes cleaning much easier. This protective layer is called a floor mat. It comes in two types: hand-stitched and molded. However, because floor mats are rubber products, they can have an odor and limited color options, making some high-end cars feel less luxurious when fitted with them. 1. Some cars now have home-style carpeting, which looks quite nice, adds a touch of class, and isn’t too expensive.
2. Car Accessories: Anti-theft Devices (Gear Shift Locks)
Car security is a top concern, so anti-theft devices are essential. Cars equipped with electronic anti-theft devices can usually remotely control the doors, which is very convenient and practical. However, thieves can easily steal the car once they learn how to bypass the system. Therefore, many cars are now also equipped with gear shift locks. When choosing an anti-theft device or gear shift lock, consider product quality, installation techniques, and after-sales service.
3. Car Accessories: Reversing Radar
With more and more cars on the road, usable space is shrinking. There are more new drivers, leading to more minor collisions and disputes. Reversing, which used to be a simple task, has become a problem, and we face it several times a day. Reversing radar minimizes the distance between the vehicle and obstacles when reversing, and its performance is unaffected by darkness or fog, greatly improving safety when reversing.
Another commonly used car accessory is window tint. In the sweltering summer, it blocks 99.99% of ultraviolet rays, preventing direct sunlight from entering the car and providing a cooling effect. It has heat insulation and UV protection functions. Furthermore, if the glass breaks, shards won’t scatter, reducing the risk of injury. This kind of car accessory is truly essential. Many people, besides installing necessary car accessories, also install other decorative items that may not be used but enhance the car’s appearance.
