Custom Car Options like Paint and Accessories Add Sizzle to your Ride: a Primer
Custom accessories help gearheads to soccer moms personalize their rides and improve resale value. Dealer service departments, such as the one at RK Scion, can guide your ride customization effort, installing custom features and ensuring you meet warranty guidelines.
RK Auto Group breaks down the hot trends for you.
The service department at RK Chevrolet reports hip accessories abound. Choose from rims to running boards, spoilers to grills, and stereos to sunroofs.
RK Scion reports lighting (neon, strobe, and fluorescent) as a top customization trend. Clearance lamps and fog lights are also popular.
Raise your car’s profile with wheels and lift kits.
Cool wheels are another hot trend, according to the service department at RK Scion. Choose from a variety of styles, including white walls or monster tires. Custom rims make a huge impact on a car’s look and resale value.
Do you prefer a big bruiser or stylish low rider? A body lift kit raises the body from the frame so that taller tires can be installed. Suspension lifts improve clearance between axles and the ground. You get better results in terms of height, handling and ground clearance.
On the flip side: lowering kits make vehicles look sleek and mean. They also improve handling and response by dropping a vehicle’s center of gravity for better stability in turns.
Body shop artists at RK Auto Group say color is IN this season!
Another way to change a vehicle’s look is by painting it with bright non-factory colors. RK Chevrolet has a state-of-the-art downdraft paint booth that gives the finest finishes available outside of the factory. Don’t forget pinstriping, custom flames, interior painting of dash panels or powder coating of vehicle components.
Custom Grilles: Bling for Your Car
A grill can add the finishing touch to any car, truck or SUV. Whether you are a drag racing enthusiast, or just want your vehicle to make a statement, grilles are terrific accessories. Give your car, truck or SUV an awesome look while protecting your radiator, front mount intercooler (FMIC), and other vital engine components.
Give your interior a makeover.
Auto upholstery and carpeting usually take a beating. If yours has had all it can take, have it replaced. Pining for plush seats? Longing for leather? You can have them in just about any color. And your car will have that fresh, new car smell, without the rearview mirror deodorizer. Ahhh…
