Personalizing your car is about more than just being able to find it in the parking lot after a long grocery haul. Customizing its interior is a form of self-expression. However, with so many options available, knowing how to personalize your car interior can prove challenging.
The ultimate guide below is your go-to resource for turning your car interior into a familiar, fun, and safe place. From figuring out how much to spend to adding that accessory or accent, Drift is with you every step of the way. Don’t overlook the atmosphere in your vehicle; use Drift’s exclusive car fresheners and match one of our premium scents with your best traits.
Determine Your Budget
Figuring out how much you want to spend on upgrading your car interior doesn’t have to be a limiting factor. Instead, think about it as a way to maximize what you’re spending so you get the most out of it. You can also determine a range if that feels more appropriate.
You can find numerous customization options for under $100, but it may be worth spending more to get a better product, depending on what it is. In addition, you don’t have to spend $100 or more on personalizing your car’s interior. Instead, enhancements should say something about you.
As you figure out what you want to spend, think about what you’re looking for in upgrading your car interior. Do you want to focus on comfort, style, safety, or technology? It can also be good to think about products you want to avoid spending money on to figure out what you want via the process of elimination.
Explore
There are so many choices for upgrading your car interior that it’s easy to get overwhelmed. You can take inspiration from multiple places, from social media and friends to family members—and the list below. As you find products you like, add them to a list to review in the next step.

Research and Read Through Reviews
A savvy buyer knows when a product actually delivers and when it’s just hype. Read through reviews to see what other people are saying about the custom car interior upgrade you’re considering. What common issues are they running into, what do they like about the product, and what other details should you be aware of if you’re considering purchasing the product?
Depending on what kind of car interior accessory you’re looking at, you may be able to find a better-value product, albeit at a higher price. Decide if paying more is worth it or if you want to pursue a different car interior accent product. It may be a good idea to review the return policy terms if you think you’ll need to return an item.
Make Your Final Selection
Based on your budget, wants, and the products you’ve reviewed, it’s time to make a shortlist. Write down the pros and cons of each product to decide if it aligns with what you want to accomplish in your car’s interior. Find your top three and deliberate from there; when you’re ready, place your order.
