2. 🧳 Full-Cover Trunk Mat
New trunk? Keep it that way. Our Matching Full Trunk Mat protects the cargo area from:
- 🧼 Grocery spills
- 🐶 Pet hair and paw prints
- ⚙️ Dirty tools or sports gear
Why it’s worth it:
- ✅ Waterproof & easy to clean
- ✅ Raised walls to contain mess
- ✅ Matches the look of your cabin mats
3. 📱 Wireless Phone Charger & Mount
Your car may have wireless CarPlay or Android Auto — but where do you put your phone? A magnetic or clamp-style phone mount with built-in wireless charging keeps your phone secure, visible, and fully powered — without a tangled mess of cables. Look for a mount with:
- ✔️ Fast Qi charging (10W+)
- ✔️ Dash, vent, or windshield options
- ✔️ Auto-clamp or magnetic hold
4. 🧯 Emergency Roadside Kit
Better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it. Your emergency kit should include:
- ✔️ Jumper cables or portable jump starter
- ✔️ Tire inflator & pressure gauge
- ✔️ Flashlight and extra batteries
- ✔️ First-aid basics
- ✔️ Reflective warning triangles
Pro tip: toss in a blanket, bottled water, and multi-tool. You’ll thank yourself later.
5. 🎥 Dash Cam
If something ever happens on the road — dash cam footage is the first thing insurance companies want to see. Modern dash cams include:
- 📸 1080p or 4K video
- 🌙 Night vision
- 🎙️ Audio recording
- 🔁 Loop recording & motion sensors
They mount discreetly behind your rearview mirror and run on auto-pilot.
6. 🧽 Portable Car Vacuum
You’re going to spill something. It happens. But keeping your interior clean shouldn’t be a chore. Cordless vacuums designed for cars now offer:
- ✔️ High suction power for crumbs, dirt, and hair
- ✔️ Crevice tools for cupholders and seat gaps
- ✔️ Reusable filters
Use once a week and your cabin will always look fresh.
7. 🔧 Smart Tire Pressure Monitor (TPMS)
Low tire pressure isn’t just a dashboard warning — it affects fuel economy, tire wear, and safety. Bluetooth-enabled TPMS sensors:
- 📱 Sync to your smartphone
- 📊 Show real-time PSI and temp
- ⚠️ Alert you if you’re leaking air
Set it and forget it. A must-have for winter, road trips, and older vehicles.
8. 🚫 Seat Gap Filler
No more phones, fries, or keys falling between the seats. 🙌 A simple foam or neoprene insert keeps the space between your seat and center console sealed. Benefits:
- ✔️ Safer — no more reaching while driving
- ✔️ Cleaner — blocks crumbs and spills
- ✔️ Cheap and effective
One of those “why didn’t I do this sooner” upgrades.
9. 🕶️ Sunshade & Window Tint
Protect your dash, steering wheel, and upholstery from sun damage — and keep your car cool while parked.
Interior Sunshades:
- ✔️ Reflective or blackout material
- ✔️ Custom-fit or foldable
Window Tint (professional install):
- ✔️ UV protection
- ✔️ Privacy
- ✔️ Heat control
10. 🪑 Custom Leather Seat Covers
New seats are great — until they meet jeans, coffee, or kids. Protect them with our Custom Leather Seat Cover Set. They match your mats, feel incredible, and offer full-coverage protection for front and back rows.
Highlights:
- ✅ Breathable leather finish
- ✅ Diamond-stitching to match your car mats
- ✅ OEM-style fitment — no sliding or bunching
- ✅ Easy to wipe clean
