    37 Ways To Upgrade Your Car That Don't Require A Ton Of Work

    Even if your new car smell faded a long time ago — these tips and products can help.

    1. Use a three-step headlight lens restoration kit to get your cloudy ol' lights clear like new. You just apply the provided surface activator — which softens the plastic, making it easier to sand smooth. Then you sand and polish the headlights before sealing them with the UV Block Clear Coat applicator.

    2. Try a bottle of Rain-X Original Windshield Treatment for some seriously dramatic improvements to your visibility when you're driving — it works by repelling rain and reducing the adhesion of sleet, mud, bugs, and snow on your windshield.

    3. Throw in a cupholder adapter. It's designed with an open slot so you can fit your mugs with handles into your cupholder. And it's big enough for your water bottles!

    4. Add a little flair with a light saber wiper blade cover because The Force is always with you when you're cruising down the street.

    5. Clean up your collection of bumper stickers with a Whizzy Wheel car decal and sticker remover. Just attach it to your drill and it'll safely remove all the stickers you want to get rid of — so you can replace them with new, less faded ones.

    6. Use a magnetic charging cord to keep all your dangling wires tangle-free when you're not using them.

    7. Get yourself a reusable ChomChom Roller Dog Hair Remover that'll seriously get rid of that unintentional fur car seat with just a few rolls. And before you ask, it doesn't use sticky tape! It's made using a sturdy brush system.

    16. Utilize the front seats to help with the backseats! Get a set of super durable leather and stainless hangers that attach right onto your headrest and quickly blend in with your fancy car while they hold phones, shopping bags, coats... the list goes on.

    17. Do you have those black "buttons" in your car that you have no idea why they're there? Well, give them purpose with a set of Mario Kart-themed vinyl decals that'll have those buttons releasing shells, bullets, and even bananas. The other drivers won't know what hit 'em!

    22. Put a side organizer in your console to not only fill that crevice that manages to suck in all your french fries but it'll also hold all your stuff — its pockets can collect your change, keep your phone safe, and even hold your coffee if you want it to.

    23. And while you're at it, get a set of car seat gap fillers to put an end to the french fry graveyard that is the space between your center console and your seat.

    24. Stay prepared with a straight-up beautiful BlingSting First AID KIT Rose Gold Clutch filled with the things you might need in the event of an emergency.

    25. Have a place to throw away all your trash (that isn't your passenger seat floor) with a sturdy hanging car trash can designed with a liftable lid and to be totally leakproof — go ahead, spill an entire drink in there! It's not going anywhere.

    26. Give a little shade with set of sun, glare, and UV ray protecting EcoNour Car Window Sun Shades designed using a mesh fabric that'll leave your car cooler and with a bit more privacy.
