Toyota of Orlando's Guide to Car Exterior Accessories

There's nothing better than sitting in the driver's seat of your new ride from Toyota of Orlando. Smelling that new car smell, feeling the steering wheel in the palms of your hands, tapping the pedals, you get the idea. It's a feeling that only comes around every so often (more or less, depending on how often you change out your ride) that's truly special. However, some drivers might be looking for a little extra oomph from that new car feeling. They want to stand out from the pack and we definitely get it.

Part of the fun of driving a new car is making it your own. Whether that involves putting a new air-freshener on your mirror or a spoiler on your trunk lid, the possibilities are limitless when it comes to accessorizing your ride. The outside of your vehicle, in particular, is a prime place to flex your car exterior accessories and Toyota of Orlando is here with a guide to get you started on your journey to true automobile individualism.

Car Exterior Accessories to Spice Up Your Vehicle

Roof Racks

What accessory doubles as both a cool aesthetic piece and a practical storage device? Orlando Toyota roof racks. These unique devices attach to the top of your car and can be used to haul things on top of your vehicle safely. They also look pretty cool, if we're being honest. Most SUVs, like the Toyota RAV4 and 4Runner, come standard with a set of parallel roof running boards that you can then attach horizontal roof racks to. Sedans rarely come equipped with these car exterior accessories as standard features, but aftermarket roof racks can be installed. You can even remix this accessory with even cooler designs like a cargo basket (that ones comes equipped on the new Toyota 4Runner Venture Edition). 

Rear Spoilers

Nothing screams custom quite like a rear spoiler. These unique Orlando car exterior accessories mold right into the body of your vehicle on the rear-end to improve your vehicle's drag, up the style factor, and improve your aerodynamics. They come in a variety of styles, each providing a unique look and feel to your vehicle. Some Toyota models come with rear spoilers standard, but aftermarket ones can always be outfitted for your particular ride. 

Tow Hitch Accessories

If you drive an Orlando Toyota truck or larger SUV, this one's for you. Tow hitches can do so much more (and look like so much more) than just haul trailers. They can be outfitted with a variety of car exterior accessories. There's the obvious tow hitch cover, which can be easily personalized, cargo carriers, bike racks, and aftermarket trailer hitch types. The possibilities are endless for such a seemingly simple accessory. 

Wheel Spacers

While these accessories can seem a little tricky, they're a great way to modify your vehicle's stance, handling, and overall look. Wheel spacers attach underneath the face of your Orlando Toyota vehicle's wheel and to the brake disk to, essentially, space your wheel away from the inside of your wheel weld. Depending on the size and type you use, you can see a difference in your vehicle's handling and cornering. Plus, they come in stylish designs and paint colors for a truly custom look.
