Smile What interior decorations do you have in your car?

My car is as clean as can be...except for the stained carpet and mats. I have a couple of things hanging on my mirror, made out of crystal that is suppose to protect me from evils.

I also have air fresheners, squash scented. [Girlfriend demanded I put it in my car (She likes lights)] You all should try it, it doesn't smell as funky as it sounds. I have one that has a LED light that flashes blue with vibration. It's pretty bright. I haven't tried pulling any one over with it though. Should be funny when I start flashing it when I see people running reds. People run reds all the time here.

I am wondering what else I can add to make my car feel more homely.

I have 2 Rosaries hanging from my rear view along with my Filipino Flag. Aside from that theres nothing else "decorating" it. I consider myself a minimalist. lol.

Haha, me too, my 'decorations' are my student parking sticker, and mp3 player.

I found an awesome way to remove the stains from the floor mats too. I just got mine in today, awesome condition except for a couple spots, and am amazed at how closely they fit everything. I have never seen floor mats that are this snug.

I've got nothing... In fact, the car typically looks like it should be sitting in the lot of a car dealership... I am a total minimalist...

Hmm, I've thought about that, especially the back, the footwells need more light, I want to get some, white or green, maybe blue, and hook them up to either a switch, or the door courtesy lights, any more info on yours?

My interior is decorated with my state's inspection sticker, then a bead necklace around my rearview mirror. I also have a garage door opener and a sunglasses holder on the visor. Plus, an iPod remote right next to the shifter and that's about it.

Haha, not even my garage door opener comes out, it fits nice and snug in the top arm rest thing. I have a thing of CD's on the passanger visor though, which serves double as a glasses holder.

Hey Ken, isn't your car a 3.2? Why are there no heated seat buttons next to the shifter?

Good eye!

Custom wood at the time done by me and my uncle. (for a time I didnt have the switches)

They've been added since


BTW, you'll notice what is wood and what is plastic in that pic. The cupholder lid is still plastic, you can tell from how shiney it is. The real wood is a deeper color.

I have a very Acura interior. Meaning the stuff the car came with.

I chromed the shiftplate with an RL thingy.

Props to Ken on the real wood finish. It's like something a Maybach would have.

Is it just me or our steering wheels really plain? Other companies have a nice big color logo. Like BMWs etc. We have subtle stenciled ACURA letters.

I sort of like that look. If you really look at everything though, it is pretty minimalistic design, everything hides away really nicely it seems.

Yeah, the steering wheels are plain. I like the Acura logo in the '02 and '03 TL's.

Nothing except the chrome RL shift gate, cd's on the visors, and what makes it most like home, TV in the passenger seat and DVD under the seat. I am going to be doing SOME minor aluminum accents, just for effect. Not going to go overboard, just want to brighten up a few areas. I think it will come out quite nicely. Pics will follow of course.
