Urban living is monotonous. After waking up in the morning, you go to the office. Then you go home late in the afternoon or early evening.

Your car is one thing that always goes with you whatever and wherever your activity is. To avoid monotony in daily living, why not freshen up your car for you to see something different in and off the road.

How to freshen it up? Start with the exterior.

The exterior is the first thing that people see when looking at your car. Make it stand out among the auto mobiles in the parking area. Make some refinements on the exterior.

Tires easily lift up a car's appearance. To make them more striking, buy new hubcaps or wheel covers. If you want new rims, get the taller and wider ones to make your vehicle more aggressive. Get the rims designs that suit your taste. Once you change the rims, you must also change the tires so that the two will complement each other.

To add privacy and mystery to your car, tint the windows. You can either apply tinted, adhesive sheets to your windows or replace your windows with tinted glass.

To reflect your personality and the car's true identity, customize the license plate frame. You can put some fake barbed wires, dollar signs, platinum plates, and lights to enhance the name plate.

Replacing the side mirrors will further contribute to the refreshing of your car. Pair of side mirrors with lights that blink with your turn signals or LED lights that are blue when driving and yellow when signaling are some of the options.

As to the lights, change the lenses of the head and tail lights. Light covers, fog lights, remote controlled spotlights and neon tubes underneath your car to make it brilliant are also options.

For your car to immediately look like it had under gone a general make over, change the paints. New fenders, hood or a spoiler are also good options.

After the outer part, go inside the car and customize the interior.

Change the seat covers. At the auto stores are several options of ready made covers. They are available in a variety of solid colors. Try those colors that look refreshing such as light green or yellow.

You can also use custom floor mats to further improve the appearance of the floor. Just make sure you choose those which are of good quality and those that will fit your interior. If you prefer, you can select floor mats which are made up of a thick, waterproof rubber to keep mud and snow off the carpeting.

To prevent a leather dash from cracking, use dashboard covers. These further add style and reduce the reflections in your windshield. You can choose from wide varieties of dash covers which are made up of faux and real wood finishes, carbon fiber and metal.

For your stick shift, use a racing cover. Or if you prefer, you can replace it with any number of specialty knob covers. You can choose between a miniature eight ball and one that is ergonomically shaped.

Your turn signal lever can also be replaced with an aluminum lever. You can also change the faceplate on your gauges. For your accelerator, brake and clutch, you can use racing pedals or pedal covers.

Customize your steering wheel. To save your hands from a super-hot wheel, a fabric steering wheel cover is the solution.

If you prefer go all-out refreshments, you can reupholster the seats and carpeting with anything from basic cloth to leather to high-end designer fabrics.

To further enhance the ambiance of the interior, add a stereo system. Other electronic options are speakers, a 16-disc changer, navigation systems, complete with televisions, DVD players, surround sound and a cell phone holder.

With this high tech era, the car electronic options are indefinite in numbers. So when making some improvements in your car, you have very wide options of what to add on.

Those were just few of the thing which you can do to add life to your car's appearance. After doing it, you will see a significant difference between your old one that seems to add to the monotony of your daily routine and the new one that looks very striking and appealing and refreshes your day.
