You may not be giving a new car to someone on your Christmas list, but that does not mean that you cannot give a gift that will improve a current vehicle of a son, daughter, or spouse. From car window tinting service to car wraps and from headlight restoration services to new floor mats, car owners love the gift that improves their vehicle.
If you are a parent or grandparent who remembers the days of giving a boyfriend or a girlfriend a new cassette stereo for a car, you likely can relate to the trend of purchasing car accessories as Christmas gifts. And while cassette players may have been replaced more current technology like remote starters and seat warmers, any gift that improves a much used part of everyday life is a great choice.
Many After Market Vehicle Options Add to Both Value and Comfort of Cars, Trucks, and SUVs
With Christmas less than three weeks away, you may find yourself scrambling for gift ideas. And while many parents, spouses, and grandparents are still searching for that perfect gift to give their loved ones, others have already made the decision to give a gift that will increase the comfort and value of a vehicle. Consider some of these popular car, truck, and SUV gift ideas.
Car Window Tinting Services. Auto window tinting services are a popular gift idea. Whether car window tinting services are applied to improve the look of a vehicle, or if they are applied to reduce interior sun glare or improve privacy, these services can make a great gift.
Did you know that some studies indicate a 93% reduction in skin cell death when UV exposure is filtered through UV-absorbing auto glass? For drivers who are fair skinned, in fact, car window tinting services are simply an extension of the precautions that they already take to limit exposure to dangerous UV rays. For drivers who spend hours a day in their vehicles, sun glare, even through a car window can have a devastating effect. Applying a tint, on the other hand, can limit this dangerous exposure.
Although front car windshields are partially treated to filter out UVA, side windows let in nearly 63% of the sun’s UVA radiation. When you realize that some films or tints applied to car windows can block 99.9% of UV rays, you begin to understand the significance of this kind of gift. Add in the fact that a car’s interior can be up to 60% cooler on hot summer days when professionally installed window tints are applied and you will be even happier about your gift.
Vehicle Wraps. If you want to give a gift that adds a distinctive identity to a vehicle, consider giving someone a car wrap service certificate. Often used as a way to add full body graphics to a car to promote a certain product or service, car wraps can also be tastefully and sparingly applied to private cars. What may have been though of as pin striping in the days of cassette players, vehicle wraps can also be applied as identification marks on popular models and colors of cars that otherwise look very similar.
Clear Bras. Installed on the front of a car, clear bras are another popular gift for someone who loves his or her car. Applied by professionals, these protective products can last from seven to 10 years. The installation of a clear bra, also known as a paint protection film, can take anywhere from one to four hours. they can keep paint from chipping caused by everyday road wear caused by flying gravel and other kinds of debris.
For drivers who so not like the look of a clear bra, another after market add on can be a dark leather product tht serves a similar surface.
Electronic Products. If you are still looking for ideas for a gift for a car enthusiast on your list, you could also consider electronic seat warmers, car starters, and other after market electronic products. Americans spend an inordinate amount of time in their vehicles. Give an automobile accessory gift that will make those long hours traveling more enjoyable and pleasant.
