Interior Acessories?

[Seiryuu]

Hello all,

Just wanted to ask for a few opinions and feedbacks.

- the most popular interior accessories for this car? I'm guessing it is phone holders?

- Are there any interior accessories/gadgets (or categories of them) that this car needs or needs to have a better selection of?

- What is your favorite?

What I mean by accessories/gadgets is anything you put inside the car that improves the quality of life for you including its aesthetics, and functionality. Stuff like phone holders, air fresheners, floor mats, shift knobs, to like trim pieces, race seats and headunits just as examples. All inclusive as long as it is interior related.

Would like to know what you guys think. Just a curiosity topic.

Thank you very much!

Hello and welcome Seiryuu from the PNW -

That may depend upon the year of the car. For my 2013 FR-S the first thing I put in was an arm rest for my right arm. The second thing was an aftermarket radio head unit, so I could have GPS and SiriusXM.

That's it.

My favorite "air freshener" are those hanging moisture absorber bags / odor eliminators, the unscented kind. Keeps the inside of the car feeling nice and dry when you get in, keeps windows from fogging while sitting. They collect a lot of water after a couple weeks in humid weather.

Woah, got a link?

@kev0 Arm & Hammer moisture absorber bags. Or damprid brand, though most of those are heavily scented.

My interior accessories:

• Sliding sunshade extension to cover the length of the side window

• Valentine 1 radar detector

• Red top ATC 20mm steering wheel

• Phone mount of my own design that mounts the phone next to the stereo using the stereo mounting bolts under the dash bezel

• TapTurn flasher relay

• Dual (soon to be quad) USB power supply mounted under dash, powered from the fuse panel, with power cables run to the center dash and driver door frame

• Galaxy Note running Torque as an engine monitor, mounted to the small triangular window in the driver's door; can double as a second GPS or weather radar display as needed

• OBDLink MX bluetooth adapter

• Emdom GT86 seat belt shoulder pads

• Amazon Echo Auto

• Scion FR-S USDM sliding arm rest

• Cup holder from the "As Seen On TV" store

• JDM padded center console knee rests

• Cusco heel/toe accelerator pedal

• Automotive trash can made to accept grocery bags as liners

• Fire extinguisher

• Jumper cables

• Tire inflator

• Jump starter

• Emergency flasher pucks

• Paper towels

• Umbrella

• Rescue knife with seat belt cutter and window breaker

• A supply of VitaThinQ caffeine mints

• Extra pair of sunglasses

• 35% ceramic tint on side windows; 20% rear

• LED door pool lights

• Red LED overhead interior light to preserve night vision (which I'll likely change because it's not bright enough)

• Insanely bright LED strip in the trunk

Items I have on hand but haven't yet deployed:

• 949 Racing 50mm steering column extension

• Passenger seat office organizer

• Valentine 1 remote display

• JP Instruments digital aircraft oil pressure gauge (to replace the digital clock in the dash)

• Thinkware front/rear dash cam kit

• OBDII port relocation kit - to relocate it to the useless cubby next to the start button in the center console

Additionally, my phone is an automotive/travel accessory itself with the following apps:

• Torque Pro

• Radar Now (weather radar)

• NOAA Hi-Def Radar

• Alexa App (works with the Echo Auto)

• USA Rest Stops

• Google Maps (standard installation, but I use it extensively instead of the shitty gimmick apps like Waze)

I installed Gas Buddy during the hurricane evacuation to find stations along the route that still had fuel, but I deleted it shortly after the crisis was over because it kept forcing popup notifications even after I blocked it. That spyware crap probably still has something running on my phone.

I'm probably forgetting something. I'll add it later if I think of anything.

Squash scent? That's not what would have immediately come to mind for an air freshener.

"Hey, you know what would smell good in this car? The lovely scent of squash!"

OMFG yes. Donut media is so freaking obnoxious. Hate watching it. All their try-hard humor is so cringeworthy

No, but you wouldn't notice most of it. It's a lot of small subtle changes, not a conversion to an aircraft cockpit.

If you don't have an armrest, get that first. Next thing I got was these rubber mats, the weathertech ones are just too big and too much rubber for Ca. These basic rubber mats are cheaper and they hold up much better than the oem cloth crap mats the car came with. I started wearing through my cloth mats near the throttle within 6 months, those rubber ones have held up since 2014.

Oh I also got this little plastic insert with the 86 logo to go in that strange vacant emblem spot below the shifter. It looks totally OEM if you ask me which is what I gravitate towards.
