Hey man, this is excellent. Thank you for taking the time to do this. I loved that bumper lip and sure it would match the Civic's sporty stance!

@samaspire - Thanks a lot for the list. Found many items that I didn't know were available and are very useful.

Some suggestions to add from my side. Not adding links as these are across multiple sites. Some of these I have bought and used.

• Car DVR (I have a mirror mounted one)
• Compass/Thermometer/Hygrometer (I have a compass/thermometer combo)
• Inclinometer (for Jeeps/Gypsies) (Have one in my Thar)
• Driver Armrest (for cars that dont come with one). May require some drilling.(Added this for my Swift when it was available at Maruti as an accessory)
• A DC to AC converter (I have a Belkin one)
• A fire extinguisher (I have one)
• Tire Pressure gauge(Have an analogue one from GP road)
• Mobile Holder to view Maps/Navigation (Am on my third one)
• Under-seat plastic tray to hold car cleaning cloth/other miscellaneous items (from any household items store)(Have this on my Thar)
• ORVM Blind spot convex mirrors(You stick these on the edges of the mirror to catch any two wheeler hiding in your blind spot)(Have this on my Thar)
• Portable powered air compressor/Foot pump (On wish list)
• Noodle Mesh Mats(cheaper to buy and DIY than get at 3M etc)(On wish list)

Excellent Thread

Couple of additions from my side. Using these items for quite some time now.

- Silicon soft car key cover. Good grip and protection for the key.
- Soft PU armrest cover. provides cushioning and support on long drives.

Both purchased from aliexpress.

Your suggestion is good, but which model do I start with?
But I'll give it a try.


I have my doubts too, but customer feedback from various listings say that it works. I will confirm when I have installed the arrows. They have been lying in a box for the last month.

Any model with which you have a personal experience would suffice, I guess.

As an e.g.: I found this male harness adapter for the OEM HU for Toyota Etios/ Liva after hours of search. Couldn't find this in India in online/ offline shops. The keyword here? The model number (CA1816) which in turn was found after quite a bit of research.

W.r.t the integrated turn indicator, I too am awaiting your feedback Somehow I was sceptical about it earlier, looking at the images the vendors have shared.

Amazing thread, samaspire! I frequently find myself checking such accessories out online when I've nothing better to do and I completely understand the pain you've gone through to compile them beautifully. I'm sure all car owners, old and new, will find this thread extremely helpful. Two thumbs up!

This is an awesome thread. I got so many ideas reading through this. Thanks for taking the trouble to write up all this!

Thanks a lot for the fantastic and comprehensive collection of accessories for the car.
I certainly am going to get the seat back organiser and the bumper guard rubber trims.
I was just browsing through Aliexpress and realised that there are loads of different kinds of accessories available; too many choices.
One could spend hours shopping and end up buying some unwanted stuff as well in addition to the useful ones.

Looks promising, I get severe neck/shoulders pain after driving in traffic for more than 3 hours everyday.

Yeah, too many things on Aliexpress. I usually go in the automotive accessory section there and sort the list by 'Orders'. That lists the most popular ones.
