First Car Accessories You Must Have
For a first car, protection beats decoration. The must-have accessories are door edge guards, a dashboard anti-slip mat and a sill protector: cheap insurance against the damage that hurts resale most.
Protect before you personalize
New drivers scrape doors and slide items on the dash. Spend the first $30 on guards, not stickers.
Three starter buys
Door edge guards (lot chips), a gel dashboard mat (no sliding phone), and a sill protector (boot scuffs). All install in minutes.
