When you buy a new car there are many ways you can make it your own, from choosing individual packages to unique colour combinations. However, the option sheet can sometimes only take you so far. But it doesn’t have to end there. If you want to give a unique touch to your car or have some very specific needs, you may want to pay a visit to the accessories department of your Lexus dealership.

But first, why should you get Genuine Lexus Accessories instead of generic, possibly cheaper parts? Primarily because of the quality—each part has been designed specifically for your vehicle and tested using Lexus’ exacting standards. Furthermore, they will not void your car’s warranty if installed by the dealership. Finally, those accessories come with their very own warranty, giving you peace of mind for the future.

Here are six ways you can customize your Lexus:

1: Genuine Tow Hitch Receiver: For those who need to haul more gear than your SUV can fit, a tow hitch is a perfect addition. This unit has been tested to meet the maximum towing capacity of your vehicle and is mounted high enough so it won’t impact ground clearance or protrude from the rear bumper.

2: Paint Protection Film: Whether you want to keep your Lexus for many years or are leasing it, a Paint Protection Film is a cost-effective way of protecting the front of your vehicle from scratches, rock chips and discolouration. It’s urethane-based, pretty much invisible and can be waxed and buffed like the rest of the vehicle. It even comes with a seven-year limited warranty.

3: Wheels: There are many reasons why you might want to buy new wheels for your Lexus: maybe you simply wish to have a second set to quickly swap from your all-season to your winter tires, or perhaps you want to give your car a different look. Regardless of the reason, there is a wide variety of wheels available from your Lexus parts department. Go ahead and customize.

4: Spoiler: Sometimes, it’s the little details that make all the difference. If you want to give a little stylistic upgrade to your vehicle, a rear spoiler might be the perfect solution. There are various models available for the vast majority of Lexus’ lineup, so you can definitely find a perfect match for your tastes. Having it fitted by the dealership is a good idea, too; they know exactly where to drill and won’t damage the paint during the installation.

5: Lexus Start+: This remote engine starter fully integrates with your vehicle’s electronics and safety system, works as far as 800 meters and will make all the difference during those cold mornings. Plus, this system is also warranted for the balance of the new vehicle limited warranty when bought and installed at your Lexus dealership.

6: F Sport Products: For example, there is a full range of performance parts available for the IS, the RC and the GS (among others). Known as F Sport, this line of product features cat-back exhausts, cold-air intake, lowering springs and much more.

So, whether you need something to improve your vehicle’s practicality, are looking for a visual upgrade or for a protective option to maintain your Lexus’ looks, check out the accessories department of your Lexus dealership.
