Top 5 Car Accessories that makes your car better
1. Air freshener- by a quality one, as they have mostly mild aromas that don't cause nausea while driving. Having a nice odor in your car not only makes you feel better but the passengers also.
2. Arm rest- if you've driven long distances, you've probably noticed that it wouldn't be a bad thing if you could rest your right arm, or lean on the side a bit. The arm rest is perfect for that. You can buy it for a fair price and the installation is simple. Most arm-rests are retractable and offer additional space in the cabin (for keys, documents, etc).
3.Auto upholstery- the seats on most used cars are in bad shape. If there aren't any holes, scratches or torn-up parts, then the original fabric is pale from usage, sun etc. Changing the upholstery can make a world of change, there is a wide variety of colors, fabrics and even with heating. You can combine this with new foot-pads.
4. Cosmetic spray for plastics- mostly a silicone based spray that revives the look of your plastic. You can apply it when you wash your car (not every time) and rub it in with a cloth. The effect is nice as you'll get the plastic in good looking shape again. Most sprays have in it a nice aroma which makes the effect even better.
5. Steering wheel and gear ****: this is a rather costly option, as custom steering wheels aren't cheap. But you can find a nice half plastic-half wood steering wheel for a reasonable price. The variety of the gear ***** is endless so it's up to you. It would be nice for the steering wheel and gear **** to be alike.

I think we're all in agreement that old Volvos smell!!
On a 240, the optional arm rest is wonderful.
IPD 25/25mm sway bars
Bilstein shocks
wider tires
USB input on radio. The heck w/ CD's. I can plug a thumb drive in and have hundreds of songs right there. Coolest thing in 20 years.

Well, I do have a set of black pleather dice!! As we all know, the 240 really lacks places for drink holders. The map pockets will hold a 12 oz. can but that's it. So, I just scored an excellent condition 240 arm rest with cup holders. Will make the GT super special!
