Your Ford Mustang already offers next-level performance and an immediately recognizable silhouette that tends to turn heads. Whether it’s a custom classic car or this year’s brand-new base model from the Ford Motor Company, Mustangs usually attract attention.

But a stock Mustang may feel like it starts to blend in. That’s the last thing you want to deal with.

You can make your pony car stand out whenever you show it off or bring a passenger along for the ride with Mustang interior parts and accessories. Ford Mustang shift boots, armrest covers, interior door panel covers, steering wheel covers, and more can all add unique style to your vehicle.

Let’s answer one of the top questions Mustang owners have about changing their vehicle. Then we’ll review some of the top Mustang interior accessories and customization options.

Can I Customize My Ford Mustang?

Oh, yeah. In plenty of elaborate ways, starting from small and inexpensive interior upgrades, all the way through four-digit-horsepower motors. The aftermarket support for the Mustang can be overwhelming. And rightly so, as Ford has sold over 10 million Ponies in the US alone!

Just look at the mind-boggling numbers:

• → 1st generation (1964-1973): 3 million
• → 2nd generation (1974-1978): 1.1 million
• → 3rd generation - Fox body (1979-93): 2.6 million
• → 4th generation (1994-2004): 1.6 million
• → 5th generation (2005-2014): 1 million
• → 6th generaton (2015-present): .5 million (and counting)

Bottom line: even on a short road, your Mustang will not be the only one present (well, if it’s a rarity like a Boss, Bullitt or Mustang Shelby GT500, chances are it will be, but read on!).

There are many accessories that will go a long way towards customizing your Ford Mustang. Upgrading with parts made of quality materials makesyour Mustang the nicer one, even if it’s a run-of-the-mill Mustang GT. And, since your workplace when driving your Mustang is the interior, we’ll focus on these in this article.

Must-Have Ford Mustang Interior Parts & Interior Accessories

Why modify your Mustang interior? Well, most of the time spent around your car will be in the interior. It’s an obvious direction to take on the path towards making your Mustang the best one around (or even out there).

You can change your Mustang interior completely, or just upgrade it incrementally. The sky (and your budget) are the only limits. But if bang for your buck is an important factor in your buying decisions, as it is for most people, we’re proud to suggest a few small but powerful modifications to your Mustang interior.

Let’s start with what’s directly ahead of you: the steering wheel. Usually showing signs of wear within a few years, it’s a component that can be significantly improved with an upgrade. Beyond restoring your steering wheel to a like-new condition, Ford Mustang steering wheel cover will:

✔ Potentially change the color and style of your wheel to better suit your aesthetic taste and the theme of your vehicle
✔ Improve your driving comfort by thickening the wheel – increasing wheel for a better driving experience
✔ Protect your factory steering wheel from further damage.

One key distinction to consider is whether you want a quick and dirty fix to your steering wheel condition, or if you want to do it the only right way.

The latter means reupholstering the wheel fully, wrap and spokes. There is a reason why all factory wheel covers are sewn (laced) on the respective steering wheel. That is the only way to make it look really good!

To that tune, the Ford Mustang steering wheel covers from RedlineGoods reupholster your wheel fully, rather than just cover up the defects. The job can be completed inside the vehicle (here's how to install a steering wheel cover yourself). If you are willing to go that route, the result you will achieve will be fantastic, like this for instance:

Besides the wheel, what other interior accessories can you get for your Mustang? Well, let’s move on to the piece you touch second most often: the shift boot.

It’s a piece that often wears with time and therefore deserves some attention. A Ford Mustang shift boot along with the emergency brake boot, can both be easily swapped. Turn them from factory-generic units into a pair of Mustang interior parts that really make a visual difference and finish off your custom theme beautifully:

Custom Interior Accessories for Your Ford Mustang

A shift boot and a steering wheel cover for a Ford Mustang eventually become must-haves. The condition of the factory-installed equipment inevitably worsens with time. That’s far from all, however, as far as Mustang interior accessories go.

A very typical pain point with all Mustangs since 2005 is the way the car’s doors are built. In particular, the factory vinyl or cloth door inserts. As time goes by, the glue used by Ford deteriorates and the door inserts peel off.

Alternatively, the vinyl itself doesn’t withstand the test of time. Constant application of heat, especially applicable to southern states, makes it brittle and leads to cracking.

RedlineGoods offers a solution: our Mustang door insert panel cover is the interior accessory that will allow you to solve this issue elegantly and permanently.

We use top-grade Italian leather, which is very durable and will withstand age and heat much better than factory vinyl. With proper application using high quality upholstery glue, you won’t have to replace them more than once. Even if you want to keep your Mustang for many years to come!

Another interior accessory worth considering is a Ford Mustang armrest cover. Honestly, not just the door inserts are a low point on many Mustangs.

The armrest on 10-14 cars is almost non-existent in that it provides almost no support. It does not rise above the center console, which means it’s too low for most people. Also, it’s rock-hard plastic. Even if your elbow can reach it, it’s not going to be too comfortable.

An important optional upgrade we offer for a Ford Mustang armrest cover is padding, which is a 3/4 inch thick layer of cushion inserted into the cover. This will increase your comfort level exponentially. So, even if you don’t need an armrest cover for aesthetic purposes, you might want to consider one for the added comfort it will provide.

If you are a pet lover, you probably noticed that driving around with dogs often results in irremovable claw marks on your armrest. Animals instinctively use claws to remain stable in a moving car. A new armrest cover will not only restore the vehicle's armrest to like-new condition, but will also protect it against further wear.
