Car decor ?

Hi. I have a really traditional white rav4. But I was thinking of decorating the inside a bit. The outside will only ever have a few band stickers. And nothing else. But I drive my car a ton. And would love to make it “my” car for lack of better terms. I was thinking of adding a cute blanket in the back seat. A console cover. And some cup holder coasters. But the more I read. The more I’m questioning if that’s a good idea. Some friends have told me to go for it. That no one will care what’s in my car. Do what makes me happy. But someone else told me it could make me a target since it’ll show a female may drive this car.
Mind you my windows are as dark as legally allowed. And it’s not super easy to see inside the car.

We went to blinds for less for my wife’s crv, got a great deal on drapes for the sides and a valance box for the rear window. They installed everything and did a great job!

My husband got me a personalized license plate. Now I can tell it's mine at a glance and remember the tag for parking. 😁

my favorite way is to add hook velcro to the back of patches, and then stick them on the ceiling

Best way to enjoy your car’s interior is to keep it clean. Feel free to make it your own. Only thing I’d push back against is those bedazzled steering wheels. It will make your airbag do the opposite of what it’s intended to do.
As for being targeted, you could always slap a 2nd amendment sticker on it if you feel like it. It’s like the car version of putting up fake security cameras.

Nope no bling here! 😂. Pink yes. Bling no! Nothing will be on or near the steering wheel. Or the gear shift as I know those are not places to “make your own” you need them to be safe!!

Unacceptable.
Unless you put an Alice in Chains sticker up too...

Enjoy it and make it yours. My wife has personalized hers to her liking and the only stipulations I have is to not put any clues as to what I do for a living which would suggest I'm not home all the time. Leave off the things that would indicate where you live or if you make a lot of money or your name and I think you'll be fine.

Thank you!!! The only thing on the outside are a couple band stickers. It’s how I tell my car apart from the five million lookalikes in a parking lot 😂
