This post marks the end of our 30-day systematic sharing of custom EV accessory knowledge. Over the past 29 articles, we have covered model identification, material performance comparison, waterproof & wear resistance tests, daily maintenance, summer heat protection, non-drill exterior upgrades, vehicle resale value protection, budget bundled sets, DIY installation tutorials and complete customer FAQ.
Many overseas owners told us these serial blogs helped them distinguish low-quality universal parts from professional model-exclusive accessories and avoid countless purchase and installation pitfalls. This summary article integrates all core key points into a complete buying workflow, so you can quickly build the most suitable protection solution for your ZEEKR, XPENG, GEELY Starray EM-i, AION V/UT or LEAPMOTOR B10/C10 LHD/RHD EV.
1. Core Principle: Choose Model-Exclusive Custom Accessories, Reject Universal Generic Parts
All series articles repeatedly emphasize this core standard. Universal mats, seat covers and exterior guards have unmatched radian, blocked pedals, hidden airbag safety risks and poor durability.
1:1 3D scanned dedicated accessories are molded separately according to vehicle year, LHD/RHD layout and facelift version, achieving zero-gap fitting without modifying your original car. This is the foundation of long-term safe and effective protection.
2. Step 1: Confirm Complete Vehicle Information Before Ordering
Refer to Day24 tutorial to lock accurate vehicle parameters to avoid mismatched goods:
1. Confirm full official model name: distinguish AION V/AION UT, LEAPMOTOR B10/C10;
2. Confirm production year to tell old version and facelift version apart;
3. Confirm LHD or RHD layout (the top cause of returned mismatched accessories);
4. Provide VIN code or interior photos if you are unsure about your car configuration.
3. Step 2: Select Matching Protection Kits Based On Usage Scenarios
Three tiered budget bundles introduced in Day27 fit different user demands:
1. Entry Commuter Bundle (Low budget): TPE floor mats + screen tempered films + center console tray, solve daily basic cabin dirt and scratch problems;
2. Mid-Tier Family Full Interior Bundle (Most popular): Add airbag-safe seat covers, trunk mats, door anti-kick pads and door sill guards, perfect for families with kids and pets;
3. Premium All-Round Interior & Exterior Bundle (Long-term car retention): Add no-drill mud flaps, bumper anti-collision strips and wheel arch guards, realize full vehicle non-destructive protection inside and outside.
4. Step 3: Core Product Performance Advantages Recap

5. Step 4: Standard DIY Installation & Daily Maintenance Rules
Follow Day28 installation guide to avoid common mistakes: clean surface fully, distinguish front/rear direction, lock all fixing buckles, avoid car washing within 24 hours after sticking adhesive exterior parts.
Daily maintenance tips from Day22: use neutral detergent only, avoid long-term sun exposure for TPE parts, dry mats fully before reinstallation to prevent mold and odor.
6. Step 5: Seasonal Special Protection Advice
Refer to Day23 summer essential accessories guide:
- Long outdoor parking: prioritize custom car sunshades to block UV and slow interior fading;
- Rainy coastal & snowy areas: full set high-edge TPE mats + no-drill mud flaps are mandatory;
- High temperature regions: choose breathable seat covers to avoid sticky sweat discomfort.
7. Step 6: After-Sales & Shipping Common Questions
All frequently asked questions are covered in Day29 FAQ:
- Global shipping: standard 15-30 working days, expedited 7-12 working days;
- Warranty policy: 2-year warranty for interior accessories, 1-year warranty for exterior adhesive parts;

8. Long-Term Return On Investment: Accessories Lift EV Resale Value
