This brilliant blonde deserves the pinkest and most dazzling accessories to go along with her convertible. The more eye-catching the better, we say, especially for a girl like Elle. She lives and breathes her bright pink branding, and she isn&rsquo;t afraid to shout it to the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/license-plate-frame\/dash-designs\/dshlf06\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"The Dash Designs Pink and Silver License Plate Frame\">The Dash Designs Pink and Silver License Plate Frame<\/a> would fit Elle&rsquo;s iconic 22BLONDE license plate perfectly.

Whatever you choose to call him, there&rsquo;s no doubt Mr. Bond carries class as easily as he carries his Walther PPK. While 007 has driven a wide range of vehicles over the years on his various missions, we were left wondering what he might want installed in his personal ride.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We think the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/fog-light\/replacement\/set-f107911q\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Replacement Driver and Passenger Side Fog Lights\">Replacement Driver and Passenger Side Fog Lights<\/a> would make an excellent addition since he lives in often-foggy London. Fog lights are a must-have, and who knows, maybe Q can outfit them with a nasty surprise for anyone looking to jump the superspy on the road.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now a set of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/hub-cap\/dorman\/rb910108\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Dorman Hub Caps\">Dorman Hub Caps<\/a> is something that&rsquo;ll really let Q run wild on 007&rsquo;s behalf. Just think of what the genius inventor can hide behind that classy silver exterior.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Katniss Everdeen (Hunger Games)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"tenor-gif-embed\" data-postid=\"16575230\" data-share-method=\"host\" data-aspect-ratio=\"0.75\" data-width=\"100%\"><a href=\"https:\/\/tenor.com\/view\/bon-courage-good-luck-salute-kiss-you-can-do-it-gif-16575230\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" aria-label=\"Bon Courage Good Luck GIF\">Bon Courage Good Luck GIF<\/a>from <a href=\"https:\/\/tenor.com\/search\/bon+courage-gifs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" aria-label=\"Bon Courage GIFs\">Bon Courage GIFs<\/a><\/div> <script type=\"text\/javascript\" async src=\"https:\/\/tenor.com\/embed.js\"><\/script>\n\n\n\n<p>If the Girl on Fire had her own vehicle, what do you think she&rsquo;d carry around? The vehicles we see in the Hunger Games movie are mostly military trucks, and we wouldn&rsquo;t have been surprised if she nabbed one during one of her fights in the Capitol. Alas, we never get to see Katniss behind the wheel, so we&rsquo;ll never know. It&rsquo;s fun to think about though.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Considering she lives in a dystopia, we wouldn&rsquo;t be surprised if Katniss dragged around an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/jerry-can\/rt-off-road\/rt0rt26009\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"RT Off-Road Crown Jerry Can\">RT Off-Road Crown Jerry Can<\/a> filled with fuel for emergencies. Also, we wouldn&rsquo;t put it past her to use it to light up a scene.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Katniss would probably want a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/cargo-bag\/rhino-rack\/rhirlb350\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Rhino-Rack Cargo Bag\">Rhino-Rack Cargo Bag<\/a> to haul around any useful gear she finds.

What would a man who has everything want in his car? We&rsquo;d think a few precautionary items would be handy, especially in his line of work. Protecting the family is bloody, busy work, and Don Corleone knows it all too well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Don Corleone would likely want a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/cargo-mat\/husky-liners\/h2123221\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Husky Liners Weatherbeater Series Cargo Mat\">Husky Liners Weatherbeater Series Cargo Mat<\/a> or something similar in his trunk. Its weatherproof properties would be excellent for cleaning up after feeding the fishes or chopping off horse heads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For any valuable documents or precious cargo, Don Corleone would likely favor the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/under-seat-storage-box\/bestop\/d344264201\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Bestop Under Seat Storage Box\">Bestop Under Seat Storage Box<\/a>. It even has a lock to keep the contents safe from wandering eyes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Kevin McCallister (Home Alone)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"tenor-gif-embed\" data-postid=\"24304724\" data-share-method=\"host\" data-aspect-ratio=\"1.77778\" data-width=\"100%\"><a href=\"https:\/\/tenor.com\/view\/scream-ouch-shower-ow-home-alone-gif-24304724\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" aria-label=\"Scream Ouch GIF\">Scream Ouch GIF<\/a>from <a href=\"https:\/\/tenor.com\/search\/scream-gifs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" aria-label=\"Scream GIFs\">Scream GIFs<\/a><\/div> <script type=\"text\/javascript\" async src=\"https:\/\/tenor.com\/embed.js\"><\/script>\n\n\n\n<p>Ok, Kevin definitely wouldn&rsquo;t be driving the car since he&rsquo;s way too young. But you must admit, the little troublemaker would have a field day if he could find the right tools inside the family car to ward off any burglars. He might even sneak some supplies the next time his mom visits the hardware store with him and his siblings in tow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/cargo-net\/curt\/cur18202\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Curt Cargo Net\">Curt Cargo Net<\/a> could easily snag a thief or two if rigged right. Knowing Kevin, he&rsquo;d even manage to tie them straight to the car&rsquo;s cargo rack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Similarly, Kevin can set up all sorts of tripwires with a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/tow-rope\/smittybilt\/s53cc121\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Smittybilt Tow Rope\">Smittybilt Tow Rope<\/a>. If needed, the rope can even hold up a bag of bricks so Kevin can drop them on ne&rsquo;er do wells as he would an anvil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">MacGyver (MacGyver)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"tenor-gif-embed\" data-postid=\"16249813741917335820\" data-share-method=\"host\" data-aspect-ratio=\"1.33155\" data-width=\"100%\"><a href=\"https:\/\/tenor.com\/view\/macgyver-1985-smile-season-7-gif-16249813741917335820\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" aria-label=\"Macgyver 1985 GIF\">Macgyver 1985 GIF<\/a>from <a href=\"https:\/\/tenor.com\/search\/macgyver-gifs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" aria-label=\"Macgyver GIFs\">Macgyver GIFs<\/a><\/div> <script type=\"text\/javascript\" async src=\"https:\/\/tenor.com\/embed.js\"><\/script>\n\n\n\n<p>There&rsquo;s a reason the MacGyver name became synonymous with improvisation. MacGyver is an agent much like James Bond, but he&rsquo;s much more focused on the nitty gritties of field work and hates using guns. They&rsquo;re like two sides of the same coin. Where Bond would go for style and class, MacGyver would go for practicality and efficiency. Just think what he would keep in his car for special occasions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/multi-tool\/oemtools\/g5225541\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"OEMTOOLS Multi-Tool\">OEMTOOLS Multi-Tool<\/a> would never go amiss in MacGyver&rsquo;s glovebox. We wouldn&rsquo;t be surprised if he had multiples in case he lost one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>MacGyver could probably rig a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/jump-starter\/schumacher-electric\/selsj1329\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Schumacher Electric Jump Starter\">Schumacher Electric Jump Starter<\/a> in a dozen different ways. While we don&rsquo;t recommend you use it in any of those ways, we do think both you and MacGyver would appreciate this jump starter if your car battery ever goes kaput.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Lara Croft (Tomb Raider)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/lara-croft-tomb-raider-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"lara croft of tomb raider\" class=\"wp-image-118853\" style=\"width:1023px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/lara-croft-tomb-raider-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/lara-croft-tomb-raider-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/lara-croft-tomb-raider-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/lara-croft-tomb-raider-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/lara-croft-tomb-raider-1200x800.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/lara-croft-tomb-raider-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/lara-croft-tomb-raider.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Lara Croft: Tomb Raider.

Whether in the video games or movies, we think Lara would have a rough and tumble off-roadster with a kit to match. It&rsquo;d need to keep her and her precious artifacts safe as she barrels through the jungle pursued by bad guys, after all.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We think the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/offroad-bumper\/rugged-ridge\/1156110\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Rugged Ridge Off-Road Bumper\">Rugged Ridge Off-Road Bumper<\/a> would help with a lot of the barrelling. It serves to both protect Lara&rsquo;s front bumper and as an effective ram for anyone looking to stop her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We don&rsquo;t think Laura would install the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/cup-holder\/rugged-ridge\/13306.01\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Rugged Ridge Cup Holder\">Rugged Ridge Cup Holder<\/a>, but we do think her butler Winston might insist on it.
