Hey guys, I’ve been rebuilding a crashed car that I brought from the auctions (during math class), about 3 months ago in my driveway. Recently the car has finally been road legal approved, so I’m looking to get some nice additions to the car to make it look more clean.
Below 👇 are pictures of what the car looks like at first

that's quite an impressive job you've done and it already looks quite good.
I'd say some nice rims, tires and coilovers/springs could make it look a bit cleaner.
depending on personal preference some people like to remove badges as well.
I'd also say drive it as it is, see what it's like and do some mods and changes that you feel it needs from a personal opinion standpoint and keep in mind that you might wanna visually modify the inside since that's what you spend most of your time looking at

What are some good modifications for the inside that you recommend? Ive looked to get some steering wheel covers and covers for the gear shifter/ hand break. any other suggestions?

I'd avoid steering wheel covers TBH, you could research what wheels with an airbag that you like the look and feel off would fit and could replace the original wheel if you don't like it.
for the gear shifter if it's a manual you could do a short shifter, an afternarket knob or swap out the shift boot depending on preferences.
some people will replace or reupolster their seats which can get costly quick but make a big difference to how the car feels to sit in.
some people might change the material of their dash, this is quite common if you have a plastic one.
some people will use wrap or try (and often fail) at painting small trim pieces like the frame around vents, door handles, so on so forth.
there's sometimes aftermarket rear view mirrors.
the list gles on, you just gotta be creative and take your time

Honestly, just keep it simple. I think what you should do to keep it clean is put a carbon fiber front lip, lower it just a tad bit to remove that extra space between the tire and the inner fender. Then work on the engine. Replace all the gaskets and the spark plugs for better ones. Then you should put a better exhaust and a turbo on it, and lastly put a fire or a pop tune on it. It would be legendary. To make it look really cool just keep it really clean and maybe add some negative camber to it. Nothing too noticeable but still there if you look closely enough.
