Accessorizing an automobile correctly runs a very fine line. Go too far and you could wind up with something that looks like it came from a J.C. Whitney catalog, don’t go far enough and you have what looks to be a halfhearted backyard project. The key to doing it properly is choosing the best accessories that not only compliment the car, but ad functionality as well. Fake hood scoops, fart pipes and air intakes don’t really do it for me, but strap on a nice set of driving lights, and well… you had me at hello. For some reason driving lights portray a sense of speed and competition and in my opinion enhance the visual appeal of the vehicle. In urban environments a good set of driving lights falls into the category of “useless”, as you’d basically be blinding everyone as they drove by. Head down the road less traveled however and the enhance visibility they provide can truly be a lifesaver.
