Pimp Your Ride – Car Accessories…
So you’re gonna buy a new car. What’s it going to be like? After eliminating all the nice cars in the ground of fuel economy and overall price, what you are left with is a handful of not-so-hot looking sedans and (mostly) hatchbacks. After the new-car thing has worn off you are somehow let down by the look of the car, though you can’t really point out what went wrong. The fact of the matter is that these cars were not designed to be head-turners, but to go easy on your wallet and (with some luck) on the road. Apart from complaining (although not so openly) car owners, most youngsters are driven (pun intended) to infuse a certain personality into their cars or just want to experiment. We tell you about various car accessories that enhance the look of your car. We also help you to find the accessory that best fits your car.
How’s it Hangin – front,side and trunk skirts:
Anyone who has played Need For Speed will tell you a thing or two about customizing your car by adding a few accessories. Based on your choice you can make your car look big, sleek or just plain snobby. Side and front skirts make a car look bigger than they actually are. These work well for tall hatchbacks, and small sedans. The bigger the car, the smaller the skirt – seems to be the formula that defines the line between custom and crazy. In already large cars, bigger side skirts sometime make the car look like a sloppy washing machine. Here are two cars – swift hatchback and civic sedan with body kits.
Maruti Suzuki Swift car accessories
Maurti Suzuki Swift Front Skirt
Swift is the only car from Maruti that spells ‘macho’ all over. The front skirt shown below lends a masculine feel to the already sporty look. The small car seems a little grown up. The skirt style does not stand out and merges with the design of the car. The finish too is well done.

Now what do you think your car will look like if it sported only a front skirt? Bulky? Out of proportion? Exactly. With the stylish front one can’t settle with a small, puny side skirt. So thinking big, like always, has worked. The flared wheel arches of the Swift make this accessory look less flamboyant and more pristine.

Unlike the side and front skirts, the rear skirts incorporates the rear wheel arch in the same angle and curve without which it might not have looked as good. The slot for the exhaust looks a little out of place, but given the complications involved it can be forgiven.
Honda civic car accessories

The Civic is one of the most stylish cars in Indian road today, thanks to Honda. One would think that it is next to impossible to improve it’s design. Well, the pictures say it all. The headlights that give a mean look to the car are somehow made prominent without touching them at all! The design looks aggressive and the finish top class.
A curious thing about customization is that one doesn’t know when to stop. Overdoing can prove fatal. Here however the side skirts are made with as little curves as possible taking care not to affect the overall theme of the car.

I know that most of you thought that only girls look good in skirts. Hope this article has enlightened you otherwise. We’ll explore the other parts in a car where one can individualize in the future (hopefully). Here is a sign of things to come. Keep guessing.
