Purely Aesthetics

Automotive lights are primarily used for safety. These auto parts illuminate the road especially at night and aid the driver to safely operate the vehicle. Although lights are traditionally used for that purpose, there are specialty lights that help boost the overall look of the four-wheel machine. Automiq Power and Light’s GloRyder Wheel Light is the best choice to ‘flare’ up those wheels.

By simply changing the center part of the wheel with a special cap, the GloRyder Wheel Lights can already be used. Carefully designed and engineered, the LED light of each wheel is smart enough to only light up during the evening. The GloRyder is equipped with what the company calls the photo and motion sensors that detects if it’s already night. Moreover, the maker of the GloRyder can also customized the LED lights to spell out words, phrases, logos.

GloRyder first debuted in the market in 2005 and a year later was hailed as the SEMA Show Best New Product for 2006.

Participants and enthusiasts of the European Limousine and Chauffeur Show will surely be left in awe when they finally set their eyes and hands in a mean and fast Ferrari that was customized to reach up to a whopping 23 feet.

The alleged debuting jet-black Ferrari 360 Modena Limo will be part of the United Kingdom-based limousine exhibition this September 18. Dan Cawley, who is the owner of the transformed Ferrari, spent a burning £200,000 and hired Carbonyte UK to manage the changes on the motor sports staple car. Instead of the traditional luxury bars, Cawley opted to install six more seats to house more passengers in the new Ferrari Limo. The seats with big seatbelt straps looked a lot like those used in roller coaster rides. Moreover, the usual doors were upgraded to open upward.

In terms of speed, this customized Ferrari Limo can still boast of its ceiling 170 miles per hour rate. Its precision-engineered engine can produce as much as 400-horsepower and can jump from zero to 60 miles per hour under six counts.

This customized Ferrari Limo and other hundred unique automobile and motorcycle finds will grace the said exhibition in Birmingham. As a fund raising event, those who like to experience cruising in these autos can simply give any amount to ‘Make a Wish Foundation.’

Before the month of August ends, the 1950s enthusiasts got the chance to live and to rock the magical era starting with the cars

Lead East debuted as early as 1983 at the Flemington Fairgrounds. It started as a small custom car show and everything ’50s party.

“People come from all over the country and the world to attend this event,” said Cook. “We have people who drove from Texas to show their cars year after year. Many friendships have been made and people keep in touch with each other. The atmosphere is like no other, and there is so much to do that you just can’t do it all in one day.”

The event’s name was derived from a local and 1950s American pop culture term “Lead”, which means “to customize”. The participating cars have been physically altered and customized for the event.

“New Jersey is filled with car enthusiasts, and we expect about 15,000 people attended this year,” Cook said.

Vintage car enthusiasts took seriously the challenge of customizing these rides for the Fillmore Auto Show and Flea Market held at the Fillmore Glen State Park over the weekend.

This annual event has made the vintage car owners all boxed up in their garages for endless tinkering and customizing of these old but still superb looking automobiles.

Duke Whitt’s 1968 Charger was one of the looker in the Moravia auto show. Whitt got his hands all soiled up as he painted the vintage car black with gold-sparkled clear coat on top. The inner part of the Charger, on the other hand, had upholstered seats and newly-installed pristine white carpet.

“Everybody wants to know why I put in white carpet. Nobody’s going to ride it in. It’s my baby,” said Whitt.

About 400 cars pre-registered in the event, but 100 of these had to go out because there was no more room left for these cars to park.
