The utterly pointless product allows an owner to personalise a vehicle according to the company's founder. The Carstache is available in a range of colours including black, brown, orange and pink. Other useless products already available from the same firm on which car owners can needlessly waste their money include CarLashes. These are fake eyelashes that can be attached to the headlights of cars and trucks and intended to appeal to female vehicle owners. According to the firm, these novelty products are said to be humorous.
