Personalised vehicles?

In a bid to set a world record for the most useless vehicle-related product ever, a firm has developed what it calls the Carstache.

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

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.
