Funny headlight "film"

I've seen some Hondas and Scion-type vehicles lately with some blue-ish
plastic film adhered to the outside of the headlight housing.
Obviously trying to give their car the "cool blue" look of the HID
lights. I had to laugh.

It's an accessory that goes with the bright yellow NOS stickers and the fart
can mufflers.
Surely it adds at least ten horsepower, right?

LOL

Several catalogs carry a film to cover the headlamps "to protect from
rock chips, bugs", etc. They also have a clear film to put on the
sides "to protect from door dings", etc.

Personally, I prefer bubble wrap.
That way it acts as a security system too, it pops when they bang it with a
door.

I recently heard that some company is now marketing an electronic
amplifier of some kind to make the exhaust louder and throatier.
Great, now we get to hear everybody's stupid cars with the coffee-can
mufflers being ramped up thru a P.A. system!
