From car eyelashes to fuzzy dice, here’s a list of the weirdest, funniest, and most unnecessary car accessories people are actually spending money on.
Let’s face it—we love personalizing our cars. But somewhere between “custom” and “chaotic,” things can get a little… ridiculous. From eyelashes on headlights to tissue boxes shaped like cats, here’s a roundup of the wildest car accessories people actually buy (and install!).
Yes, they exist—and yes, people stick them on their headlights. Car eyelashes are a fun, flirty accessory that instantly gives your ride a “sassy” personality. But are they fierce or just funny? We’ll let you decide.
Whether it’s Elvis, a hula dancer, or Baby Yoda, dashboard bobbleheads bring character to your commute… and a little distraction on pothole-filled roads.
Want your car to literally shoot flames? Exhaust flame kits let you ignite fuel in your tailpipe—for a price, and probably a ticket. Fun at car shows. Questionable for your daily driver.
Need a place to eat lunch in your parked car? Why not attach a mini tray to your steering wheel? Just don’t forget to remove it before you drive… seriously.
Classic or cringe? Fuzzy dice were cool in the 1950s and somehow still survive on mirrors today. Is it nostalgia or just habit?
These flashy little caps make your tires glow as you drive. A hit with kids… and maybe a miss on your Lexus.
We’ve seen cats, pandas, even plush loaves of bread dispensing tissues from your dash. Equal parts handy and hilarious.
A spoiler on a Camry? If it’s not going 100 mph, it’s just a weird shelf. Spoilers can look cool—but not when they’re bigger than the trunk they’re attached to.
Car accessories can be awesome… or awesomely weird. While some mods add comfort or personality, others just raise eyebrows (or eyebrows with eyelashes!). If you’re thinking about resale, maybe hold off on the flamethrower exhaust and light-up dice.
Do ridiculous car accessories hurt resale value?
Yes, especially if they alter the vehicle permanently or make it less appealing to mainstream buyers. Accessories like giant spoilers, decals, or excessive lighting may reduce offers from dealerships and private buyers.
Which car accessories are actually worth it?
Practical add-ons like all-weather floor mats, phone mounts, or trunk organizers tend to add utility without hurting resale value. Anything flashy or gimmicky should be removable.
Are any of these accessories illegal?
Some—like exhaust flame kits or overly bright underglow lights—may violate state vehicle codes. Always check your local laws before installing anything that modifies lighting, emissions, or sound.
If you’re shopping for a family SUV, you’re probably juggling the same priorities as everyone else: safety, usable space, comfort, good tech, and a layout that makes daily life easier (car seats, strollers, sports gear, grocery runs… all of it). This list focuses on the best all-around family SUVs—mixing two-row and three-row options—based on recurring top placements in major editorial rankings and family-vehicle award lists.
Vehicle theft in the U.S. is down in 2025, but a small group of very common cars still account for a disproportionate share of stolen vehicles. Using the latest industry data, this report breaks down the most stolen cars of the year, explains why certain models are targeted more often than others, and explores the broader trend behind today’s theft patterns. If you own a popular sedan or pickup, understanding this data — and how theft risk is becoming more concentrated — can help you make smarter decisions about protecting your vehicle.
In 2025, electric vehicles stopped being a niche, high-end experiment and started looking a lot more like “normal cars” in terms of price and choice. Battery costs dropped, more mainstream brands launched compact and mid-size EVs, and the used EV market finally started to feel like a real segment rather than a curiosity. This recap looks at what actually changed in 2025, which models and vehicle types benefited most, and what it all means if you’re thinking about buying or selling a car in the next few years.
Halloween is one of the most anticipated nights of the year—streets filled with excited trick-or-treaters, creative costumes, and glowing jack-o’-lanterns. But while we focus on jump scares and haunted houses, there’s a more serious risk on our roads: distracted driving.
From garage folklore to advice passed down from family and friends, car myths have a way of sticking around — even when they’re no longer true. While some tips made sense decades ago, advances in automotive technology mean many old “rules” no longer apply. Believing them today can cost you time, money, and even performance. Let’s clear the air and separate fact from fiction once and for all.
Autumn brings unique opportunities for car sellers—from steady pre-winter demand to avoiding cold-weather wear. If you’re considering a sale, fall can be a smart window to move.
