1. CarLashes

A little cosmetics turns this car into a beauty, even it is already a gorgeously styled sedan. CarLashes is a set of 8.5-inch-long plastic eyelashes that uses a double-sided adhesive to attach to the space above the car’s headlights. What’s great is that the adhesive won’t damage the car’s finish when you remove them.
