4 Introduction to Auto Restyling Auto makers offer a wide range of car models. Within each model type they also offer a range of choices. On the surface it would seem that you could select a car that would be almost unique to you. Unfortunately, that is not the case. When you consider the number of units of each model sold there is bound to be overlap. Suddenly, you notice that every second car on the street looks like yours. You are no longer unique. You are one of the crowd. How can you stand out; make yourself and your choice of car different. You can restyle it. What is restyling? Restyling is adding a unique element to your car. This element should be highly visible so your changes are noticeable everywhere. Restyling your car can be fun.

So what restyling option is best for me? We can t tell you that but in this report we will explain the benefits on one of the most visible options.
