Top Tips for Pink Automotive Accessories on a Budget

Most buyers put a strong emphasis on price when searching around for pink car accessories. When looking to stylize your car, truck or SUV with pink accents, cost can be one of the greatest deciding factors besides appearance and performance of the product. I’d like to discuss a few methods you should keep in mind when searching for pink car accessories in order to give your vehicle the greatest style overhaul while focusing on the most cost-effective items.

First of all, I must point out that certain products are just going to be more expensive than others because of their nature. For example, a set of pink neon underglow lights are certainly a powerful addition to any ride, but light sets like these usually start at about $100 and can get even pricier when looking at brand name kits.

My advice is to select accessories that still offer a powerful presentation for your vehicle but are less expensive. For instance, a set of pink seat covers can make an impactful statement in any car since they cover so much visible space of the interior. However, a good set of seat covers run significantly less in cost than a set of neon lights. Other terrific cost-effective items include pink steering wheel covers, floor mats and exterior decals.

2010 Chevrolet Equinox Road Test

If you don’t believe in second chances, take a look at the new Chevrolet Equinox. While the first one was fine, this latest version is much more so. It’s also much more challenging to the rest of the very competitive compact crossover class, including Toyota’s RAV4 and Honda’s CR-V.

To begin with, it offers a choice of two new direct-injected, variable-valve-timing engines, a standard 2.4-liter four and an optional 3.0-liter V-6, both happily married to six-speed automatic transmissions. The latter offers 264 horses and 18 mpg city and 25 highway EPA economy. The former pumps out 182 ponies and trumps the class at 22 mpg city, 32 highway. According to Chevy, that translates to a potential highway driving range of as much as 600 miles with the four and more than 500 with the six. Four-cylinder models with available all-wheel drive are rated somewhat lower at 20 mpg city, 29 highway, but there’s a selectable “Eco” mode that adjusts the transmission’s shift points to optimize economy.

The new Equinox heads the way with Chevy’s signature global face: a two-tier grille with a visible gold bowtie badge. Muscular fender shapes, wraparound headlamps and dual round tail lamps are additional design-defining elements. Wraparound rear glass and an aggressive wheels-at-the-corners stance complete the look, while efficiency enhancing aerodynamics are achieved through wind-tunnel-tested measures that include moving the base of the windshield forward approximately three inches (vs. the 2009) for a sleeker profile.
