Distinctive Ride

Most automobiles are built on an assembly line alongside thousands of identical automobiles. Some accept this fate, but others fight it by searching for unique gadgets, parts, and accessories at shops such as Distinctive Ride. Here, technicians install all kinds of aftermarket products—AstroStart and Encore remote starters, high-intensity discharge lights, and an array of car audio devices, including subwoofers and speakers. They coat windows in tinted film and are certified to install Parrot hands-free devices that give feet a chance to dial the phone for once.
