MOMO has long held the title of the worlds best interior auto accessories, but there is some competition coming from SHUTT. MOMO shift knobs are very popular worldwide and can be found in all types of rides. SHUTT is very popular in South America and has outsold MOMO, SPARCO, and GRANT for many years, there business started in 1993 and has recently come to the US market in the last two years. Both MOMO and SHUTT are of the highest quality auto accessories only using the best materials in their designs. It seems that the only area the two companies don’t agree is price, with SHUTT consistently coming in around 20% less.

SHUTT was at SEMA 2008 and had a variety of gear shift knobs available for viewing. Made from such materials as leather, carbon fiber, aluminum, chromed details and quality laser imprinted logos. The shifter knobs were very attractive and had a great feel to them…very comfortable. The leather was thick and durable, as it was in all the products. The shift knobs attach to your current shifter lever by way of set screws set around the base usually hidden behind a screw on base…function incorporated into the fashion. SHUTT has several leather shifter boots to go along with your new shift knob, that way you can complete the look.

You may have seen SHUTT ads in some auto mags like import tuner, car stereo tuning, full power and more. And I am sure you will see more in the future, SHUTT will only grow as word More…

At one time, the humble mud flap or splash guard were nothing more than truck and auto accessories of thick black rubber, meant to protect your truck from stones, dirt and other debris thrown up from the road. Over time, mud flaps have gone from functional truck and car accessories to a pop culture form of self-expression.

The most iconic of these truck and car accessories characters is simply known as “The Mud Flap Girl”. We’ve all seen her before: She’s the buxom silver silhouette of a long-legged beauty lounging with one leg provocatively crossed over the other, hair blowing in the wind. Bill Zinda of Wiz Enterprises in Long Beach, California, created this famous character to promote his line of truck and auto accessories and based the character upon a famous model named Leta Laroe.

Another famous character to make an appearance on these truck and car accessories is Yosemite Sam pointing his two cartoon pistols with a caption beneath declaring, “Back Off!” or, “All Fired Up”. Other Warner Brother characters have also made appearances, such as a frightened Daffy Duck and an overly upset Tweety Bird.

These mud flap characters are so engrained in our psych that they have gone beyond truck and car accessories and began appearing in commercials together. One famous commercial created for the Superbowl in 2006 had the Mud Flap Girl and Yosemite Sam driving away in a Honda Ridgeway.

If you are an automobile owner, it is important to ensure that you know how to change your oil.

Over the course of time, the oil in your vehicle experiences a general type of breakdown as a result of operating in conditions that have a relatively high temperature. If the oil is not changed on a regular basis, it will eventually fail to lubricate parts and components of the engine effectively. Additionally, the additives that are contained in the oil begin to fail in neutralizing the numerous acids contained within the engine. When oil becomes old and overworked, substances such as water and byproducts of the internal combustion may begin corroding various parts of the engine.

Tools Required When Changing Oil

There are various types of tools and accessories that are required when changing your own oil. First, you will want to have a socket set that contains a 3/8 drive. It is also appropriate to have a wrench set that is considered to be a “combination” unit. These typically contain a closed end, opened end, and a metric wrench. You also should have a brand new oil filter as well as a wrench that is designed to remove and attach the oil filter. You should also ensure that you have a large container that can be used to “catch” the oil that is removed from the vehicle and storage containers to place the oil in afterwards as it is consid More…
