Affordable Spoilers and Performance Parts

Chevy cars like the Cavalier has a unique tuner-theme body kit, lowered suspension, wheel flares and a functional rear spoiler that gives it a distinct appearance. Bring out the true performance greatness of your Chevy by adding Parts Train's Chevy spoiler or a wing to your car is a great way to a sportier and cooler stance. Body accessory like a Chevy spoiler can make a huge difference on the car's over-all look. It can be universally made, customized or made for a specific type of vehicle.

Universal spoilers fit all car types but other models need a specific kind of spoiler to suit its distinct features and dimensions. Custom made wings can reflect the uniqueness and individuality of the car and the user since he can decide as to what will be the specific style, color and design he desires. Chevy Spoilers like all other car spoilers used to be the property of race and sports cars, which is commonly mounted on the rear side of the vehicle. Other makes and models have them front and back.

Make Parts Train's Chevy spoilers an important part of your Chevy body kit and accessories. As with all other car spoilers, Chevy spoilers are meant to increase "road grip." The vehicle's weight is actually a good way to increase its grip or hold on the road. Increase in weight forces the tire of the vehicle onto the road's surface but can have negative results on the handling and steering of the car. Added weight means added inertia, which needs to be overcome for facility of movement.

Chevy Spoilers (rear spoilers or rear auto wings) as in the Chevy S10 body kit function like airplane wings although it is mounted upside down. Cars with spoilers have greater advantages over others. Chevy Spoilers add up to the car's weight and overcome the difficulty in steering and handling.

With Parts Train's Chevy Spoilers, the car can slide easily and can stick better on the road. Aside from the generated down force, drag is also produced with the spontaneous reaction of the air to resist motion.

Headlights in the Daytime

Its the middle of the day, but the car behind me is blinding me with its lights blazing in my mirrors.

What is this with headlights in daylight? It doesnt seem to be too sensible to me. To say that it helps you see a moving car is surely just not true. If you are a driver and you cant tell if another vehicle is moving then surely you shouldnt be driving. True, the emergency services use their headlights to reinforce their blue flashing lights, but with so many other sets of headlights these get lost in the whole illuminated scene, and so they are not very useful at all.

It was said by one major bus company that their experiment, over three months, demonstrated that accident numbers were reduced when their buses were using headlights all day. Does that mean the average person cant see a bus? What they didnt point out was that the three months was in a period when traffic accidents statistically are at their lowest, so really the trial seems to me to have been loaded to produce the desired result. Strangely, the same figures are used to prove that speed cameras reduce accident, too.

A downside of unnecessary use of headlights focuses on the current question of global warming.

A car with headlights on is throwing out at least 130 watts of light and heat. Assuming the figure of thirty million vehicles in the United Kingdom, if just ten per cent of those are using headlights in the daytime, that means they are consuming around 390 megawatts of energy. Quite a lot of heat and light, you have to agree. Consider, then, that quite a lot of these vehicles are also using fog lights (why?) burning another 110 watts or so per car, and that could add several more megawatts to the total.

With much of this power being converted into heat then surely this must contribute significantly to the rising temperature, beside the extra fuel being used to generate all this extra electricity producing so much more exhaust gases. That, in turn is producing more carbon and other pollutants to add to the greenhouse effect.

This is just considering the United Kingdom. Imagine what sort of figures you would get if you looked worldwide at this.

Do we really need headlights in daylight? I think not.
