Heart-Shaped Exhaust Tips

Blue Diamond Chrome Puts a Feminine Twist on Car Parts

— December 15, 2014 — Autos
Personalizing people's lives has manifested in a variety of ways over the years and this heart-shaped exhaust pipe is one of the more unique creations. Since the show 'Pimp My Ride,' customizing cars has taken a life of its own and the heart-shaped exhaust tip is a fun way to add a feminine flair to the predominantly male-dominated industry.

Adorable and subtle, the heart-shaped exhaust tip was created by Blue Diamond Chrome. A universal creation, there is also a star-shaped tip available. The only thing that a person might want to inquire about is whether or not any puffs of smoke will come out shaped like a heart or star as well. That would make it truly special.
Trend Themes
1. Customized Car Parts - As personalization continues to trend, customization of car parts presents an opportunity for disruptive innovation in the automotive industry.
2. Feminine Flair Aesthetic - The heart-shaped exhaust tip taps into the growing preference for feminine aesthetic in traditionally male-dominated industries like automobiles, thus presenting an opportunity for disruptive innovation in the auto customization industry.
3. Universal Car Parts - Universal car parts, like Blue Diamond Chrome's heart and star-shaped exhaust tips, have a broad appeal that represents an opportunity for disruptive innovation in the automotive industry.
Industry Implications
