Do you like to walk to the beat of your own drummer? Do you abhor the idea of blending into society like a robotic drone, but get chided for your point of view?

“The best thing you’ve got going for you is individuality,” said Richard Thompson, a British musician, who can play a mean guitar.

You can listen to your inner artist and nurture your taste in numerous ways - without being an anarchist. Express your personality through an assortment of clothes in your closet and a customized music play list. Or you can take an adventure vacation, adopt the ugliest dog you can find, or accessorize your car in the way you have always dreamed.

Specialized aftermarket center caps, vanity plates, seat covers and rims that shine from here to tomorrow are just a few of the ways to express your individuality. Here is a checklist to get you started on setting your vehicle apart.
