Auto-themed products you should splurge on

Power upgrade

The Chevrolet Corvette punches well above its price class. Lingenfelter Performance Engineering now offers the highperformance look of carbon fibre — and more power — with the new Performance Design Carbon pTR Intake Manifold for the 2020 and newer Corvette. The unit was designed to work with the stock Corvette LT2 engine, and the $2,100 (U.S.) manifold package includes the “appropriate” conversion parts. Get more details at lingenfelter.com.

Charged up

The 750-amp RM750 OzCharge super capacitor booster pack from Australiabased RescueMate is claimed to maintain a full charge for up to five years. According to the company, the OzCharge can actually recharge in seconds off a nearly dead car battery (with as little as three volts) and then boost that same battery. The OzCharge is also claimed to work in extreme hot or cold conditions and to never overheat. Get more information from rescue-mate.com.au and purchase for $200 (U.S.) plus shipping to Canada from amazon.com.

Garage-door murals

Do you have an airplane in your garage? A boat, or classic car? It can be any one of these and more with a garage poster from style-your-garage.com. This German company specializes in dressing up garage doors using images from its gallery. You can also submit your own images. Each creation is made of “indestructible” material that attaches to wood or metal doors with Velcro fasteners. They take 30 to 60 minutes to install. Although the murals are designed for up-and-over-type doors, they can, according to the company, fit panel-type openings. Prices start at about $245 (U.S) for single doors and $315 (U.S.) for double doors. View the full range at style-your-garage.com.
