It has been a long time since I was in a car parts store, like Autobacs, but I remember being struck by the difference in product range from what I was used to - Japanese stores had aisle upon aisle devoted to decorative gear knobs and steering wheels, cup holders, ornamental doodads, trash receptacles with mascots, scents, designer-brand floor mats and car shoes. Back home the equivalent space was devoted to anti-theft devices and more anti-theft devices.
