When launched in 1985, the Saturn corporation was among the youngest companies to join the car making arena. Despite being far behind the competition due to coming in late, the corporation has survived long enough to prove itself as a viable option in the globally competitive automotive market, even encouraging an annual gathering of Saturn owners and enthusiast in what can best be called a "homecoming" held in Spring Hill, Tennessee, once a key manufacturing plant of the company. The event may be compared to a certain Bavarian-based auto maker that has a similar event held yearly.
As a new comer to the fray, Saturn has adopted many of the technologies and innovations of its predecessors, with the aftermarket industry not far behind in providing add-ons and replacement components and accessories for the company's 9 product lines. True to its nature, the aftermarket catering to Saturn-made vehicle owners present similar traits to products for other makes and brands, i.e. cheaper than Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) replacements, performance and decorative add-ons. There of course products that serve a dual purpose, one of which is the .
While seemingly mundane as a car add-on, the detail that tail light covers provide may subtly enhance a car, minivan or SUV's look, even completing a vision or design concept for heavily customized Saturns. On the practical side, a Saturn tail light cover shields the tail light assembly from road debris and effectively, scratches or breakage. As a safety and early warning device, tail lights are required by law by many States to always be in a functioning state. While the unlikeliness that the tail light assembly can suffer such damage is arguable, the cost of replacing the entire assembly is reason enough to invest in extra insurance. The aesthetic factor is simply a plus, but for those who put a lot of stock on design, Saturn tail light covers are a viable and affordable option.
While not necessarily the overhauling upgrade like most aftermarket products, tail light covers duality as both a decorative product and as a form of protection and the relatively low cost makes it an attractive accessory for vehicles of Saturn or otherwise.
