StartupRealities No 158 TinfoilCars is an automotive design company which produces external car parts (doors and roofs) with a smooth surface finish that resembles crumpled aluminium tinfoil. The company's patented finish has two advantages: 1) The surface reflects light in all directions, making the cars easy to spot from a distance (while the smoothness of the surface does not create additional drag). 2) If the car is involved in a minor accident, a bent bumper or a damaged door do not need to be repaired at all, as deformed parts blend in easily with the rest of the car. CEO QUOTE "We are saving the world millions of hours of unnecessary work. You no longer need to go to a car repair shop to fix a bent bumper You can simply drive it and no one will notice." said TinfoilCars founder and CEO Tina Carluccio .
