    Question What do you think is the next hot custom car trend?!

    Over here at Speciatly Car Craft we are always coming up with new and creative ways to customize cars.

    While I've thought of quite a few, I am sure i am missing some, so in your honest opinions, what do you think will be the next trend in customizing cars?

    probably paint... like a strong contrast between two colors... matte trim with glossy paint?

    I hope not....

    I think the flat, matte and satin color schemes will live on for some time.

    something to bring out the sharp lines and angles of the next generation of cars...
    maybe a new design concept from futuristic and angular to organic/insect?

    How about just really glossycars with nice wheels.
    What happened to just plain badass. Minus the Matte anything.
    If I wanted dull I would leave it in primer. Not.
    Sorry guys, the Matte thing is ok for some, high end or even well.. some cars.
    The CF looks sick, if I had to put my .02 in I would say Carbon Fiber wraps would be cool if the car had accent trim to go with it..

    I think that most of the exotic car companies are going to start turning away from the trend over the past few years to push the horsepower limit and move to lighter more agile cars.

    So I agree with more carbon fibre monocoque bodies with special paints. New metal compounds for wheels - beyond even magnesium. And maybe even engine parts moving to lighter, high tech metals.
