    Black wheels?

    Faux bead locks

    Plasti-dip?

    Cosmetic only (no real function) LEDs?

    I could give 40 years of trends that have faded, all of which were hot for their era. Just 10 years ago Alteezas, clear corner markers and mufflers with tips that could launch grapefruit, car alarms/remotes/pagers were all the rage. Now, not so much.

    So when do you predict these (or others) will fade?

    Have any already jumped the shark?

    What will the next 'must have' be?

    I'm pretty sure the "murdered out" that was super popular a few years ago is starting to disappear

    Who runs LED's that serve no function? That kind of seems like a waste of money to me.
